Transgender athletes’ bogus wins in women’s sports show lack of common sense

The responses to the original post have morphed, sadly, from the issue of transgender athletes to transgender-ism in general.

As a former veteran high school teacher who witnessed a few of these transformations, the emotional, psychological, and physical decision-making kids and families go through is huge. To think a big reason for such a life-altering change is to hold [for a year or two] the county high jump record is truly shortsighted.
Who is saying that? What isn’t shortsighted is the unfair advantage that exists for them at the expense of female athletes… a group that has still been fighting for equality even since Title IX was passed 50 years ago.

So why do you have a problem Debating the issue?
 
Nobody is preventing trans women from competing in athletics. They can compete against athletes in their biological category anytime they want.

The strategy is to label anyone who disagrees with trans women competing in female sports as transphobic or homophobic. The strategy is used to silence common sense and science, and it's very effective.

We have to stop worrying about being labeled and voice our opinions. This country has thrived by encouraging discussion between opposing points of view, silencing opinion and discussion will not end well.
 
Perfectly fine. They can and should live their lives and be happy. They should live without judgmental people thinking they know best that they need therapy. Trans people have been around forever. You just haven’t come out of your cave to notice.

You still haven't answered my questions. What is your expertise on this topic? What have your interactions with trans people been like?
 
Whether you or I disagree with it doesn't matter. The powers that be have decided that this is acceptable. I hate to say it is the only way this changes in the next couple of years if naturally born women choose not to compete against transgender athletes and somebody like ESPN or CBS loses money because of it.
Only one party believes that there are an infinite number of genders to be fair.

Agreed. Only fascists oppose free debate.

No one is saying they don’t have empathy for the trans person or the situation. But life is hard and some want to look away from basic biology which is fact and allow trans athletes that have a biological advantage destroy the record book in female sports. Tell me why biological female trans athletes who identify as males aren’t dominating men’s sports if there is no advantage? That is the debate.

Who cares what or if he’s even had an interaction with one of these mentally ill individuals? If you had an anorexic person go to a doctor saying they believe they’re fat, would the doctor affirm them by performing liposuction or prescribing diet pills? This is absolutely no different. Both are warped visions of themselves.

So in the future…
Men’s sports
Women’s sports
Men who couldn’t make the men’s team sports

Why can’t these guys just accept that they aren’t good enough to compete and leave women’s sports alone?
