The largest college sports governing body in the country made the change following President Trump’s executive order banning trans girls from girls’ school sports.

    Taking hormones does not undo all of the benefits of male puberty body development. This is science that has been proven.

    You simply cannot say that no trans women has an advantage, it’s just false.

    Given that at least some have an unfair advantage, they should not be allowed to participate in a division created specifically to avoid having to compete against that advantage.

    It’s that simple.

      Are you going to acknowledge that was not the argument I was making?

      Apparently fairness is not as important to you on a personal level.

        The argument you made was that ALL trans women had to be better than Britney Griner for it to be unfair.

        I countered by saying if even a single trans women, because of their male puberty development, was better than Britney Griner then it would be unfair.

        The entire point of having a women’s league at all is to exclude men, specifically because their bodies are vastly stronger when comparing two of the peak athletes in that sport.

          I guess you’re just going to continue to lie about what argument I was making. So you don’t actually care about fairness at all.

              No, I am not removed. I’m am still here. (I would love to know what racial slur you said that got censored.)

              But you were still lying about the argument I was making and don’t seem to care.

                Lol, they’re censoring the small R word.

                If I’m not supposed to trust your argument in your original comment, then pray tell me what exactly is your arguement?

                  Oh I see, you’re not a racial bigot, you’re just an ableist bigot. Got it.

                  And maybe I will consider talking to you about my argument when you admit you don’t actually know.

                  I won’t be holding my breath, I’m sure you’re far too busy saying bigoted things about disabled people.

                    You provided an argument, I tore it down, and you moved the goalposts, and now you won’t even tell me where the goalposts are. Great conversation here.

                    At the end of the day, Trans women are going to get banned from competitive sport in the women’s divisions. Which is how it should be. I wish them well in everything else they want to do in life.
