📡 ACLU speaks out on transgender girls being allowed in women's competition. (This is not a follow the science diatribe.)

No set chromosomes. They've really gone with there's no X or Y here.

Hmmm. You know, I genuinely try to keep an open mind on things, but I need to challenge the argument in point one. All natural mammalian females are provided with the equipment necessary to produce an egg and provide a place for the fertilized egg to develop during gestation. They are also provided mammary glands. All natural mammalian males are provided with the equipment to produce and deliver sperm to fertilize those eggs. Of course there are natural exceptions; platypus, birth defects, etc.

While both natural males and females have both estrogen and testosterone, the "normal" natural ranges of those hormones in both is distinctly different. In reading about trans females, it is clearly recognized that they don't have a uterus or ovaries and don't have a monthly bleeding cycle and therefore don't technically menstruate, but they try to equate other physiological and psychological symptoms as a "period."

Of course, those that go through the full process including surgeries have a protocol of heavy hormone treatments because they don't produce them naturally.

I'm not going to get involved with condemning someone who "identifies" a certain way. Live and let live; none of my business. However, if someone were to ask my opinion about certain circumstances, I will give it where appropriate. In this case, I think what is happening is that the ACLU is trying to feed the public the narrative that psychological/mental characteristics are equal to physiological characteristics and I'm afraid I have to disagree about that.

I'm not a scientist, but the issue isn't with men/women who are well on their way in transitioning. A high school athlete who has trained as a man, but then transitions to a woman and immediately begins to compete against women, has a distinct physical advantage over the women s/he competes with.

Bunch of bullshit is what that is

I'd counter with a high school athlete who is a male, and trained with the females, would also have a distinct physical advantage over the other females they are competing against.

A male who takes hormones to become a woman will see physical changes, BUT that takes time and doesn’t eliminate the muscle fibers developed while a male.

So eventually everything must be accepted. After they force this to be accepted the next thing will be pedophilia. As predicted we will call what is good evil and what is evil good. Create a sporting competition for transgenders and let them go compete. We created boys sports and girls so what is one more? smh

IMO actions have consequences. If they want to “attempt” to change their sex that is their choice but the consequences of that decision are they don’t get to participate in gender segregated sports. Simple. No need to have a separate division or any of that

There is no guarantee that everybody gets to participate in everything

This includes any male that simply “identifies” as female. Doesn’t need to be transitioning. It is giving what has always been called transvestite a standing as a biological female.
Elections have consequences. Are you surprised?

Not surprised at all. Can't have an opposing view or you are part of the trump cult and must be silenced in the name of white supremacist. Not saying white supremacist do not exist but give me a break not every opposing view aligns with this.

 

[UAgrad93]

Shit ain’t right!!! I’d pull my daughter or pull my team if there were males competing as “transgender”. Absolute unfair advantage!!

Lmao, I need to learn Russian and leave this degenerate craphole.

In other words, as a couple of earlier posters have pointed out, erections have consequences.
