@spruce112358 saidTheoretically speaking, genotype segregation is more/less impossible. Is it discriminatory to segregate athletes by phenotype?
And yet that is the question. π
@wildgrass saidGenotype segregation is perfectly feasible - the UN rapporteur suggested the very thing. You pre-clear athletes with cheek swab during their required physical which they have to have before they compete anyway. Would only need to be referenced in the 0.0001% of cases where there is doubt. π

Today, this can be done with zero inconvenience, completely privately and without fuss or publicity.
UNLESS it is deemed discriminatory to segregate athletes by genotype. That's the only hurdle. Hence the Main Question. π
@spruce112358 saidOh yo mean chromosomes.

@wildgrass saidDisagreement over phenotype is the problem.

"You look like a guy!"
"No, I'm not!" etc. π
@spruce112358 saidI'm old enough to remember in the 90s they got rid of barr body chromosome testing for this exact reason.

@wildgrass saidEssentially that is just saying transgender women should be barred from competitions even if there is little evidence that transgender athletes have any unfair competitive advantage over cisgender athletes. It would also bar those with Swyer syndrome even though they have from birth a vagina, ovaries and a uterus.
Oh yo mean chromosomes.
Why should such blatant discrimination be allowed?

Thumbsπ? This video is made by a gay lgbtq doctor with a scientific background giving an objective, non biased assessment with facts. It’s reality not agenda based, as it should be!

@no1marauder saidIt was not about following the rules. Please reread the question, everyone else seems to understand these questions. Please reread the question. I think it is just one sentence. Has nothing to do with rules, Trump environment, blacks Cubans tranees Englishmen authorities… None of that. Please reread the question and answer and I hate to tell you, it only calls for a yes, or a no.
Of course I said no such thing, but you lying about my positions and claiming I didn't answer a question I obviously did is SOP for you.
I said follow the rules.
It is very telling that you will not answer this question. Very telling indeed.. If anybody walks up to the table yo get in, you have to say based on your four months of logic, that they should be allowed to get in. You would hardly make distinctions about someone’s class or race or sex. Can they Enter or not?
Rules???! Follow me here, it is nothing about any rules. The girls swimming at the park swimming pool are just having a race. And a person walks up, any person you can think of it could be a male or a female, of course, but that goes without saying. The girls only just met two hours ago and thought hey y’all let’s have a race. I can’t think of any rules. Why don’t you give us an example of a damn rule.
@wildgrass saidTests have improved since then. We can make the tests as exact as we please these days. π
I'm old enough to remember in the 90s they got rid of barr body chromosome testing for this exact reason.
But testing accuracy is not the main issue.
IS segregation by genotype discriminatory and if so, why? And then why is phenotypic segregation (with the attendant arguing and hoopla and lawsuits) better? π
@spruce112358 saidThey did not get rid of barr body testing because of accuracy issues.

@spruce112358 saidThe only single example that has been discussed on this forum is Lia Thomas. Are there any other examples in recent history that could be resolved by barr body test?

Your analogies are all stupid.

Sorry you're too stupid to understand what "play by the rules" means.
And I never, absolutely never, took the position you keep dishonestly saying I did, so try to stop with the lies for a change.
@mike69 saidWe're so used to getting agenda-based tripe from you people, no one looks at it anymore.

I didn't waste my time either.
@Mott-The-Hoople saidThere aren't any men in women's sports now, jackass.
So the rule is, no men in women’s sports per executive order from Trump. Thx for clearing that up
