Regrettably, I believe herding cats would be easier.
But I sure wish that they would come together and stand up for their rights!

Yeah - he clearly wouldn’t have a higher power output due to his significantly larger/longer legs…
I think most women underestimate the male drive to win…even if that means bending the rules (bending because in this case it’s not actually breaking the rules of the specific competition)

This is the significance of Title IX that most of you have no first hand observation.
From 1954 through 1970 I never attended a school that had competitive women’s sports.
There was no women’s tennis, basketball, soccer, swimming, softball. There were no women with sports scholarships attending college where I went, nor anywhere else in the conference (that I know of).

After hearing how they speak on the subject, I would say they feel like they deserve it. That’s why no argument in the world will ever change their minds. What’s fair is irrelevant when it’s about entitlement.

Its never about the spirit of competition or fair play.
Its always a victory for trans/lgbtq cause or acceptance or what ever.

They might not think of that specifically but they do acknowledge that males are competitive by nature, and of course that’s toxic masculinity, which is why schools are working on deemphasizing competition, for example how they are changing how grades work, in the name of equity. Competitiveness is even considered a form of white supremacy.

Do they feel like they deserve it athletically or do they feel like they “deserve” it because they’re part of an oppressed, victim class?
They feel like they deserve it because they can’t win against their own biological gender, therefore they are cheaters…they want the trophy
no different than someone cheating on their scorecard in your golf score to win a local charity golf tourny and getting a trophy
Cowards they are

Let me give the trans woman the benefit of the doubt.
Women are welcoming you (trannies) in (by their silence if nothing else.) How about a little consideration and not spit in their faces by invading their sports with your biological advantage?
Are they willfully taking advantage of their biological advantage or just plain stupid (and need to be educated.)

Sorry, i don’t give them the benefit of the doubt
they know exactley what they are doing and they don’t care how it is affecting everything that women worked so hard for
compete against your own or fight to start up a tranny league…leave the women or girl sports alone

I’m not sure I understand this headline, the ‘towers over 2nd/3rd’ part. Are they also going to acknowledge that second place towers over third place, because that’s how podiums work?
I mean, I don’t agree with trans-folk competing in womens’ divisions of anything. But what a ridiculous fucking headline.

Interesting story here. (Sorry for reposting if it’s been posted above. This thread is 
.)
This brings up another compounding issue: Some team-sport female athletes think it’s unfair, but as long as the male is helping THEM win, they like it or at least stay silent.
I recall a story of a women’s junior college basketball team. Some of the girls on the same team with a biological male thought it was unfair. After all, who always got the ball? Probably the 6’4" 220 pound gal.
They said anonymously that the coach loved it because (surprise) they were winning more games. The coach probably doesn’t buy into trans ideology, but he sure likes winning.

And these individuals are also cowards, they are contributing to the erasing of women
the girls don’t realize how this will affect them in the future

I think we all are. Men have to step up too. Time to put our money where our mouth is and stop competing in or supporting organizations where this stuff allowed. Do we value truth or participating in a sport?
Now, I don’t believe it would ever happen. Most people don’t care as long as it doesn’t directly effect them.

Haha that’s a good point!
It’s a typically click bait headline for sure.
It’s The Second Coming (Yeats):
the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

Of course it’s the end of female powerlifting. The moment they let men compete in costume, co-Ed powerlifting became the game.

That’s part of it. Another part is that they are special, so special they can defy biology and reality. Then add in that they have an unhealthy need for attention.
