This whole thing is beyond silly. All you have to do is ask why there are separate leagues for men and women. That’s it. It’s not gender, truth, individual, happiness, identity, feelings…it’s simply because of cold, clear, biological differences.

Indeed. There are no lack of sports leaguers that separate athletes by age. Some sports, such as the martial arts, separate the athletes by weight class in addition to gender and age. So if a large enough portion of the world no longer wants to separate athletes by gender anymore, just find some other criteria to separate them so more people with different biological/physical characteristics can win — height, body weight, lung capacity, muscle mass to body fat ratio, whatever.

This is feeling more and more like the tipping point on the whole Trans issue. Public opinion seems to be swinging strongly back against TG athletes, which will put more pressure on the NCAA and other sports regulatory groups. There is also a lot more pushback with what parents are discovering has been going on in their kid’s school curriculum.
I see the NCAA and HS Athletics reversing course on the issue in the not too distant future. The question is how does the Trans community respond? If they react with the typical tantrum and threats that they’ve been known for, I think you’ll see a much larger public pushback and the community will lose many of the gains they have achieved over the last 10 years.

I've had similar thoughts, LuFin. The more annoying Liu Thomas stories emerge, the sooner the penny will drop. -
I agree that this collision was inevitably coming at some point. Young women are not going to take a back seat in cultural importance to anybody. They will gladly share spotlight with people of color or what have you, but don’t tread on their lawn. Trans women are attempting to test that theory. Good luck.

Now there is another facet to this… Trans rights have been able to get themselves embedded deeply in most PVG (Politicized Victims Groups). They have taken over most Pride Organizations and have sent many homosexuals running from the groups that they founded. They are also firmly embedded in BLM and pro-Trans policies are part of their demands and goals. Does public opinion sway enough that you see the gay and black communities pull back their support or even actively work against Trans Activism? I definitely think you’ll see that happen in the gay community…

We’re visiting The Wizarding World of Harry Potter in May. Karla’s already ordered a “This Witch Won’t Burn” shirt to wear in support of JK Rowling while at the park. That will be interesting…

Well the black community in general was never down with the gays anyway. It’s all been conveniently avoidable in the public discussion, but now that the occupants of the smoky room who ultimately generate the progressive identitarian agenda, our precious young white progressive women, are having to cede personal territory, sparks will fly.

A long time ago, when dinosaurs roamed the earth...The average distance from home plate to the wall (4 feet) in NCAA Women's Softball is 220 feet (around 210 at the poles and 230 in the LC power alley). In college, I jacked several softballs over the fence at 300-315 feet.
A homerun in women's softball would be a routine flyball for a man...

It would be the rational thing to do, even for a narcissistic sociopath. Maybe especially for a narcissistic sociopath.
But any argument for allowing trans women to compete with real women, based on some notion of "see, the trans women aren't winning anyway", will be wrong eventually if it's not wrong currently.
Education is extremely important.

Wait, that’s the new “Conservative Alternative YouTube”? That thing’s a hot mess…

Only if it’s comparing the size of their hands… (Michelle Obama beats them both).

Yeah, but her penis is bigger than Trump's, too.
