Gavin Newsom broke with his party on trans athletes in sports, suggesting that Dems were in the wrong for allowing trans athletes to participate in female college and youth sports.
Replies
I think I agree with Newsom. I support transsexual people but they have to be aware that they will create controversy if they enter sports as their authentic self. The facts are not in as to whether they have an advantage of size, strength, etc. unfortunate they have only tended to incite anger.

You agree with discrimination? Thats horrific. And you obviously don’t support transsexual people when you strip away their rights. Also, every study that has ever been done on this issue has shown that trans women have no advantage in sport. bjsm.bmj.com/content/58/1...

Even within this study there are arguments against that. The effects of testosterone during male puberty are too advantageous to muscle mass growth and limb length, and no amount of combating that after the fact is enough to convince sports authorities to do anything about it.

Muscle mass is mitigated by HRT. Limb length is touchier, as HRT affects that only minimally. I disagree. The data we have strongly leans towards little/no androgenic advantage post HRT. That should be enough to at least prioritize inclusion, even if there are strict regulations.

Honest answer. Because it's a non-issue that people are just using as a wedge. Out of 520,000 NCAA athletes, less than ten were transgender, either men OR women. This isn't about "protecting women's sports", it's about singling out trans people because they're "icky".

Apparently you don’t have daughters or know young women in sports. I do and don’t care how people want to identify as it is their right to do so.

At every level and in every sport, women have the right to pursue athletic dreams competing with women. It’s not based on opinion or how many it impacts. It’s apparent you have little interest in AAU, pee wee or club sports. That may or may not lead to NCAA or higher level competition.

The ratio among school age children isn't any bigger than that in the NCAA. In fact, it's probably smaller because school age children are a lot crueler. So the .0001% of school age athletes that are trans girls are being handled on a case by case basis just fine. There's no need to demonize them.

I appreciate the apology, and forgive you. You are right that it does, which is why there are strict medical prerequisites that transgender female athletes have to meet to even be eligible. You have to medically transition, and for a certain amount of time to mitigate androgenic advantage

He didn't just break with the Dems, he broke with international human rights law, and with the highest ideals of the American promise outlined in the Declaration of Independence

Republicans lie to get votes every time they open their mouths. Why can't a dem do it for once? Clearly hoping that's what this is... cause he isn't a well known liar like most Republicans.

The right is using this as a distraction topic to divide people. They have picked a scapegoat that many people feel uncomfortable about. Leave trans people alone for fuck’s sake and worry about your country literally flushing down the shitter.

I am worried about trans issues. But pushing the sports parity argument is nonsense. Show me the trans men competing in men's sports then we can talk about parity. This is only about men playing women's sports and crushing records and lifelong commitment by women being pushed aside for politics.

Not only are there trans men playing against cis men, but at the top levels of endurance sports women are now out performing men AND have reached parity with men in some other sports. Trans women aren't cis men but even if they were co-ed sports exist and are fine www.insidehook.com/sports/trans...

I agree with you. And I support Trans rights. But in the context sports participation it isn't fair.

You're aware co-ed sports exist, right?

I think it’s a complicated and unique issue that doesn’t lend itself to sound bites. I do agree it is being used to attack trans rights.

The Nature vs Nurture debate is never ending; or, is it a “I think, therefore I am” argument? Perhaps the idea that beliefs do not trump facts should be the decider; that’ll stir up the religious.

Fully agree with him. Sport for all but not at the cost of young girls. Transgender, no problem but then they play against transgender. Anything else isn’t fair.

Do you believe any woman who successfully beats a trans women should also be banned because they clearly have a genetic advantage?

I believe in fairness! Women against women, men against men and trans against trans or trans against men if they feel up to it!🤷♂️

So then you'd agree if a cis has proven through her record she is equal to a trans woman she's clearly a danger and can only compete in open categories right? After all otherwise it wouldn't be fair.
