The Texas state wrestling championships aren't usually national news. But they made headlines this weekend when a 17-year-old transgender boy — barred by state rules from competing in the boys' league — won his weight class, against girls.

You're probably the first person who's ever agreed with me on this.dhdawg said:
The whole transgender thing has become accepted all of a sudden because people decided gender = / = biological sex. Fine. But sports aren't split between male and female because it feels different to be a guy or a girl. They're split because men and women are biologically different, in ways that give men athletic advantages in almost every sport. Being female gender but male biologically gives you an advantage over females, even if you're taking supplements to diminish said advantage.
Conversely, female biologically but being male gender who takes male supplements to look, feel and behave more biologically male gives you an advantage over non supplemented biological females.
If you have an advantage over biological females that doesn't come from your own biology (i.e. being born a badass like Kelsey Plum), you should compete with the guys.
TL; DR, if there are going to be female sports, males and those taking male enhancements shouldn't be participating in them. -
My sense is the whoever it is really pushing the mainstream tranny thing right now would also be loathe to concede there are chinherent differences between sexes. It's a bit of a pickle for them.dnc said:

Then we can just open all sports up to everybody, no more men's this or women's that, best person makes the team.
RIP, Title IX.
