politics

because they want a scientific basis for their gut feeling

I don’t even think she has a penis, there’s no proof she’s not just a freakishly strong woman

and THAT's where people get retarded

It’s all just people making shit up

It makes much more sense that a woman who was super strong would want to become a boxer, because she’s good at it, than to pretend to be a woman to join the Olympics

there's value in having separate womens and mens leagues, and I feel like most honest people will agree with that

Lots of women agree with that from what I understand

That’s why there’s a womens shooter league

Because there’s too many men

but then we have a (not insignificant) number of women who have weird genetic anomolies that make them outliers

in a way that's too similar for the psuedoscientific reasons we claim there are deltas between the two sexes

Although I know you’re referring to biological differences in this case

The only mixed sport is equestrian

Haha

unless I'm missing one

no really, other than mixed tennis doubles

Ping pong even?

Equestrian is the only sport I think where men and women compete on even grounds

idk if there are mixed ping pong doubles

don't women do better in shooting or something?

I could see that, but I heard that the reason they split them is because there’s so many men in the sport over women there’s more likely for them to be better just by sheer numbers

So they made the league so women could be recognized

No source for this, of course :}

for shooting specifically, very possible

how is bowling men vs women? that came to mind for whatever reason

men dominate bowling

since ball rpm matters a lot

It takes a lot of skill, but it also requires strength

ok, Loveland is right

just always hit strikes

Women actually have a statistical edge in shooting, but it's close enough that they could be mixed

True, even I can strike once in a while

Women should just get good

but there are just so many more men, it made sense to have a women's league as well

But yeah I feel like until we start developing something like weight classes for literally every sport, this shit will always be an issue

literally just go back to the chromosome testing they did back until 25 years ago

Because it’s kinda crazy right now that people are going into chromosomes and stuff like that to explain what trans activists have been saying the whole time, that that shit doesn’t matter

it's an issue because we've distilled pop science into "man == testosterone, women == estrogen "

which is barely true

Exactly

and regulated the amount of test that women can have to compete

doping is such a meme too

because you find whatever metabolite gives you an edge that's not banned

and when it does get banned in response, you just switch to another

but I do think this current issue

the boxer has a penis

and I think that's why people are a bit extra incensed

the boxer went through male puberty so inhertently has an advantage

I just don’t understand though, why do people think she was born male

I'm not saying male, it probably is long odds XXY or XXXY
