This is like playing chess with a computer sat next to you, as some people do. It's fairly easy to convince yourself that you'd have seen all the best ideas anyway, but everybody else still knows you're a cheat.

As Sam Harris noted, with just a little time transgender women could hold most (all?) of the records for swimming. track and other sports where strength and endurance are in play.

Especially upper body strength.

I know we've had a few threads on this, so I randomly picked this one to continue. Lia Thomas (I think yesterday?) won the NCAA Division 1 national title in the 500m freestyle race. I can't help but think what his fellow swimmers thought after working so hard for so many years, only to lose to a male. There is no way this is sustainable, per kluurs' comment above.

I propose a new series of rules. If we can kick you in the nuts, then you can't be in women's sports. If I can't kick you in the nuts, but I could have 10 years ago, then you can't be in women's sports.
In fact, we should change the name of women's sports to "Have never been able to be kicked in the nuts league."

Hahahaha
You could also change it to "Would Jon hit it?"
Nevermind, that doesn't help at all.

I've got no problem with letting people live their lives as they see fit as long as it doesn't interfere with other people's rights to live their lives as they see fit.
This is interfering with these young ladies' lives.

There is just no way that “girl” isn’t a narcissistic sociopath. Every single trans woman who basks in the glory of winning these athletic competitions, will be one. Progressive pop culture hasn’t thought through very well the self selected group of people they are throwing their weight behind.

If the ERA becomes law you won't have to go the trans route.
Just beat them straight up, no hormones needed.

Is there any actual current rule that would limit a Lia Thomas sort to just identify as a woman and compete against women? Or is there some sort of rule, an accidental nod to reality, saying the trans woman has to have had hormones or a procedure?

I believe there is some kind of hormone limits. I heard an announcer mention something about that the other day. Apparently Mx Thomas followed the NCAA rules.
