Lesser competition? Whoa there! We've been beat over the head for decades with the mantra that women are just as capable as men physically! Are you now saying they are NOT?

These guys don’t have to cut anything off to compete. If the Equality Act passes, they won’t even need to be on hormones to compete. They already don’t have to in Connecticut for high school sports, where two guys who wear makeup are dominating in track and field competitions. You may not care, but girls who worked their whole lives to compete do care because it’s blatantly unfair.

It's not about who is watching, it's about the competition.

If they identify as women, they're women. Case closed. Equality for all!

I can't imagine why a man would want to become a eunuch. I don't really care either.

You would care if you had a daughter or sister competing in track against men who claim to be women.

I'm physically good.... but no athlete. It wouldn't be fair for me to compete in Special Olympics.
What you just said is sexist by new emerging standards. You claimed their are genetic differences between men and women on average that leads to different results.

I've had students tell me that claiming men have higher levels of testosterone on average and testosterone has implications on muscle and spatial recognition on the brain is BS. Men average more muscle, because society tells men to exercise more is their rationale.

Somebody made the comment in an illegal immigration thread that liberals are about emotion, and conservatives consider all the implications of an issue. Re: illegal immigration I agree with that assessment. As it relates to men competing with women, I also agree. Agenda-driven-insanity is not a good national policy justification. About illegals. Or sports. Or a whole host of other issues that are dominating conversations in 2019.
