Women's Sports Are Done....

[seanD]

If you are right, then Lia Thomas will transition back to a man after she's through beating women in sports competition. (Having been banned from the Olympics, that might not take too long.)

I could certainly be wrong, but I doubt that she will transition back. And even if she does, that doesn't say anything about other transgender women.

He doesn't have to "transition" back. He likes the fact his lunacy is celebrated, and now that fact is accentuated even more that he can play the victim, and quite possibly get rich off a GoFundMe campaign.

I'll be surprised if "the most controversial athlete in America" (per Sports Illustrated) is going to get a lot of business opportunities and cash because of that decision.

I wouldn't be so sure. Depends on the individual company. And, it depends on how much or long of a stir Lia thought this would cause.
Lia also admitted to aiming for the Olympics. (Not a surprising admission, as its a fairly common goal). Right up until this week, that was a solid possibility in women's sports, and a distant dream in men's. This all goes back to my point. They chose the "side" that was more likely to help them achieve thier goals.
Just because the international organization has NOW shut the door on them, doesn't change what the decision looked like when it was made.

Yeah. I heard Colin Kaepernick is homeless living in a cardboard box as he counts the $61 million he collected from Nike.

A biologically male human can have a female gender. (i.e. be a woman)
They aren't pretending to have a female gender (in general; maybe there are some exceptions).


While you are at it, you should complain that homosexuals don't seem very gay to you. Some of them seem downright depressed.

False. If a human organism is biologically male (which is to say its gender is male) then it can not be biologically female (which is to say its gender is female). It is a literal impossibility. A man can not be a woman any more than he can be a cat, or a dog, or a Corvette. Science really doesn't get much more settled than that.

But if you've always dreamed of being a dolphin and you have the money and know an unscrupulous surgeon you can be one!

Define woman...

It also relies on hindsight being 20/20. "The situation NOW is bad, therefore the person's decision THEN couldn't have been made considering the current situation would be different". I mean, if that was the case, we'd all be rich on the stock market, because we'd never make bad decisions based on assumptions of the future.

So I guess we're stuck trying to read Lia's mind.

All you are demonstrating is that you refuse to understand what gender is.

Or we could trust the science - "she" is still a man.

I think we've been through that.

Trying to separate gender from biology is nothing more than an Orwellian rhetorical trick employed by liberals in their attempts to normalize deviancy. It's as abusurd as trying to separate ones age from their chonology.

[Cow Poke]

I think we've been through that.

You're a biologist?

[Cow Poke]

All you are demonstrating is that you refuse to understand what gender is.

A male or female (biologically) can have female or male or both gender (only two) characteristics, but a biological male is still a biological male, even if he's a total sissy.

[Stoic]

Or we could trust the science

I think that's a good idea.

- "she" is still a man.

I think you may be in for a disappointment.
