That’s basically where this would lead to if it keeps going. Then trannies will be on steroids and just wear wigs and dresses if they want to compete.

Interesting. That method can detect exogenous T, but also has a high false positive rate. I am surprised USPA uses it.
Maybe it comes down to the ratio they accept. Maybe 6 is pretty high.

Reorienting society for the good of a vanishingly small minority is not good, or noble, or smart. It’s just narcissism run amok.

The whole thing is so amazing.
Just think about this :
Modern feminists have been believing and pushing this propaganda that they are of total equals to males, in every aspect of life, only to now have bros decide to be women and start smashing their sporting records over night, being voted woman of the year after only being a woman for 6 months, and having their own small yet powerful vocal minority preventing otherwise respected, powerful women from speaking out against them.
Now tell me is that not the most epic fucking troll of all time???
I think you mean radical militant feminists. We don’t generalize from one man to the whole group, e.g. Trump expresses the feelings of all Republicans everywhere, who support him without reservation. Instead, we say Trump has a core following of like-minded Americans, while others supporting him do so only because they don’t want to cede control to the Democrats.
Most women I know would identify as feminists. I can’t think of any who wouldn’t agree that the sports situation is problematic, even if they support trans people in general.
Most people aren’t zealots.

It’s a bit of a conundrum. How should a feminist look at this? Is this unfair to biological females or are transgender women being treated unfairly here?
If there’s an advantage in track and field then strength sports are gonna have double that
For her sake let’s hope he’s not proportional relative to the rest of him.

Apparently there are some, there were women protesting the USAPL meet in Minnesota where that one guy was prevented from competing against the girls.
The left is about to implode on itself.
No doubt, but then I know many Christians - one close friend works for the Catholic church and one is a Baptist with an Air Force officer husband, so presumably both have a conservative bent - and none of them attend abortion protests. Extremists don’t represent the group entire.
This may be so. I wonder it about the right at this point, too. Hopefully the door will fully open soon for people not affiliated with either party to run for office and actually win.

It’s a definition game. To me, “feminists” mean equal rights. I’m certainly an equal rights feminist. I’m outnumbered 9:1 in my family, so I had best be.
Modern feminists (at least the loud ones) are more like “men are bad, evil, inferior, and masculinity is toxic, so men should be made second class citizens, or preferably replaced by technology.”

I’m calling “the loud ones” the radicals and militants. Would your daughters qualify as “modern feminists”? Of course, because they’re not the feminists of their mother’s generation. I can’t imagine that they’re of the “masculinity is toxic” mindset, though, because most women are not, just as most men don’t share @greenboy’s views.
It’s it’s a disservice to men and women alike to lump women who like men and who like sharing their worlds with them (fathers, sons, husbands, coworkers, the cop next door) with people who get a lot of press solely for their extremism.
As with so many negative outcomes, I blame the media for stirring the pot with trans athletes to the point that we have these absurd rules.
I think the solution would be to have all trans athletes, male and female alike, biologically or identified, compete together as a class.

Your solution is too logical. Someone would claim its discriminatory.
True, but they seem to want to represent the entire group and they are the ones getting all the attention. Like these types:
That’s the narrative being pushed by media and corporations. Like Gilette.
Maybe the reasonable women should distance themselves from anything that calls itself feminism. Just like the average Muslim would be wise not to mix up with ISIS an Al-Qaeda.
