Biden: Biological males can compete in female sports

In fairness to President Biden, what is the best solution? Where do you draw the line?
Please love yourself.

Why is the biological sex at birth not the obvious best solution?
Education is extremely important.

It really has to be. The whole WHOLE point of having separate sports is because of the physical differences between the biological sexes.

Then where do transgender people fit in? Denying the category is not going to get anyone anywhere; it's a non-option. Some rule's got to be made.

Honestly, either in their biological sex’s sport, or they’ve made a life decision that unfortunately places then into a sports gap in which there aren’t any leagues...yet.

That's what I'd suggest as well, but it will remain a socially insane suggestion until we get to the long list of inevitable problems that will come from the current rules.

I agree. In rare cases, the biological sex is ambiguous, but I’d say unless the person is unambiguously female, it needs to compete in male sports.

Exposure to testosterone during muscular and nervous system development.
They partition boxers by weight due to intrinsic performance advantages of different weight classes.
Development of musculature in the presence/absence of testosterone creates an expected performance difference across many sporting activities so it is plausible to similarly split competitors by this criteria. Current male/female division is a proxy for this.

Never mind all that shit. This is going to fucking ruin beach volleyball.

A bigger question... Why does Biden think he has that authority over private leagues, the NCAA, and state level school athletics...None of this falls into the domain of the Executive Office of the United States...

Where do they fit?
Competing as the gender they were born. This problem ain't rocket surgery.

There's really only two choices that make sense - either you insist on using the sex at birth, or you create new categories for transgender people. Unfortunately, neither of these options is going to be popular with some transgender people. On the other hand, transgender people insisting on being allowed to compete with other athletes of their declared gender is just going to increase anti-trans feelings amongst the rest of the population, and will ruin a number of sports.

I've seen gals compete in weight lifting who were on the juice. They do very well against females who aren't taking anything.
But they could not compete against males of the same weight.

Indeed, because the developmental period is key.

At the point you're talking about, the decision would be made by the parental units, not the child.
I think they call that child abuse.
