March 18, 20223 yr It is disgraceful that they let him compete with these women who have been working hard their entire lives. Men don’t compete with women because it’s literally not a competition then - it’s science - something libs want to deny when it comes to women and babies apparently.

Yeah but they don't want to deny them their right to prostitute themselves...
March 18, 20223 yr Imagine training your entire life for a competition only to have some dude come along and tuck his wiener and blow you out because of basic biological differences that give him an insane advantage.

March 18, 20223 yr Not that they already weren’t, but the NCAA is a total joke for allowing this coward to compete with girls.
March 18, 20223 yr what do you free thinking folks think the ncaa, high schools, etc. should do about transsexuals' who wish to participate in sports? i'd love to read your ideas! thnx.

I feel like it's just the natural progression to putting women back in their place. Time to move them from sports arenas back to the kitchen where they belong.

How about letting them compete in their own events? Let any trans compete in the same event, regardless of whether they're male-to-female or female-to-male. How does that make you feel, Mr. Hunt?

How does that make you feel, Mr. Hunt? own events meaning trans would only compete against other trans? are there enough trans athletes that this would be realistic? i have no idea. and it doesn't make me feel anything as this issue has no impact on my life whatsoever. but thank you for asking, fella.

As long as there's at least one competitor what difference does it make how many? There will be a trophy handed out. I can't wait to read Lia's book about how she overcame great adversity and prejudice to rise to the top.
March 18, 20223 yr Did that Toty guy get banned? Looks like a bunch of his posts in here were deleted

I mean it’s unfortunate but in most cases no there probably wouldn’t be - unless some leagues started forming like with para and special Olympics. It may be unfortunate to be born with no legs either but most people probably wouldn’t endorse a fully able bodied person trying to win a gold in the Paralympics. It would be an inherently unfair advantage and no longer a real competition won through hard work.

Your testosterone levels are likely low enough that you would be allowed to compete in women's sports with little pushback, if that's what you're getting at.
March 18, 20223 yr https://www.newsnationnow.com/sports/lia-thomas-upenn-transgender-swimmer-martina-navratilova/ Quote (NewsNation) — The day before University of Pennsylvania’s transgender swimmer Lia Thomas, 22, is set to compete in the NCAA women’s swimming and diving championships, tennis star Martina Navratilova said the rules allowing her to compete need to change. "Its not about excluding transgender women from winning, ever,” Navratilova told NewsNation’s Rich McHugh in an exclusive interview. "But it is about not allowing them to win when they were not anywhere near winning as men. You try to keep it as close as possible to what it would have been had you been born in the female biological body in the first place.” Thomas’ eligibility as a swimmer on the women’s team has been hotly debated after she started her collegiate career on the university’s men’s team while she was transitioning and then returned to swim on the women’s team this year. "The solution perhaps for now is (for Thomas) to swim in another lane or you can compete but you don’t get the medal because the (NCAA) rules are not correct,” Navratilova said. "Right now, the rules are what they are. Maybe put an asterisk there, if she starts breaking records left and right and if Lia goes to the Olympics because she’s hitting her prime now physically.” Until recently, the NCAA’s transgender participation policy deferred to the national governing body in each sport. Last month, USA Swimming announced new rules for transgender women. To compete, they must demonstrate testosterone levels below five nanomoles per liter for three years before competition. They must also provide evidence that they do not have a competitive advantage from being born male. The NCAA chose not to adopt those new rules for the 2022 swim season because it "could have unfair and potentially detrimental impacts on schools and student-athletes intending to compete in the 2022 NCAA women’s swimming championships.” They require demonstrated testosterone levels below 10 nanomoles per liter. "In the future, maybe it should be an open category for everybody and then biological females, so trans women can compete but they compete against men and trans men have a choice,” she added. Navratilova has been an outspoken advocate for LGBTQ atheletes in the past, though her views on trans athletes has come under scrutiny by the LGBTQ community. This is not the first time Navratilova has spoken out against Thomas’ eligiblity. In December, she tweeted that it was "not fair for women to race against transgender Lia Thomas.” interesting to hear from a former athlete.

Let her practice with the team if she wants and participate in any casual events, but unfortunately I can't get behind letting her compete with women born female in competitive events. Not fair to the other athletes who are being forced out of events because of her. If they can get enough numbers for a trans athlete event then hey go for it.
