What's further unfair is the girl that doesn't make the team because a "guy" is in her place. She wouldn't have a chance at making the Olympics or competing in other big events but just loves her sport. Now she sits.

The problem becomes how does society declare the transgender is a woman in all aspects of life, except when there is a ball and a game is being played?

Exactly. For whatever reason, there's a certain type of people that support men harming women so long as the men pretend to be women. Imagine how misogynistic you'd have to be to support men forcing women out of female sports.

The average man at 80 years old is stronger than the average woman at any age. Those who deny biology are as bad as flat earth types.

It's not a problem, you play along with the delusions of the trans person until those delusions harm others....you don't go past that point.

Trying to keep mentally ill people from harming themselves is noble, but not when it leads to the detriment of others.

We don’t. If a biological male wants to live his life as a women, fine with me but they are not biologically women and can never be so if they want to compete in sports they can compete against other bio males.

That's ridiculous.
Only women should be competing with women, not men pretending to be something they're not.
This is another ploy by the 1% nitwits to divide everyone else in the country - rather than looking at all the terrible things they keep doing.

frankly I don't care about their access to sports. If they are that into it, form their own division.

There are any number of categories to level the field and provide competitive opportunities. Adding another shouldn't cause any problems.

Lady golfer, Anna something, best lady golfer tried to compete on the men's tour and routinely came in dead last.

When/if the Dems lose in 22 & 24, their weakness on this issue will be part of the reason. A much bigger part than they want to admit. Then actual transphobes will be placed in legislative and judicial positions. Not reasonable people who simply oppose trans competing against females, or giving underage children inappropriate medication, who are currently falsely accused of "transphobia". And these actual bigots will enact laws that will violate and restrict real and legitimate civil liberties for trans and gays.

Biden ill serves his own interest and that of his party (and of actual trans rights in the long-term) when he just signs off on any bill placed in front of him without critically examining it or demanding refinement of certain points.

Dems need to realize something. Had the Repubs nominated a normal person back in 2016, we are most likely into a 2nd term of a conservative president. And despite all the ways that a normal repub president would differ from Trump, the right-wing judicial appointments would be identical to his picks. A fact that the increasingly reckless trans activists should be cognizant of as they push liberal politicians to take unreasonable positions
