World track bans transgender women from competition

There are sports governing bodies aren’t there like the one inFL for HS sports - FHSSA. It has some independence as does the AAU.

 

Ah the accusation of “feigning sympathy”. Just because you are supporting trans women athletes over real women don’t blame me for that dumb take.

 

Apparently you're not familiar with Caster Semenya. She's not trans. She's an actual woman born with an intersex condition resulting in a significantly higher level of testosterone than is normal for a woman giving her an athletic advantage over most other women. To even the scales the governing body of women's track insisted that she take a testosterone suppressor.

 

Truly sorry. Yeah, I don’t make it a high priority to keep up with manly women who run track. Kudos to you for knowing who Caster Semenya is.

 

Understandable since the subject of this thread is about transgender women. I mentioned Semenya is response to another post which raised the issue of of her hormone levels.

 

This joke is a mess.

 

They appeal their situation to the board if their is an issue. But XX should compete against XX and XY should compete against XY. It is not a hard concept.

 

Huh? Since when have you needed facts before weighing in on a topic?

 

It is still not right, IMO trans women should not be allowed to compete against female athletes. However, they should be allowed to compete in men's sports. The Locker room issues may require creativity. XXY athletes are in a league of their own. Not sure I can make a call without more information.

 

Not if the bill allowing DeSantis to pick its members passes.

 

How can a woman whose last name is Semenya not have elevated testosterone?

 

Interesting the world triathalon board has just created an open category to mixed reviews I can’t find any record of a transgendered man with a notable result but in 2009 a transgendered woman did very well and followed it up with a 7th in his age group on team USA duathalon in 2015

LOL, since when have you weighed in on something with supporting facts?

 

How about people with this condition? While it's an admittedly rare condition, that's an overly broad statement.

Now that this crucial world problem has been solved, what will the right tackle next? Jaywalking?

 

Maybe trying to figure out why the left is so interested in having drag shows for little kids?

 

A drag queen reading a child's book to little kids is not a drag show. It's the equivalent a clown in full makeup reading to the kids. If there are lefties in favor of having drag shows for little kids please provide some examples with links. Just asking.

 

Just stop it.
Libbies so open minded their brains fall out.

 

Added bonus is that kids are terrified by clowns. Drag queens not so much. They get it.

 

At least "libbies" are not inflicted with DQDS (Drag Queen Derangement Syndrome) unlike the current crop of so called conservatives.
