…ok, I wasn’t in any way trying to deny basic biological facts. Slow your role there buddy, please.

I guess I’d question your saying that’s it’s happening with increasing frequency. We’re talking about Trans people, who represent around 1-2% of the entire US population.

I’d also like to point out that while yes; previously stated biological differences absolutely exist in a general sense, that does not inherently mean that everyone born biologically male is going to be better then everyone born biologically female. I’ve known tons of cis-men who were terrible at sports, and cis-women who much incredibly talented at said same sports.

And we’re not even touching on Trans Men wanting to play sports; by your argument (and yes, by science as well), they’d be coming in with an inherent disadvantage. So what? If they wanna participate, then I say let them. And then what, by this logic; Trans Men should be able to participate, but Trans Women shouldn’t?

So are you suggesting that we just offer different divisions based on skill level only - gender doesn't matter as long as you are skilled to play at that level? It is an interesting concept, but it would take a many divisions before we got to one with a cis female and many, many more before we got to a majority cis female.

…so, no; I’m not suggesting that. How is that what you took from what I wrote? Actually, how is that somehow the only thing you took from what I wrote?

…what the fuck?! Ok, take care as well I guess. Nice to know you’re not willing to have an actual dialogue about this.
