Dignity and self-expression matter, but they don’t override the purpose of sex-based categories in sport. Those categories exist because male puberty creates lasting physical advantages in strength, speed, power, and muscle mass that training and identity don’t erase.
When we prioritize self-expression over those differences, we stop protecting the integrity of women’s competition—the very thing those categories were created to ensure. Fairness isn’t a distraction; it’s the reason the categories exist. You can support dignity without pretending biology is optional in contact or strength-based sports. Example
Reminder: Washington just had a teen boy switch mid season to girl's cross country. He went from placing 76/302 amongst boys to 7th place in the entire state against girls. A girl was kept from regionals because of him.
@vidotjpg I mean, no one really believes trans women are women. Like yes okay most people are polite and will call you by your pronouns but no one really thinks they’re women. It’s time to get our heads out of the gutter here
A school district that threatened to arrest parents for wearing "XX" wristbands, to protest a male in a girls' game, admitted violating their First Amendment rights, promised to honor their rights going forward, and paid them $275,000. https://t.co/qUr5Kf9ti3
@AaronJFentress@Tpljmpr And that’s on him and his conscious. But did it warrant an ejection? I don’t think so. Maybe some guidance? Next time please hand it over or roll it and if it happens again eject them? Life is hard and we don’t know what’s going through peoples minds when things happen.
