Girls left in dust as male-born transgender athletes take state track titles in five states

I don't, in fact I am one that participated in high school sports.
Huh. How many from BOTH sides bring up this topic on this board? I'm sure there won't be any political bent to those who have.
The lack of empathy is astonishing
This seems easy, the next time this happens, when they fire the starting gun... the dude can take off down the track and the girls should just stand up and walk off.
If that were true, why do you support men participating in women’s sports then?
Taking away their achievements?
Taking away their scholarships and opportunities?
Only if you hate women would you support this, and you do.
If it's not an issue, then let the boys compete against boys.
I didn't think that was the point you were making. I was making my own point that the possiblilty of dying or being permanently injured from a school shooting should be more concerning to parents than losing a championship to a transgender person.
My first sentence agrees it is an issue, just not the most important issue for students.
But there is no reason to have to choose,.. both are unacceptable.
I have empathy for someone losing a state championship to a transgender person, but it's not going to ruin their life like some of you are acting. It's a game not life and death.
Sounds great, now when Republicans/conservatives start passing laws to prevent school shootings like they have about trans issues, I will push harder for liberals to come up with alternatives involving transgenders competing in sports.
Read all of the replies. Many are against it and are left.
News flash:
You can still support the trans community and find wrong in this.
As I have already said. As do many others. We just don't keep bringing it up because as I have also said, nobody ever thinks twice about it until someone of your ilk creates a new thread about it.
I’m just being facetious in regard to directing a lot of attention on small percentages.
Very bigoted of you to say this. Imagine someone saying.
“I have empathy for a man wanting to compete in women’s sports, but it's not going to ruin their life like some of you are acting. It's a game not life and death.”
you would call them hateful and a bigot. So when you do it, why can’t you see it?
OK, then let the boys compete against boys.
These kind of statements don't do anything but show that you don't believe "trans" is a real issue for some people. You can disagree with transgender girls competing against cis girls without denying that they exist at all which is what you do when you call them boys.
Often the same posters that are so fired up about keeping transgender women from competing against cis women are the posters that suggest that some female at birth athletes are men because they look, sound, or play more men. (Serena Williams, Britney Griner, Abby Wambach, etc.)
Personally I don't agree with this. I see this as "othering" trans people. It suggests that they don't exist at all by claiming that their mere presence disrupts cis people.
That’s like saying why do i hate thieves and scoundrels? Because of their selfish, deceitful actions, of course.
They lie about their sports designation, men seeking to participate in women’s sports (scoundrel behavior) and steal accomplishments and opportunities from women (selfish.)
If the shoe fits.

Now how many biological women just kicked ass in men's sports this past calendar year?
Holy Christ this is comical. If Lia is such a man then why isn't she holding a dozen gold medals in the Olympics?A Look At the Numbers and Times: No Denying the Advantages of Lia Thomas

Because rational scientific based people decided a man cannot participate in women’s sport.
I think you are the one that is othering women. You are subordinating their wants needs and desires below “transgenders”
You are othering them. So predictable.
