Welcome to Thunderdome

Soon, there will be men's sports, and people who used to be men's sports. I know that's not an original thought. But that really is pretty much where things will end up.

Yeah, but it's the only real solution.

Or just stick with you biological sex.

I've been told this is hate speech.

Yep and everyone that doesn't watch it will be called a bigot of some sort or another, ala the WNBA (which women don't even watch).

So... what about "used to be women" where do they fit in? Do we need 4 categories?

Not really fair to say it's illegal for women competitors to take hormonal supplements, and then have a bunch of women injecting testosterone. Err, men injecting testosterone. That used to be women.

Probably.

OR...

We could just tell people that not everyone gets to live out their dream, particularly when it's at the expense of others.

Instead of calling them "men's" and "women's" sports. Maybe call them "X" and "Y" sports. Which ever one you have, that's the league you participate in. I don't THINK you can identify yourself into having a different chromosome.

So.. back to biological sex.

Yes. But we can't say "Men's"/"Women's" or even "sex" because of the trolls that want to say "Ya. But I'm a woman now.". Well, you've got the X, so. . . You play with the X's.

Of course, the X-Games will be pissed.

I approve of this plan. Completely logical and really nothing has to change.

So I guess this person is still going to be allowed to crush everyone in the champinoships?

I think it would be a bold move if none of the other athletes would swim in those races. "Fine, you win."

Well that's some bullshit.

It's beyond bullshit. It's an absolutely disgusting display of putting politics above fair play and common sense.

Every woman who has busted her ass her whole life through daily swim practices and day long swim meets are being told that they don't matter. What matters far more is bureaucrats oppressing them in the name of playing some silly political game or protecting themselves from the woke mob.

This country needs an enema is the worst possible way.

Through the nose?

Oof.

I've been told it has happened, but they're not dominating, setting records, etc.

Well, that's going to trigger some emails.

I think that Dilbert cartoon should be in the sexism thread, but it is funny.

Oh right, that's where I meant to post it.

Russia invades Ukraine, so CBS News does a huge story on how evil Ukraine is towards trans people.

Listen, I get covering all sides of the war, but this seems a bit soon and tone deaf.
