These organizations should be examining what is fair enough for their sports and ideally should have little to do with political movements.
And they've determined it is fair enough to have the men and women compete separately.

I applaud them for not caving to a political movement. Sport, like science, should not be politicized.

Explain to me my view on pro athletes doing steroids..This should be interesting.
Its in all those threads you started on the issue.
Wait, you didn't start or post any threads about steroid uses by pro athletes?
You don't care about that at all?
Only this?

That's the point.

Anyhow…my original question was to ask why people get so upset about this in the first place…and please don’t tell me that it’s because you care so deeply about fairness in women’s sports🤣🤣🤣

So what is it then? Because it just seems like more bigotry and fear mongering from the Right.
I'm not upset at all.
I just think the mere concept of allowing biological males to compete in women's sports just because they "feel" like a woman is utterly ridiculous.

FYI Lia Thomas still has the complete male package.
And even if she's taking female hormones you can clearly see she has a big advantage over the girls she competed against.
You can call it bigotry if you want, but most rational people would just call it common sense.

Thankfully the Olympic committee sees it the same way and has barred Lia.
I dont understand why we cant have a transgender division for all sports??
Let the transgenders compete against each other, and most people will be fine with that

And both the Olympic and World Aquatics organizations have ruled.

World Aquatics welcomed the news, hailing it as a 'major step forward in our efforts to protect women's sport.'
The Life Aquatic also welcomed the news.

Apparently, you have decided you care about women's sports more than the members that don't agree with your perspective here. I would call this a not so veiled attempt at virtue signaling.

You're entitled to your opinion, but you drift off into some inferred virtue of supporting the transgender population. In this matter of women's sports, you can only support the transgender women by hurting biologically female athletes. I don't see anyway around that and I don't see them as the same.

And yeah, I follow some women's sports. The Olympics are also a big deal.

There are already rules in place for most sports.
So again, what is the problem?

So what happens to this wacko that killed his family, does he go to a male prison or a female facility? Does it depend if he has dick and balls?

Transgender Utah woman shot parents dead, told police she would 'do it again': police

Mia Bailey, 28, led multiple police agencies on an hours-long Utah manhunt in her yellow Kia Soul

An "armed and dangerous" transgender woman accused of gunning down her parents in their Utah home spurred an hours-long manhunt this week, telling authorities she would "do it again" after her capture.

Mia Bailey, 28, was arrested Wednesday and charged with 11 felony counts related to the double homicide of parents Joseph, 70, and Gail Bailey, 69, and the attempted murder of her brother, according to the Washington City Police Department.

"We have some good news. We have the suspect in custody." St. George Police Officer Tiffany Mitchell announced in a Facebook live broadcast, telling residents of the Bloomington Hills and Fort Pierce they were no longer urged to shelter in place. "Everyone is safe. No one else was injured."

Right, says the guys who every time someone points out a Hamas atrocity never says, jeez that's horrible but instead quotes some twitter account, often with lies in them.

So you must admit, you are a fan of terrorism, murder, rape and hostage taking. Good to know.

Never mind that you logic here is seriously lacking.

I call for both sides to be held to the law, buddy.
You must really know you've lost the argument if you have to bring up your support of genocide to try to make a point.

I just hope that all the little MAGAites won't be too busy demanding to see what kids have in their underwear during recreational sports.

When the trans issue is not involved, it's sexist to suggest differences between male and female brains....
So you want to avoid the politics and listen to sciences, except when the science doesn't back your politics.
