GOP lawmaker left speechless when asked if he's trans during a hearing
  • I'm genuinely asking. On its face it seems unfair but I also don't understand public schools'obsession with sports that seems to be made worse by the cost of college and sports also being tied to that. At the same time I also know that anything the GOP is throwing a bitch fit about is guaranteed to be a bunch of bullshit. I usually watch John Oliver regularly but I've fallen behind this season. I appreciate the link and I'll give it a watch.

  • I'm not sure what the argument is here. Obviously genetics make a difference but other men were competitive. If we were to allow Phelps to swim against the women that would not be the case but you seem to be insisting that none of it is fair because we aren't all clones so who cares about the rules at all and that doesn't work

  • I think you're being a little dramatic. I understand if you personally don't care about the rules but I have to imagine no one is saying it should just be an absolute free for all. Again I don't understand why we link school and sports but we do and for that reason it means a lot to some and nothing to others. I'm completely down for a free for all in professional sports.

  • I agree with what you're saying but I also don't think it has to come to that. I guess my point is that if we don't make some attempt to set a standard then we are allowing literally anything. I don't honestly care for sports being tied to school in the first place but are we saying that anyone can claim to be trans and join the other team at any time because we're all too afraid to talk about it or what? If that's the case then it seems like we should just do a way with gender in sports completely.

  • So in college sports the performance gap is larger and should be considered or no? I also find this hard to believe even at a highschool level. While I was in highschool the advantages of testosterone were very obvious. If it were really the case that it makes little to no difference then shouldn't the argument be to remove gender from sports all together?
