Has California found the solution to trans athletes?

California recently changed rules regarding how trans and cis women are placed, essentially having two categories of placement.

Badically, cisgender girls, if beaten by a transgender girl, will place how they would have done if the trans girl wasn't competing.

So if the results are:
1st: trans
2nd: cis
3rd: cis

They will be classified:

Joint 1st: trans & cis who originally finished 2nd
2nd: cis who originally finished 3rd
3rd: cis who originally finished 4th

Under this system, no cis girl will lose a place or qualification to a trans girl while still allowing trans girls to compete.

This seems a workable solution for individual events, though not sure how it could be applied to team events, and of course safety in high impact sports still needs to be prioritised.
Seems like it works well for individual events/sports. Not sure how you do that in team sports or things like relay
 
Born female, will compete as female, for the transgender guys?




What bathrooms and such do you think trans females have been using since the 1950s, or didn't you know that they exists before 2015? This entire controversy is manufactured nonsense to appear to socially conservative bigots in the GOP.
Sure, why not. They don’t have a biological advantage. Which is the problem with letting males compete against females.
 
There are not enough trans people for their own sports leagues. That is an absurd idea. This was not even a problem w until the GOP manufactured one as a way to pander to ignorant bigots on the right. We need to stop manufacturing outrage and tell the bigots to pound sand because this is an issue that they still do not understand but somehow they are outraged about it.
Is see you are starting to copy the lies from j brown’s body.
The history of Renee Richard proves you claim to be complete bs.

But who knows. Every time I ask him to back this claim up he runs away. Maybe you will have more luck. But I doubt it.
 
Did you happen to remember that transgender people have equal right to compete, despite their very small demographics? You want to do everything possible to erase them, but that idea is not legally permissible.

The SCOTUS has previously ruled that separate but equal is not constitutionally permissible.
You do realize that equal rights means they don’t get to compete in female sports any more then any other male right.
What you really want is special treatment.

I did not lie when I pointed out that professional and amateur sports are different, and in amateur sports, transgenders have participating for years without a problem.

Funny how after repeating the same lie over and over in thread after thread you want to pretend you were only talking about amateur sports.
I would say this would cost you some credibility but you would have had to some in the first place and you lost that long ago.

I'm sorry you're incapable of addressing my arguments thoughtfully and have to resort to personal attacks, but that's you're problem, not mine. 😀

You have been spewing that lie in thread after thread and you continue to run away from it every time you are called on to back it up.
So why pretend otherwise now.
 
This is a good solution for individual sports in schools. Essentially there is a transgender league; but lacking for players, so results in that league are reported as an index relative to the cisgender players.

Nonetheless, there are sports where this solution may be seen as insufficient: boxing, basketball. If players directly interact then there are not two leagues with independent scoring. This is particularly relevant once money gets involved.

Additionally, private sports matches may not want to invest in a parallel transgender infrastructure. Whatever one thinks of it, they are not currently required to be full service for everybody: the NBA doesn't pay the WNBA to keep the salaries the same.

The more power is allowed to the officials holding the matches and operating the leagues, the more sports can attempt to react to this situation in ways that are appropriate to their own peculiarities. There are many solutions we aren't considering (most of which are probably impossible or silly, but who knows?).

Your anger and bluster are not impressive. Try again with more facts and less anger.
 
The solution is to just let them ****ing play lol.

If the trans athlete loses, do we still go through this stupid rigmarole?

Awww the typical deflection when you have no real argument. How pathetic.
Tell me do you really think this fools anyone.

And the fact that you just ignored my posts calling out your lies isn’t helping your case.

Yes why should we care that people with massive biological advantages are competing in leagues that were specifically set up for females.
They should just be quiet and be happy we let them play at all.

I like the one where they accuse you of being sexually attracted to trans people.
Tell me do you really think this fools anyone.
Honestly I think it's cope.

You have to accept her beliefs and her dogma about gender identity and if you don't you're a bigot.

Imagine if Catholics did that. If you don't say the rosary you're a bigot.

You made this argument that trans guys were harassing you. Its not me.

There are not my dogma and beliefs.

That has a name. Its called Protestants.
 
I didn't say y that. Did support conversion therapy because they want men to be attracted to women.

Trans guys do not support conversion therapy. They arent women, despite your inability to understand gender or your transphobia.
That doesn't make any sense.
The vast majority of Protestants do not say that Rosary. That's a Catholic thing.
 
They get the awards, medals, places as well.

So if a transwoman finishes 1st, and a cis woman 2nd, they both place 1st and both get the gold medal.

As someone generally opposed to male puberty transwomen competing in female sport, this is a solution that I'm okay with. It allows those transwomen to compete competitively without cis women losing out.

So if they would be able to get awards and the accolades anyways, what's the point in the competition?
