Exactly. I'm still 10-plus years away from SS. If I "identify" as older than I really am, I should be able to get full SS benefits.

Normally I would be against this, but considering this will throw the SJWs in to a full meltdown when they continue to lose to males dressed as females, I'm all for it. Let them reap what they've sown.

I read what she said. I go by the consensus of the medical field that specializes in trans issues that were consulted by the NCAA that said one year hormone therapy is enough. The athletes are tested before hand to show their hormone levels in the range of a female in order to compete as a female. Also considering that of the girls in their youth that play sports through HS, less then 3 percent will be talented enough to compete in a Div 1 college program. The few cases I know of, the trans female athletes were only good enough to compete in a D3 program.

They're destroying sports scholarship opportunities for girls/young women. Dems' 'war on women' is in full-bore mode, now. How anyone can be a feminist and vote Dem is sheer hypocrisy and idiocy.

I have to hand it to the guy, I wish I would have thought of this. Of course, I would have prefered women's wrestling. Heck, anything that would get me in the women's shower would work.

No this will not destroy anyone's chance of getting a scholarship, and has nothing to do with politics.

Yes, it will. Girls/women are at a disadvantage competing athletically against biological/anatomical males no matter how psychologically/emotionally confused the latter may be.

I would think the girl that finished second in the 100 metre race, feels ripped off. The advantage boy/girl has, would probably be comparable to the best performance enhancing drugs.

Fairness is what seems to be lacking here -Yearwood's parents didn't seem to instill that in their youngster, and Coach Calhoun doesn't give a ****, as long as he's got a winner.

Nope, as another poster already pointed out, in the case of individual competition colleges look at times and marks, not where you finish. The athlete in question on this thread would not even be considered for a scholarship unless he starts the hormone therapy in his freshman or the summer between freshman and or early sophomore year.

As far as team sports again recruiters look at the individual skill set and not how well the team does. In many cases concerning women's team sports other then basketball, the most crucial aspect of impressing college coaches is the recruiting video submitted.

The whole point of the OP was to stress the point that the female athletes couldn't post times as fast as the male pretending to be a female.

The same is true in other sports. Physiologically, in general, males are bigger, stronger, have more lean muscle mass, have greater lung capacity, etc., than females. It's just scientific fact.

This push to "identify as any gender you wish and compete as such" will indeed rob female athletes of scholarship opportunities. It's the Dems' 'war on women' in full-bore mode.
