Does this mean you don't want comment on why anyone chose to vote?

 

[Bodi]

Nope.

Males compete against Males and Females compete against Females.

I'm a firm believer that every sport - yes every single one - should be co-ed.

Jesus **** this is so irrelevant right now. You people and your orange god are kneecapping America for at least one generation.

Let the athletes decide what is important for them.

 

[JMR]

This is not a "no ifs ands or buts" situation.

 

[Josie]

Let the athletes decide what is important for them.

Which ones?

It's about the kids, not who wins or loses.

Trans-females ARE females. No one will change sex just to take a few more track medals.

Athletes need to stop making excuses and step up to the competition. I've coached tons of girls that can beat the crap out of boys. Let's get on with it.

I am sort of curious whether there has actually been some sort of properly monitored polling of pro athletes on this topic? Frankly, until I saw your post, I hadn't thought of that before. Not that I have actually given this topic much thought at all. But your post . . . well, I'm repeating.

HEH, is there a trans-young? I'll promise to repeat all my same stupid mistakes when I was younger.

Thats fine for middle school intramural soccer. Not for competitive sports.

What about the people who had a Doctor arbitrarily assign a gender based upon outward appearance or the observed size of the clitoris and or penis?

On that note, what size is required to graduate from clitoris to penis?

I am unable to vote because there are so many examples where the distinction becomes blurry, and those blurry situations are far more common than most of those arguing this subject are willing to entertain


It is not a simple yes or no

Fans also get to decide

Yosha Iglesias Is the First Out Trans Woman to Become an International Chess Master

Iglesias is waiting on final approval of her title from the International Chess Federation, which released bizarre anti-trans rules last August.

www.them.us

When asked by the BBC for further explanation last year, a FIDE spokesperson said the organization would perform a “comprehensive analysis to understand the impact of various factors, including but not limited to, the role of testosterone levels, on chess performance.”

....Backlash to FIDE’s new regulations was swift and severe. .....

Apparently that was lost on some. Nonetheless funny as hell and very apropo!

No, I don't think the four trans people who play physical sports should play on womens' teams. But I would vote the opposite way if I were in Congress because the bigots who are making it their number 1 priority to humiliate and demonize trans people are a million times more dangerous to our country than trans people who play womens' sports.

Comment all you want. You just won't be able to see how each person voted.

The vote currently is 13 to 1..
Is there a mystery?

This is not a "no ifs ands or buts" situation.

I believe it is. There is really no grey in the question.

I chose not to hear, "if blah blah", "and blah blah", "but blah blah blah" and gum up the poll with speculation. The question stands as stated. You either think yes or no.

The Grey is in the premise not the question.

And there is a SHIT ton of grey in that premise

I think there are people who vote for a question a certain way because they know everyone will see how they vote and give them shit for it. Keeping it anonymous removes that equation. Personally, I think ALL polls should be anonymous, but that's just me.

Not really. The grey is CREATED not actual.
