Welcome to Thunderdome

Most people want these kids to have a chance, just not at the expense of others.

It's really, really logical and easy, so why is it so difficult for those in charge to figure out?

Oh yeah, the "best and brightest" stay out of low paying political jobs and work in the private sector...

For many it's a way to show how "good" they are.

"Look at me, I care about transgendered people WAY more than you do."

The day the 203rd ranked man beat Serena and Venus.

But yes, transgender athletes playing women's sports is "fair"...

Fair point, but I also wonder how it would have gone a couple of years later when Venus was at her peak, or later when Serena was. Serena was 16, Venus was 17, in 1998 when the Australian Open happened.

According to Serena herself when asked how she would fare against the #1 ranked player in the world, "I would lose 6-0, 6-0 in about 5 or 6 minutes."

This was on Letterman or something during her peak.

Plus, teens should have more than enough energy to beat a nobody who golfed and drank that day...

Sure, but what about #200?

Maybe drinking was his super power?

It's a moot point. Unless the world's top female athletes are able to compete with the world's top male athletes, they don't belong on the same field.

I knew a guy in New Mexico who claimed he did everything better while drunk. A couple of guys in my golf league are typically stoned and seem to shoot ok.

This is fantastic. Isn't it great that she gets this opportunity? And at nobody else's expense.

(You know, except for all the biologically born women.)

Good news

She concluded, "Being trans has not affected my ability to do this sport and being able to continue is very rewarding."

PennAthletics declares:'Because of her strong swims in the 200 and 500 free this weekend, she will have a chance to become the first transgender student-athlete to be a Division I All-American, or even national champion.'

As a dude, he was 2nd team All-Ivy. Now (s)he could be an All-American, just by switching genders.

I couldnt find out how tall he is, or his +/-, but he looks pretty tall.

Parents are (rightfully) mad

My fave part is where the swimmers are afraid to speak up for fear of reprisal.

I don't know why. The school publicly outs them, calls them bigots and homophobes, threatens their student and athlete statuses, and then the perfectly polite people online join in the "praise parade".

Seriously, the way that certain elements use disgusting tactics to completely silence all dissenting views will only end through violence. That's my prediction.

I keep saying the left is using the tried and true methods of fascism to silence dissent, but no one believes me. We live in a society where you dare not speak your mind for fear of having your life destroyed. Truly a free and open society we have going here.

Men's sports should just be called "not bio-womens" and only bio-womens in the bio-womens.

Transwomen are ineligible for team sports. Sorry, but we can't oppress 50+% of the population for a very small minority. "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few or the one."

too complicated. Just like pro sports - there's a women's league, and a "who cares" league.

Leisher sounds super terfy. Destroy him.

I think you meant to say "men's league". Nobody supports women's pro sports leagues and even fewer would support transgender pro leagues.

My idea is meant more for amateur sports.

The left has really embraced labeling everything they don't like, huh? It could be described as fascist, but we know that's just right wing people.

They are not men's leagues, literally anyone can play in them.

Misogynist!

Because we've redefined what it means to be a "man.". This is no big announcement.
