    Is that why Vanderbilt had a female kicker on the male football team?

    I think we should.

    Intentionally sterilizing a child and butchering their genitals is absolutely abuse and if any doctor did it to my kid I wouldn't just prosecute.

    There aren't any female linemen. And you made my point there are no men's sports.

    And if you want to talk about females and competition with males didn't the US women's soccer team get their asses kicked by a boy's high school team.

    If only the world were as perfect as yous...

    Intersex is a general term used for a variety of situations in which a person is born with reproductive or sexual anatomy that doesn't fit the boxes of “female” or “male.” Sometimes doctors do surgeries on intersex babies and children to make their bodies fit binary ideas of “male” or “female”.

    You’re so heavily outnumbered here (and in the world) on this issue that it’s hilarious.

    Intersex is a birth defect.

    We should. Especially since women who think they want to be men have all sorts of permission to pump themselves up with hormones.

    You are advocating that biological males compete against biological women by bringing up the very rare bith defect of intersex Individuals?

    Excellent choice, though I’m shocked our society was stupid enough to ever let it happen in the first place. Far left radicalization has convinced so many that men and women are interchangeable.

    They aren’t, and rare birth defects don’t justify this idea lol. It’s irrational to believe it does.

    But the good news is, seems many people are waking up and calling out this woke crap for the bull poop it is. Even many of the leftists are realizing they have gone too far. My favorite is when a leftist democrat voter claims he isn't a democrat - it is happening more and more, I guess embarrassment does that.

    The "point" he's making is not that women are different than men - which is kinda obvious and why we have men's and women's sports teams because each is different - but apparently, that issue has triggered a poster into thinking that "males and females being different" equals "males are better than females." It's moving the goalposts and thinking no one will notice. Problem is, everyone has. It's as false an equivalency as you can get.

    My public position (at PF) has not wavered in the 20 Months since I posted the following comment.
    From October 2019:
    I have stated (time and time again) every time that this issue has been brought up at PF:

    I am Adamantly Opposed to the Notion of "Biologically-Born Males" competing in Women's Sports.

    Obviously, the "Trans-Females" have an Unfair Advantage (just like if some other women were using Banned PEDS).

    It is outrageous to allow "Trans-Women" to compete (especially at the Elite Level where records are being set).

    I've said that all along also.
    The sports governing bodies can make their own decisions. They have been dealing with women who are more like men since the dawn of women's sports and have a good handle on what they can allow or not allow.

    The irony here is back in the 80s the IOC required women to prove they were really woman all because of the East Germans women swimmers were suspected to have some men on their team. Today the same test they used back then would disqualify tranny women.

    Perfect example of how much further behind a female athlete is compared to men. What was sarah fuller's stats compared to the rest of the NCAA when she was used as a token?
