Joe Biden’s First Day Began the End of Girls’ Sports

If the argument is that women's sport is doomed then the frequency of the problem certainly matters.

This is so wrong in many levels. Now the tag deranged previous president looks to me more of a fit in the office.

Remember the female power lifter who broke four world records by landslide in official power lifting. Her name is Mary Gregory. Before she was he. This alone should say it enough.

Men and women never have the same strength in terms of physical ability.

I just don't believe that many of those who are outraged about this really care about women's sports. Seems more about trying to fight a culture war and exploiting this obviously difficult issue in order to do so.

Then again, i can only presume you're in the same mind as QE2 on this that the author is not but an unreconstructed 'transphobe' for airing her opinion on said matter or?

"naught but..."

This is precisely what it is about. The people faux-outraged about this are often also outraged about things like BLM, Antifa, The Left, Remainers, Corbyn, immigration, refugees, foreign aid, etc, etc.

Stripped of her title for falsely claiming to be female when actually still a male under competition rules.

That wasnt quite the point i was making but either way. Going by the current fad for transitioning, especially within the US, its hard to say its an insignificant number. As the author outlines quite succinctly in her book on the matter, as it happens.

If you think there are enough numbers to make this issue significant then by all means provide them. At the moment only about 5 examples have been given in this thread.

I don't care whether the author is a transphobe or not. It has no relevance to the argument.

I have already stated my position and referenced the book on the matter. However, you have yet to answer the question as to why numbers are important going in one direction but irrelevant when going in the other?

I rather doubt it but either way i'm pretty sure basing an argument on an ad hominem is relevant...

I know what your position is, I am asking for evidence that justifies it. Have you read that book that you're referring to?

I'm not sure what 'other direction' you're talking about, so I can't answer that question. I'm not sure what this has to do with the claim that women's sports is doomed.

What ad hominem have I used in my argument?

Is that a serious question or do you really think i would reference something i never bothered to read myself?

If you, or anyone for that matter, used the argument that you can ignore a minorities complaint (whatever minority or complaint it may be) because "there arent many of them" or instances of whichever issue occurring, what do you think the response would be? One imagines somewhat less than good.
Nothing much, it was a tangent that came up. Threads not having to stay solidly on the title - womens sports, in of themselves, being of less interest to me than the principle here. Hence my including another link as well.

I didnt say you had, i said QE2 had and then asked if you were subscribing to their argument.

Interesting view to take, weren't you recently going on about trans people being whatever gender they've elected to identify with and this being an immutable fact? Now you're saying that their chosen identify is in fact a falsehood? Very interesting. How do you square these two mutually exclusive views exactly? Or is it simply this particular transgendered person you think is faking it?

1. "for falsely claiming to be female when actually still a male under competition rules"
2. My views on gender definitions are completely irrelevant to the rules of particular sporting governing bodies.
Hopefully, that should make it a bit easier for you to understand. (not holding my breath though)

The fact that a singe cis-female managed to out compete her does not prove that it was unfair for the many other cis-females.

2 of these "women" came out of nowhere to take top level titles. But sure "reactionary nonsense" it is...

5) There are numerous other examples such as Andraya Yearwood and Laurel Hubbard. The former came first place repeatedly and the latter won a gold medal....

In order to delegitimize a POV you are opposed to, you're making wild assumptions and generalizations. There's no correlation between wanting people to compete with the gender you are assigned at birth with and the 8 random categories you just listed. In fact out of those 8, I can't see a single one I'd be "outraged" about.

I didnt say you had, i said QE2 had and then asked if you were subscribing to their argument.

Are you attempting to make some form of point here?

Although that really is a most amusing, if disparate and eclectic, grouping you've mustered up there.

Hey you're the one who cited an example of, of all things, a sporting body stating categorically that somebodies self definition is an irrelevance. Not exactly a nice shout of support for your position if even sporting bodies don't agree with you . Cute little insult at the end though, more than slightly hypocritical given your own little problem with comprehension..
