Biden to force colleges to allow men to compete in women's sports

[Merrill]

schools will not longer be able to put in restrictions or bans involving pre-op transgender men from competing in any women's sport

as Lia Thomas' teammates had to watch a teammate with male genitalia in the locker room, this will now become the norm. Most, if not all, female collegiate sports records will be broken by biological men

That article is incomplete. It permit discrimination on a sport by sport basis for reasons of fairness or danger of injury. While I think the laws reflect a general animus against trans, those are the justifications normally given. School Sports Cannot ‘Categorically’ Ban Transgender Athletes, Under Biden Proposal

Does not look normal to me.

If I were the women dealing with that nonsense, I would ask us all to not show up for competions.

I don't know how it has gotten so far. There are only two sexes, what you "identify" as is irrelevant.

 

[Merrill]

and I can imagine that liberal schools will actively recruit transgender athletes --so the girls will see guys in the locker-room all over the country.

the only answer to this is for the girls to quit, and when enough do, and when women's NCAA athletics completely tanks, these insane policies will be reversed

Most of the people I know of through work who virtue signal their pronouns on email signatures and on LinkedIn are women.

I would speculate that most straight people who cheer the Pride before a fall parades of drag queens, gimps and people flaunting plastic phalli in front of children are women. Before lockdown, I heard several gay men complain about straight women invading gay bars.

Unless he is a father of a sporty daughter who is worried about her budding professional career and her locker room experiences, I would advise men to stay out of this controversy. Some may feel like a white knight championing women's sports but they'll get no thanks for it and they might fall foul of recently invented hate laws into the poor bargain. When did women ever defend former male spaces?

I think it is our fight. If we only care about rights we personally intend to use, we’re going to lose all of them.

Rights according to whom?

The only rights we have are those endowed by our Creator, God. Humans making
up their own rights is the problem we have, but it's been this way since Adam and Eve.

This is like getting involved in a domestic dispute. The person you think you're protecting is the one who will stab you in the back.

If I actually care enough about this kind of issue in sport I would think that split by birth sex makes sense to me.

But I barely care about aport

This has now been overturned by the Olympics governing body.

The trans winner of a swimming competition has been stripped of the title and the female swimmer who came in second has been declared the winner by the governor of the state.

No, that governs world-level competition. That does not overturn Biden's changes to Title IX, which affects US public schools and universities. Of course, to the extent that transwomen in US schools and universities knock the best biological women out of advancement to those levels, it will mean that the US will be less competitive at the world level.

Female competitors should boycott events where trans women are competing.

 

[JimR-OCDS]

Well just like feminists who claim that if a woman can do the job, she should be allowed into men's
sports.

So now the shoe is on the other foot. Biological men can do the job, so they should be
allowed to compete in women's sports, right?

Wrong!

Unfortunately, a significant number of women athletes and coaches are allies to transwoman athletes.

Women are going to have to work this out for themselves.

The Biden administration has the worst policies ever, glad to see the world working on getting it right, to bad we have Biden in the US.

If a biological woman tried to play American football as part of a men's team, she would be totally slaughtered. If she competed against men in swimming, she would come last. So, there are no examples of biological women competing in men's sports at all.

They compete in High School football, and now coach in the NFL.

There is more to men's sports than just having the ability to participate.

Males have a bonding and behavior among themselves, that changes as soon
as a female enters the mix. I see it in the military as well. Young girls who look
like they couldn't punch their way out of a paper bag are allowed into military units
and on ships. My grandson is on a ship and I was shocked at the pics I saw. Oh yeah,
it's because I hate women.
