We have so many big problems in this world. Why has the right suddenly become so obsessed with the 100 or so trans athletes in our country?


It's the culture warrior's emotional distraction from the MAGA's 'baggage rich' 2024 nominee.

My views, for the record, align with pretty much Dr Greer's. ''Gender can be changed but sex can't be changed'', more or less. She's given this a lot more thought than most people. So direct physical competition is unfair.

Hard to believe you could somehow bring Trump into this discussion. It must be an illness.

I think the outrage that men are infiltrating and dominating women's college sports is warranted and I bet there are quite a few folks on the left that agree us righties.

All Lia Thomas had to do to start competing as a woman was to take testosterone blockers for a year and show "her" levels had decreased below a certain threshold.

Even if she had fully transitioned with bottom surgery, she would have maintained her male skeletal geometry, her 6'4" height, wide shoulders and most of her muscle mass. At the same time her estrogen treatments would have given her a boost in endurance.

In most sports a trans woman has many advantages over a biological woman. Scientists know that the male skeleton is just designed to run better and faster than the female's. The physiology of a woman's pelvis that may assist her in giving birth causes her gait to be less efficient. In recreational runners the advantage to males is miniscule, but when you're talking about college scholarship level sports, there is no way a biologic female can compete with a trans female on the track.

The NCAA needs to get their act together and stop this nonsense.

It's hard to believe you can't call the poop hurling gorilla in the room ... " ... the poop hurling gorilla in the room."
