@suzianne saidNot even close, Suzie. you've been politically correct-ized.
I fail to see how transgender females who have finished their transition are fundamentally different from cisgender females. Hormone levels in their body are similar. And yet you would still "stomp on" their human rights.
Recently, the Journal of Medical Ethics published a study that directly counters an anti-science narrative that liberal elites have been pushing for years: that transgender men (sometimes called “transwomen&rdquo😉 and biological women are exactly the same.
This study concluded that transgender athletes born male have an “intolerable,” or overwhelming, advantage over biological women in athletic competition.
And the hormone levels are not the same, either.
But this is not about who has the more prepared body, it is about clear cut
pick-and-choose when the law will be upheld and when it will be ignored.
The law I refer to, is of course, gender discrimination.
Note, it is perfectly Okl to have boys and girls sports teams. So an admitted boy is not allowed to play on the girsl's team. That is gender discrimination and is *supposed* to be illegal,
But if a TRANS boy applies to the girls team, saying NO is gender discrimination and is not allowed.
Yet you and others just don't see the hypocrisy. amazing.,

The post that was quoted here has been removedYour posts assumes that all trans-female teen athletes take hormones.
Do you propose that only trans-girls who have taken hormone therapy be allowed to join girls' teams? What if a trans-girl isn't the allowed age to begin hormones? What if a trans-teen can't afford hormones, or lives in an area where such treatment isn't available, like Alabama, which recently made trans-therapy for teens a felony?
Furthermore, hormone therapy doesn't completely erase physical advantages. A basketball player may we weaker or slower after transitioning, but that doesn't mean their height advantage will go away, and they can still dominate average-sized girls. Trans-girls may be slower, but may still have longer strides, allowing them to cover more distance than average-sized girls. A larger body can give trans-girls advantages as a goaltender in football, a center in basketball, give reach-advantages in boxing, etc.
You have also failed to consider that not all trans-teens realize they want to transition at an early enough age to take hormones in time to compete. Coming to the realization that wants to transition comes at different ages or stages in life. A newly transitioned 17 yr old female may not have had enough time to take hormones that even-up her natural differences.
The list goes on. Therefore, it's *generally* not practical to allow trans-girls to compete with natural-born females.
The post that was quoted here has been removedYou responded to a reply I made to Earl when he said this:
"Now, is it legal or not to keep young men/boys off of so-called girl's soccer teams in schools?"
Note the topic of that post: youth sports.
When you responded to my reply regarding youth sports, isn't it reasonable to assume that's what you were referring to? Or are you just incapable of following a conservation that was only page long by that point?
Your long history of embarrassing yourself continues.
I started out with an "equal protection under the law" perspective. Other people have since changed the theme,
that's ok, it happens all the time. With that, I just wish to leave this little blurb that pertains to part of that which has been discussed here.
It concerns whether women-at-birth seem to mind if trans women compete with them or not.
At least one poster is insistent that nobody (virtually?) seems to mind.
"Many have continually flagged their concerns about transgender athletes competing in their sports, such as Martina Navratilova and Sharron Davies, namely around unfair physical advantages."
Those two are heavyweights in tennis and swimming, respectively.

Republicans are cancelling women’s rights in Arkansas. Slightly more serious than 6 Dr. Seus books. Where’s the right-wing uproar about this cancel culture?
And cisgender isn’t a thing.
What a stupid, made up, political correct bloody term. No wonder people are getting their knickers in a twist.
I drive a 4-wheeled car.
No. I drive a dcuking car. Just because some cars have 3 or 6 wheels, doesn’t mean I need to specify my bloody chassis basis (or whatever the hell it’s bloody called).
And the next person who says it’s not PC to say pregnant woman, but that it should be pregnant person, deserves a bloody smacking.
Also, saying pregnant woman deserves a smacking as well, because it’s a pleonasm (tautology).
Seriously. This world is getting flushed down the drain and all humanity does is bicker about terminology and sports.
Sports are games = fun.
Pumping billions into them and getting all fanatical is pathetic.
It’s not porn! It’s not the re-imagining of Battlestar Galactica. Get a bloody grip! It’s a couple of people kicking or throwing a ball around (or whatever they’re doing). And it would all be funnier if they did it naked.
And this whole trans issue about sporters just points out how silly it all is.
And I don’t care if you were a man, a woman, something in between or a 3-teated alien, Mike Tyson is still going to chew your ear off, spit it in the air and rape you.
God damn, you all piss me off.
And I’ve got to log into work and they’re all gonna piss me off too.
Perhaps this non-drinking malarkey is bringing out the worst in me.
And worst is the Dutch word for sausage. Which reminds me, I have some porn to watch. Better build up that wrist muscle whilst I still can.
