This cruel, unnecessary and ridiculously timed culture war distraction sadly takes a lot of balls.

Laura,
I do agree with you to some extent.
All this constant talk of identity politics and tran stuff most likely had a major role in getting Trump elected.
Good job.
Democrats have you to thank.

Dude, this was literally a media-invented issue bearing ZERO impact other than displays of bigotry and medical ignorance.

How many litter boxes in schools later and you still believe "trans" was on everyone elses lips.

Dumping on the most vulnerable, hurting them and punishing their existence is the reward.

Congratulations, you people are morons. Officially.

Johnny Sokko and his Redlight Giant Robot is trying to gaslight and proclaim men and women are equal when it pertains to physicality. Nobody with a basic understanding of biology is buying the BS you are trying to sell.

I am proclaiming that you are a numbskull who is duped into group think.

A differentiation between mens and women's sports exist for a reason, Sokko.
It's called science in a general sense and biology in a more specific sense. Learn that and know it.

A specific sense of general biology in sports exists so morons can spout -----------.

Perhaps the definition of "differentiation" needs examination? This is a total ban based on -----------.

Red,
There's a difference between basing opinions on facts and basing opinions on feelings or emotions.
Much of the trans debate is driven by feelings. Let's be real...there is no compelling reason why trans women must compete against cis women in sports.
Actually, there is no compelling logical reason why they must use women's restrooms either.
These debates aren't being rooted in logic. They are being rooted in feelings.
The argument for excluding trans individuals from these spaces can be justified on biological grounds with many straightforward reasons.
But really, it's simple....weiner or no weiner.
What's unfortunate is how this issue has devolved into a black and white problem.
Trans for centuries quietly existed within society. But now they are being pushed into the spotlight as polarizing figures.

Biology first. How much hormone makes this or that? It's hotly debated, but not masterfully. Biology rooted in feeling..

So, in that regard I'd believe what that person feels is valid, but also what I feel about that person. Evaluation of their threat potential never comes immediately to mind. Why behavior based on shared biological belief that there is no threat unless their sexual identification doesn't match the expectation I generated without any prior knowledge?

Are you certain that feeling is biological and why resulting in anti-empathic behavior? We generally cooperate among many other, sometimes life-threatening situations down to mundane requests. What is triggering this antipathy? I do not believe it is biologically inclined, but rather behavioral programming.

Traditionally we have beloved moments of sexual mis-identification as points of humor and cultural sensitivity (Klinger, Jenner, Fudd), but something has changed more recently into a meanness and overt ugly attitude toward transgendered identification. Competition isn't limited by ball weight.

Games are rules can be changed to accommodate in whatever fashion.

The denial of personhood and self-identification is what is the problem. The peen are innocent.
