Good to know that you are an "extreme progressive liberal" but that rant. apparently directed at me was totally uncalled for. I did not take a stand on the issue of transwomen in women's sports and in fact saidd that I reccognise it as a difficult question .Bassically you attack on me is a strawman argument becuase you are trying to counter an argument that I did not makeGood grief did you not get my point at all?No one is condemning transsexuals. The biological fact is that some are men and have an unfair advantage. The sport has Woman in front of it for a reason.Sports is controversial but a very small part of the issue. Frankly, I do not know what the answer is to the issue of trans women in womens sports or eeven if it is a real threat to womens sports. But I do know that it has been zeroed in on by bigots to maline and condemn transwomen and that is disgusting and you have apparently been sucked into it.Even with or without the added conflicts
over Transgender policy itself, this issue DOES affect Sports. Because genetically born female students and athletes may not be equally able to compete in some sports
without equal access to scholarships based on performance.
As an extreme progressive liberal, I would prefer to support anyone competing any way they want, but what you seem to fail to realize, is that a person who have had years of testosterone enhancement, can not be allowed to compete with those who have not.
Sports is a very big issue for people interested in sports, and there is absolutely no doubt at all that transsexuals' who have had excess testosterone enhancement would be totally unfair to those who do not.
Anyone who does not realize this is such an extremist bigot against almost half the population, that nothing they say can then be taken seriously at all.
The problem is yours entirely.
No matter how much I would like to accommodate transsexuals, it would be wrong to harm almost half the population in order to do so.
So any fair person has to ban transsexuals who have had unfair testosterone enhancements, from sports competitions.
Until you can recognize that obvious fact, then you are not progressive or liberal.
There are just some things we have to accept as not being able to be fixed, regardless of our desire to fix them.
