@Cliff-Mashburn saidPlay by the rules or don't play.
Got punished and disqualified, expelled from tournament.
Who do you side with?
She's certain to get a slew of appearances on Fox News and other right wing propaganda media; probably more important to her than competing in a minor sporting event.

@no1marauder saidTrump's executive order bans men from competing in women's sports.

Those are the rules now, it's the college that is breaking them.
@Cliff-Mashburn saidNot a college event. It was run by USA Fencing which has specific rules regarding transgender participation.https://www.usafencing.org/transgender-and-nonbinary-policy

@no1marauder saidTook place on University of Maryland campus, so they should lose their funding until they stop allowing it.

I read the USA Fencing policy you referenced, it's disgusting.

@no1marauder saidThis has nothing to do with fencing or any other sport, it's just common sense.

Don't you see that?
Plus all the garbage about the testosterone usage and hormone blockers has me wondering when did the USA Fencing organization become doctors?
@Cliff-Mashburn said"Common sense" doesn't tell you whether at least a year of hormone suppression treatments eliminates any advantage transgender women might have over cisgender ones in the sport of fencing.

The medical and scientific experts USA Fencing relied on might.
That determination should be done by the sports organization, not politicians.
@Cliff-Mashburn saidMany rules in sports. Rules are laid out before you sign up. Biggest question here is who should decide the rules?

I can't side with anyone on this as I've not a clue about fencing rules. It's not even a fun sport to watch.
Who's your favorite player Cliff?

Nobody better than Republicans to wave a shiny object and get the whole country to dive down a completely irrelevant rabbit-hole. 😆
Men's Sports: XY
Women's Sports: XX

@no1marauder saidCommon sense. I’d written this before. You are throwing this wonderful athlete who reaches for the stars under the bus. Her life forever tarnished. By Marauder. Where do you bent-minded people put your self-awarded gold stars?

@spruce112358 saidThis one says that ruining women’s sports as we have known them for hundreds of years , there’s nothing but a rabbit hole. Their lives are ruined, their lives are in a rabbit hole. Are you sure you want to share with marauder on this foolishness? Be your own man.

@wildgrass saidEasy one, wild grass. These rules, you speak of….. like marauder says if the rules depict in advance that men and women, then they should present the competition as such. It should be published at the outset. I can hardly sit here and say that should not be the case. It is America, have your competition. I would hope they would do that, and see how many women do not show up. It may end this holocaust.

I think this child says you looked on the Internet prior to the competition to see who all was playing, and this guy‘s name showed up. It was not presented this way a year ago when everyone was signing up for the competition.
