    Such common sense to the LW would be called discrimination, separate but equal, blah blah blah.

    But still not equal as men transitioning into women will still have more testosterone output than women transitioning into men.

    My solution since women want to be equals is we merely break the gender barrier. Let women compete along side of men. That'll be entertaining for about a minute!

    "Hubbard has wracked up a ton of medals competing against women; and is now free to compete at the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo raising the ire of many female athletes."

    Well you'd have to have one for men pretending to be women and another for women pretending to be men and since it would get no interest or coverage why should the IOC and networks waste the money?

    Why don't they start their own Pretend Olympic Games?

    I agree.

    The "problem" with this solution is that it'll force progressives to admit that men cannot be women, that "man" and "woman" are not social constructs, that there are biological differences between men and women.

    @Pipette8 I think sociopath is the term you're looking for, and indeed, a man larping as a woman and crushing the dreams of biological women in competition must have a touch of sociopathy, or legitimate narcissism at least.

    No, why do we reward crazy behavior? If these confused dudes want to compete in a transgenders events, then we dont call them she. We get to call them confused men.

    How about we give them all a chromosome test and let that decide?

    Why not just recognize the absurdity of the situation and competition is in your birth gender only. If you ain't born a woman or a man then you ain't and that's the reality.

    But then there has be a competition for "trans racial" and the "trans species" ad infinitum. I think it would be better to abandon this whole trans anything nonsense all together. Why let a small group of mentally ill people force us to jump through all these hoops to placate them? We should redirect our energies to get them the mental help they need.

    I don't think the track runner is both. Just has a high level of natural testosterone as a female.

    I’m constantly called a “lefty” “socialist” and “communist” and am against transgenders in competition against the sex they are transitioning to. They should either compete against other transgenders or against their birth sex.

    I fully support their ability to transition if they choose to do so and they should be treated with respect unless the individual warrants otherwise but it should stop at that.

    Personnaly, I'm tired of fighting leftist crap.

    Furthermore, on that specific issue, leftists are infighting, so I think it's funny.

    They are having a mental breakdown, because they don't know who to support, wahmen or transexuels. Furthermore, they probably don't want to enter in open conflict with LGBTQ+ lobby, since the big bad wolf is the white men.

    They don't know how to respond to this situation so they conveniently ignore this topic. If i were a feminist and didn't want to get stumped on this topic I'd simply say "this isn't a beauty contest and has to do with gender based genetic advantages", OR, this just shouldn't happen in the first place...that person should be competing in M to F trans only competitions or the men's competition.

    I'm glad there's finally push back. I'm a strong advocate of trans-rights, but this issue is ridiculous. We can't all have everything we want. Play the hand you were dealt. I wish I was a master Chef, but I'm not, and I don't expect James Beard to give me an award based on my wish.

    Is it bad that I'm laughing at this?

    I'm laughing because we as a society actually have this problem in the first place because we've been bullied into accepting this as ok and people in positions of power don't have enough common sense or courage to stand up and say no this is dumb.

    Oftentimes the most common sense easy solution is the best. What got ourselves to this point by thinking WAY TOO MUCH about this sort of thing. The question was asked at some point in society about transgender inclusion in sports and a round table discussion was conducted and we talked about morality, equality, emotions, etc.

    Here is the correct way this whole discussion should have came about in society.

    "Should girls who used to be guys be able to compete with girls?"
    "No, because that is stupid"

    The end.

    But we as a modern society are just way too intelligent to come to such barbaric rational conclusions like that. So, I laugh.
