Congrats to women reclaiming their sports

[El Mythical 23 k.s.c.]

Just want to congratulate the women taking back their sports. I'm so proud of younger women standing up for their rights. Keep fighting for woman's rights when it comes to sports. This is by far one of the most challenging times in the last hundred years.

Edit: everyone be civil and support women for defending their rights under title 9.

Transwomen have higher testosterone levels, it's not fair in competitions involving physical activity.

Ciswomen also may have abnormally high testosterone levels.

"Christine Mboma and Beatrice Masilingi, who are both cisgender women, were forced to undergo medical assessments while they were at a training camp in Italy.

The tests were requested by World Athletics, according to the Namibia Olympic Committee, and their results “indicated that both athletes have a natural high testosterone level,” a statement continued.

“According to the rules of World Athletics, this means that they are not eligible to participate in events from 400m to 1600m,” officials added."

I'm getting really tired seeing all this anti-trans, woke, blah blah everyday on steam. I honestly don't give a flying F about trans people playing sports. Good for them! People need to back off of them, and I need a break as well. All this talk of trans people is tiring me out, I don't even wanna talk about politics anymore because it's the same crap everyday now.

And like someone said. These people don't care about women sports or women in general, they just hate trans people enough to care about women.

I agree mate, I personally have grown jaded to all the drama of the world but its just something I also have accepted to be just part of it. Can't say I hate the drama, just jaded as I can't escape or avoid what is in of itself, part of every day life.

nah you can avoid it pretty easy. Log off, 99.99% of this garbage only exists on the internet lol

This is a pretty good question. If sports must be "100% fair", then all basketball players should have the same height, just to mention one example.

Baseball is played by the best players. The rules make things fair. Thats why no women exist in the league. Stop being pedantic. The sport is filled with the best players under the given rules of fairness. There is no rule that says women can't be in the NBA. They aren't in the NBA cause they can't play there. Stop being obtuse. No one is stop[ping women from playing any male sport actually. Cause no rule exist to stop them from playing in male sports. On the contrary all female sports have a rule saying men can't play in their league. So whats your point again????

There is a WNBA. Which is also owned by the NBA.

Congratulations Women. A win well deserved. I'm happy for them.
Low IQ Types might be upset they cant invade women's spaces but I'm good with that. I'm sure there are plenty of other spaces they can larp in, its a big planet.

No wieners or fake rubber camel toes allowed. Men who wear lipstick are also banned. You're not fooling anyone.

[Not Big Surprise]

yknow, for people who supposedly have such great advantages, you'd expect to see major sweeping of prizes from trans women, especially considering trans athletes have been allowed to compete in their gendered category for decades

[Ganger]

I can't believe we have men out there who feel they need to compete with the opposite sex to win. When clearly males are physically stronger than females and yet to my disbelief we have hundreds of thousands of women cheering these guys on.

[Pocahawtness]

I have always wondered whether men, who get very emotional about this subject, are actually pro women's rights, or anti trans rights. It always seemed to me that it is rare than men fight in women's corners.
Anyway, as it happens, I do agree that there should be biological limits on sports. Sport isn't about who or what you believe you are, it's about your biology.

I find that people like to throw in this "your anti-trans" stuff when you disagrees with men/women completing in the same events or when you disagree about males using female restrooms.

It's the same as when you disagree with allowing millions of illegal immigrants entering your country, people turn this on it's head and call you a racist. This is why we are not able to have proper debates on these types of subjects because people scream, shout and cry about BS.

Good. Now, the NCAA needs to follow suit.

I'm both 😎

you and i both know you didn't give a ♥♥♥♥ about women's sports until now.

also, a bunch of cis women in these sports said that they didn't care about it.
as for y'alls (thoroughly disproven) claim about trans women having an unfair advantage, the olympics has had ways to make it fair for a long time before you ever cared.
