49. Should Transwomen compete in women’s sports? The Answer is Obvious: Yes and No. (article not ready)

hey, Jim. Thanks for your comment. I’ll make it short by citing 2 examples where transfemales should be alloed to participate in girls or womens’ sports. … 60 minutes australia did two groups of stories on 2 transgender girls in australia, one named Emma, one named Jazz. Homosexual people grow up immersed in a heterosexual culture, believe they will be part of it, and when puberty and hormones come, they slowly come to realize their attraction for the wrong sex. Transexuals realize they are the opposite sex very early. Remember the clip by the economist who made me realize we can’t just overcome the natl debt by taxing the rich. She said she was trans since she was 4. Anyway, Jazz was on a girls soccer team at age 8, but the authorities found out she was trans and had her banned. in the story, at one point Jaz says, ” I was the smallest kid on the team”. This I think shows that one rule can’t apply to all situations. ……. The second case involves a woman, about 30 who was trans and wanted to run in the London Marathon with 3 women friends -which in this case meant the women’s start. On the Tv talk show a woman was complaining that this woman should not be allowed because she was displacing all the woman that placed in back of her. (They did run together -in well over 4 hours.) First of all no one except the elite runners know or care about their place they finished -it’s all their time. The mrathon i finished in Columbus was in 3:25. Never ill forget. But I never had any idea what place. … Anyway, I think flexibility and creativity could go a long way in making more people happy. In european hoop leagues there is, or was a rule only 2 american (black) players could be on 1 team. In Olympic soccer, only 1 player can be over 22. Maybe trans people could compete some places, like marathons but not be eligible for prizes. Or decisions made locally about the age cut-off for trans girls. I saw a graph of the relative weight of children by sex and girls were heavier untill about 11 or 12 I think. OF course in serious competition, they should be banned and the most famous trans, Caitlin Jenner agrees. The idiocy of Lia Thomas winning the NCAA national swim title was absurd. All the talk of taking hormones. Shit, one glance tells you the narrower hip structure and leg strength of Thomas is worth at least a tenth of a second per length, which is what some races are won by.
