    seems weird to set a age

    but to be fair, some woman are born with better dna, is that unfair too, should they be excluded?

    Did a big bully girl beat you up when you were little? I'm trying to figure out why you are so resistant to understanding basic science between genders.

    I am just trying to figure out why you don't think some women's dna makes them stronger than other women, that is basic science

    we were not talking about men vs woman there, but yes, some men's dna gives them advantages over some women too

    really not sure why you don't get that?

    and why do you support those that had a sex change under 12 playing women's sports? you disagree with me that setting that age is weird?

    I really don't know the point you are trying to make about genetics, so its not that I disagree with you... I don't know what your stance is and what point you are trying to make.

    I do agree the 12 age thing is weird and would hope eventually it's uniform from adult to children.

    I do not think the other poster really disagreed with me either, that was the point of the reply

    as for DNA, if we are gonna ban men playing on women's teams due to the genetic advantages... which I agree with banning them, as I agree there is a genetic advantage in some sports

    then it also brings up a topic about women's DNA that give them an advantage or men's DNA that gives them an advantage - should other players be able to take drugs that replicate those advantages? what if they took those drugs before age 12?

    let's give an example, a woman, takes a drug to make her more man like... should she be able to compete on the woman's team?

    she is still a woman, right?

    what if her DNA was naturally that way? does it still give her an unfair advantage?

    Precisely. No doubt the moronic Megan Rapinoe has her knickers in a twist over this ruling, despite having clearly demonstrated womens' physical deficiencies when compared to men:

    In preparation for two upcoming friendlies against Russia, the U.S. women’s national team played the FC Dallas U-15 boys academy team on Sunday and fell 5-2, according to FC Dallas’ official website.

    U-15 stands for Under 15. A team of adult professionals beaten by 13 & 14 year-old boys. Anyone advocating for MEN like Lia Thomas mopping the floor with legit women have their heads so far up their rectums they're choking on their own ****.

    Clearly, we can see the failure of the women's equality movement. How do you know they didn't let the boys win?

    that was when this started, with girls wanting to play on boys teams, back then it seems logical as the school did not have girls teams - but then it morphed out of control over time, men wanting to be on the women's team made it weird

    There once was a movement of banning discrimination in society but we are seeing those in charge going back to discrimination...See, you are not a stupid as the other poster claim you is.

    I think you are kind of stuck with the genetic lottery you win / lose. Some people are born tall, some short, etc... Make the best with what you are born with. Not everyone can be the best at what they do, and switching your gender to get a better chance isn't appropriate imo. It's like an athlete deciding to compete with 80 year olds instead of 20 year olds because they can't keep up with their peers in competition

    I disagree on the age thing as well.

    Women as a whole are weaker and smaller than men. Some women are stronger than other women just like some men are stronger than other men. However, those weaker women are capable of getting as strong as the stronger women but are NOT capable of becoming as strong as the stronger men. Not everyone is cut out for sports.

    Anyone who has a sex change before the age of 12 is the victim of absolutely horrific child abuse.

    yep, as long as the 80 year old on performance enhancing drugs loses, no one notices, but if he starts winning, ban the performance enhancing drugs

    sounds like we agree then, no girl bully beating us up needed ;)

    I agree, some are born with better genetics for sports, drugs can even those odds, but many are outlawed as well

    seems weird to me a girl can take steroids to be more man like... but a boy can't take steroids to be more man like

    both are the same, one is seen by some as making one normal, the other is seen as making one better than normal and that is seen as unfair

    everything can go too far, we need to ban discrimination in society, but it can go too far for sure

    those that supported discrimination used to own slaves and treat women like property, that was too far in the other direction

    see, that just makes it weird

    to me that is the sign of a narcissism, that doesn't care what others think, as long as they get what they want - just my opinion anyway

    narcissism is becoming more an issue in our society as of late, maybe the standard American diet it to blame - not eating enough real meat and vegetables - too many processed carbs and seed oils

    Ok, I'll play. When is a woman allowed to take steroids to be more man like?

    when they transition from girl to boy, so why can't a boy take the same drugs as the girl did? To become more masculine as well?

    why would society deny one and allow the other, make no sense

    we are not even consistent as a society
