I do not really think that would solve "the problem". It's a culture war issue, designed to distract the gullible. You're basically asking sports to be divided out, like high school and college wrestling.This is why you make it divisions based on ability instead of sex/gender. And, if all that opponents say is true, that would cause most of the trans women to be in direct competition with cis men, and most of the cis women to still be in a division of their own. But no one can call sexual discrimination because it's not based on sex. And if a given cis woman can compete with cis men on a given level, then there is no reason not to let her.
I did say ability. beyond that it would need experts in the sports to determine that, and each sport would probably have different criteria.I do not really think that would solve "the problem".

How exactly would this work? Is it based on height, weight?
Did a quick search, no state has passed a law that would prosecute anyone for abortion but there are a few who are considering it.they would call the pro abortion crowd, murders.
I was speaking of what the religious people claim. Not the law.Did a quick search, no state has passed a law that would prosecute anyone for abortion but there are a few who are considering it.

Hormones can change the shape of their hips. It also changes the tilt of a persons hips, especially if they are started when the person is still growing.Ignoring the inconvenient facts of a different bone geometry and density. Hormones can suppress the rest, but the geometry of the hips are a fact.
No matter how absurd or irrational it may be.They're free to believe and claim what they want.
Calling a male a female is gaslightingNot sure that's the source of your confusion.
I love John Oliver. I do, he's great.
This is a tiny, tiny problem. Not to say it isn't important. But it affects maybe 50 kids.
This issue should be addressed by the rules committee of the sport. Just make a rule.
If you have a penis and testicles you can't play women's sports. Otherwise why have women's sports? Do we need to check every athlete's testosterone level before the kid plays JV basketball? It's crazy.
It is important to listen to both sides of the argument. Oliver is essentially arguing we should have debate based on good faith and being respectful.
Misgendering people, lying to the public, and telling erroneous stats isn't the way to go.
Would that be a transfemale or a cisgender male that you are referring to?Calling a male a female is gaslighting
When I refer to male or female it's strictly sex. I don't need to use the same words to describe something else because I'm not trying to lie about it.Would that be a transfemale or a cisgender male that you are referring to?
One of the main examples Oliver presented was a transgender girl playing on the girls softball team in Ohio. This girl never hit a home run before, and her own mother called her mediocre. It turns out that the Ohio legislative branch had a major problem with her playing on the softball team, and passed legislation, just to kick her off the team. Who actually wins here?
Won't stop MAGAs from believing misinformation and running around with their hair on fire over it.
So you are admitting that you willfully deny the facts of gender identity, which is hilariously ironic coming from a gay male. Why should anyone bother to reply to you when you publicly reject 70 years of medical science? Your arguments are no more absurd and denialist than creationists or flat-earthers.When I refer to male or female it's strictly sex. I don't need to use the same words to describe something else because I'm not trying to lie about it.
Not sure if I understand your point.Who's lying here? Oliver is basically asking us not to believe our lyn eyes; that the man we see is really a woman
There are no facts regarding this it's the equivalent to astrology.So you are admitting that you willfully deny the facts of gender identity,
Why does being gay mean you don't understand what male and female is I think you'd have to know that in order to be gay.which is hilariously ironic coming from a gay male.
It's as much science as astrology is. I think you respond to me because you are triggered I'm telling the truth and you know it and you don't like itWhy should anyone bother to reply to you when you publicly reject 70 years of medical science?
You're the one arguing that astrology is science.Your arguments are no more absurd and denialist than creationists or flat-earthers.
Maybe fewer girls want to play organized sports? Gymnastics is big for girls but it's almost all private gyms. The sport with the most injuries per participant is cheerleading. The USWNT turned soccer into a big deal for boys and girls. I watched a series on how the amazingly successful women's team was paid far less than the God-awful men's team. They went on strike. It was a huge deal.
I am not sure what you mean by ability.
Running
Swimming
Soccer
Tennis
Wrestling
Not only does gender identity exist, it can be imagined in our brains via an MRI scan.
Brain Scanning Shows That Gender and Sex Are Different

Or is it because this insanity is smashed into the LGBT whether they like it or not?

You're the one arguing that astrology is science.
As noted in the video, if your arguments are based on false and misleading information, it's not a productive debate or conversation.
The neurobiology is still very early and developing quickly. It does not say that gender identity does not exist.Your article does not appear to back what you claim:
<<<
Machine learning analyzed the results and while it could accurately predict the sex assigned at birth, it had a harder time determining gender.

I'll take a stab at the others, but boxing might be a real good example. Tell me, what is the difference between a women hit with 100 lb of force by another woman, and being hit with 100 ls of force by a man? Is there a difference? Does one's ability to withstand a given amount of force in a blow make a difference? Number is made up for example's sake, and if unrealistic, then substitute in any given reasonable number.
