NCAA changes transgender athlete participation policy amid calls for reevaluation

a reply to: OccamsRazor04

The folks who push the trans issues are extremely loud, and good at smearing mud to make your life miserable. So NCAA has decided that until someone else steps up and takes it on the chin, they won't be the first....but they are willing to at least open the door for that person.

This, too, shall pass.

First they cried for not getting a trophy. So we gave them a participation trophy. Now they want to compete against girls to feel what it's like winning?

Perverting reality of nature's miracles, for ego is stupider than I can fathom.

NCAA took the cowards way out and said they would evaluate on a case by case basis

Doesn't this mean that they will weed out the fake trans people who just want to game they system?

No, case by case means sport by sport. So you're not a real woman if you swim, but you might be if you lift weigpreventive.

And they open up a whole potential kettle of worms by not treating all athletes equally.

It's hilarious how full circle some of these have come, in a warped way.

Also, horseshoe theory and all that.

Just like, now many social justice warriors are trying to implement segregated spaces for people of color in colleges and dorms, etc.

Yeah, but I don't feel like it's even that. I feel like it's the new version of putting women back in the kitchen and boys out working on their cars, except they're trying to rewrite reality because they've finally given up on the neat idea of biology doing it for them.

Stop women’s sports. Just have sports.

The question is when it passes will it turn into something worse? We shall see.

There should be no mens division only bio women and open division.
Anyone can compete in open div. only BIO women can compete in Women's div.

Dunno. The people with the opinions are the ones who make things happen. Everyone else is busy working, raising kids, dealing with illness, taking care of aging parents, etc.

Its typically its only the radicals who make any changes. Sometimes, like with our founders, the radicals had goals that netted to a pretty positive result. That isn't typical.

Lia Thomas' emergence in the pool put the NCAA's transgender policy in the spotlight

Basically this biological male who decided they were now a female was dominating competitions. In response the NCAA took the cowards way out and said they would evaluate on a case by case basis which sports transgender athletes can compete in.

Sounds like what the NCAA is saying, is whether they are a woman or not depends on what sport they choose to compete in. I somehow can't fathom how Lia Thomas is not a woman because they like to swim, and would be a woman in another sport. You are either a woman, or you aren't. If you are a woman, you compete in women's sports.

Would this qualify as a hate crime by the NCAA?

They should just make a new rule. If you have a cervix then you can sign up. If not then not. Not born with ovaries or a womb? Can't sign up then either.

It can be confusing..lol

My nephew came out as gay a few years back, I guess he would of been 17-18, pretty striaghtforward for him, he just announced it, and that was that, sure, ok! no one would know otherwise, he is not seeking the attention. Sometimes I think it is about seeking attention.

My niece, about 6 months after the nephew came out, decided that she was lesbian, she was 14-15. I didn't believe it for a minute. She was seeking attention, and that about how it turned out, as she likes boys now. There was a lot of gender stuff going on in school, I think that may encourage kids sometimes. I dunno, live and let live, I just find it weird. I do draw the line at the serious competitive sports thing, and while I'm respectful, I'm not going to entertain with the pronoun crap.

We are in agreement. And to a degree I see this time as a parallel to my time in HS, in the late 90s where many ladies decided to claim themselves as lesbian, although they are now married in hetero relationships.

The sports issue is a hard one, and I think it's bad that right now individuals can take down past female world records because of how they identify.

Why not have league for trans men and one for trans women?Then they could compete within their own group!You will see how fast this transgender crap stops when they compete with in their own group.
