Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Who are the ones fighting for biological men to be allowed to win all the women’s sports, scholarships, awards, and use women’s safe spaces again?
Are you just as worried about biological women possibly winning men's sports, scholarships, awards and using men's safe spaces?
Because you didn't mention that...
That doesn’t happen. Name 1 trans man that has won a sporting event over a biological male.
And yes, I do think that trans men should not have access to male “safe spaces”, if such a thing exists. I didn’t mention trans men because it’s not an issue. Women’s sports exist exactly because biological women can’t compete with biological men on a physical level.
Name one trans woman who has beaten all the biological women in a sporting event.
You're not serious are you?

Do you need more? That was literally just recent cycling results and 1 swimmer.
Here is an article with 23 trans women who have won national or international championships against biological women:

So it will never be an issue? Can you be sure of that?
Why are you using single anecdote examples as if they're universal?
Biological women beating biological men more than a tiny fraction of a percent of the time in any physical related sports? Yes, I can be sure of that. That's literally why womens sports exists in the first place - because it would be unfair for them to compete with men.
Did you know that the NFL isn't a male football league? It's actually open to all sexes. Women can play in the NFL. There has never been a woman make an NFL team. Same with many big sporting leagues. One woman, Lauren Silberman, actually got a tryout as a kicker a few years back:

Want to see how it went?
https://www.espn.com/nfl/draft2013/story/_/id/9010658/female-kicker-injures-quadriceps-just-two-kicks-tryout
I see, so as long as it's only a fraction of a percent of the time, it's okay.
Well, that's true in women's sports as well.
It’s not true in women’s sports though. Basically every time a trans woman competes they’re finishing up the top.
Every time? Can you demonstrate this to be the case?
What word did you intentionally leave out there? Starts with B.
Fine. Demonstrate that it's "basically" every time.
All of the trans women that are winning all the women’s sporting events that they compete in.
A 49 year old trans woman got bronze in a track and field race the other day, beating women that are in the prime of their careers. Forty. Nine. Years. Old.
One example is not indicative of an overall trend.
Again, can you demonstrate that it is all?
Go find the events that trans women are competing in.
Look where they’re finishing.
Nope, telling me to look is not demonstrating your claim. It sounds like you can't actually back it up.
Here's one: https://uclaclubsports.com/news/2019/5/1/for-the-love-of-the-sport-wren-exley-wins-male-athlete-of-the-year-at-gymnastics-nationals.aspx
That’s not a physical sport where you’re literally competing against other people. That’s an individual sport, one that women tend to have an advantage in.
So? Same with running, swimming, and cycling
Those all favour males physically. Gymnastics doesn’t, it favours women.
Yeah, so what's your point?
Nobody?
