New EO regarding gender identity jeopardizes female sports

Just have 3 categories.

Biological female sports

Biological male sports

Trans sports.


Schools will have trouble funding it and since trans is a small population, the competing events will be small with some events having no competitors.

Lack of a following could be a problem too.

IMO, that is a perfect solution.

Nope. It’s sexist see. When you tell a boy that identifies as a girl that he can’t play in girls’ sports even though he wants to really badly, it’s sexist.

Joe a Biden said so. C’mon Man

My personal opinion is that I don't think this would be a bad move AT ALL.

Edit to add: As a matter of fact I think it would garner more numbers of trans, non-binary, cis men and women to try sports at a younger age and can help them with many of the social issues that they go through their child/youth years.

You don't get it. It's not about the numbers. It is about the individual female faced with it. If you were that one individual female, it's a damn big deal, especially where scholarships and potential offers are concerned. Sheeesh!

I get what you are saying I just disagree with it. Is that hard for you to understand? Do we all have to be an echo chamber of each other here?

Hey it’s just social engineering at it’s finest.

What’s the big deal?

Nope. You're right. We don't. I bet you don't have a daughter that has worked her ass off all through school winning medal after medal and suddenly in her junior or senior year, she's faced with competing against a guy that identifies as a female and has skills to match.

Or just make a decision:

Which is more important to you as a transperson - forcing your outer self to conform to your inner belief or competition?

We all compete with the machinery we were born with. It's the point of competition in the serious levels. You hone the tools you were born with and we divide into male and female biological categories.

A transperson who wants to seriously compete can still dress female, but might have to compete male and be an unaltered physical male for competition purposes.

If they want to go both, then that's what co-ed rec sports are for where you have male/female teams in things like volleyball and softball.

So which is it?

Well if you really want to get into the nitty-gritty of my reply..

Yes, I think "men" competing in some women's sport is bs, they have an advantage that makes it unfair.

But.....it's school sports. I know you Americans take your sports real serious and all...even to the point where you can use your educational institute to advance your athletic ambitions or use your physical abilities to advance your education.

But I will never understand how somebody can get a scholarship because they can throw or catch a ball better than somebody else. Sport, although important for education, is not a primary objective of education.

How long were u at judo?

I used to practice as well. When you havent reached puperty it isnt really an issue. Its when the hormones kick in that the notable diffrences in biology starts to show.

Granted i used to get my ass kicked when i hadn't developed. That changed as I got older.

I thought we were talking about the age when kids/teens (i cant believe im typing that) want to transition from one gender to the other. Im praying to god that isnt happening at the age of 5.

And the reason both genders practice together when they are so young is because the diffrences between the sex's really doesn't become noticable until they get older.

same thing with blacks in the military. All had "World Ending" type narratives attached to it by some on the right and yet we still are here and the world has not come to end.

Could you provide a source for this claim?

With all due respect...I'm pretty sure that if my daughter was ever in that situation she would take it very differently than maybe yours...given our arguments we have probably raised families very differently.

a reply to: samuelsson

I played national level in my country..used to practice 3 hours a day/ 5 times a week

Quit when I was about 25.

But with Judo it really comes down to your technique. I dropped guys twice my weight and twice as strong and had my arm dislocated by a tiny 120pound shorty....really fast shorty though...lol

I'll admit I have no idea about other sports and what the difference between male/female is in overall results but I can imagine there are plenty of sports where this makes a huge difference. 100m dash comes to mind, where the win comes down to 1/100 of seconds...

Yeah.. maybe shed get her skull crushed like a woman did fighting against a biological male pretending he was a she.. i bet youd be super proud that she didnt complain about the obvious unfairness and danger.

I think if you start factoring in free college, that may change. Can’t wait to see how it plays out.

Thank you

I expect to see a Shantique ONeal in the WNBA soon. Labronica James and Lucy Donic could play until they are 60.

If I was concerned about my daughter getting injured while practicing sports she wouldn’t play any and I’ll just had her at home plugged to an iPad like many parents do.

Some much talk about competing, I'm more concerned about pubescent kids sharing changing rooms and showers at school 😐 Not good!

Biden probably doesn't even think about that aspect, or, if he does, it's not in a good way. "C'mon, man...it's just kids."
