Pink

It's stories like this that demonstrates that when the DFL wears pink to support "women's rights" they really only mean the right of women to end the lives of their children up to birth and to push their children into irreversible medical procedures that will likely ruin the lives of their children.

I would hope that if scouts were present to see a girl like this cheated of 1st or 2nd place by a dude, they'd be smart & honest enough to choose as if the disordered dude wasn't even there. They don't have to pretend the disordered dude is a girl just because he's been enabled by morons.

You'd hope...

The girls/women need to stop competing when a guy is there. Some have begun but until all stop, it will go on and on.

I agree that simply refusing to compete is likely the only option to really stop this. At some point the thrill of competing against no one will pale and they'll get bored. As long as they can beat lesser competition, they'll likely continue.

The obvious downside being those females who've devoted their time and effort to achieve in their chosen sport will never have any chance to make it a profession and those who have to make that choice as a professional may lose their position among the pros. It must be a legislative issue in favor of women's sports and privacy.

And I don't think there needs to be any separate facilities or sports leagues to accommodate these people. It's not even akin to the Special Olympics. These "trans" people are simply mentally ill and need their disorder treated, not enabled with "a league of their own" (a good movie, actually).

While I agree that it could be a problem for those who are at the margins. The reality is that Caitlin Clark would still be playing professionally even had she sat out some competitions.

It also hinges on the self interest of other institutions. If college A, actually wants the best women, they'll evaluate the women, even if they have to be creative about it.

You also have to deal with the literal, physical, risk to women playing against men. What good is it if you're an awesome athlete and play against a team with a dude if you end up with a TBI and lose a year or more?

I don't have a problem with legislation, but we all know that the DFL will change the legislation every chance they have so that's not a permanent solution.

I disagree. If a private organization wants to form a "trans" league at some level, who cares. Nobody will watch and there are so few "trans" people that they won't be able to field teams, but who cares. If they want to waste money, that's their choice.

Marshal Art said...

With what are you disagreeing? That there doesn't NEED to be separate leagues to accommodate the mentally disordered. This isn't to say some lunkhead might think money can be made by trying to form them. I'm saying there's no need to accommodate the disordered in such an endeavor. That is, there's no need beyond their desire and certainly no need for anyone to feel compelled to accommodate that desire.

How is pointing out the reality that a private entity could choose to establish a sports league for "trans" athletes disagreeing? I was under the impression that the US allowed private entities to establish enterprises with little restriction. I fail to see how a billionaire who wants to start the "TBA" ("trans" basketball association) should or could be prevented from doing so. It seems like a bad investment, but not illegal.

We don't NEED cars that go faster then 70 MPH, guns that hold more than 10 rounds, a women's flag football league, or millions of other things. We live in a society that for virtually 100% of the population does not NEED anything. We're in a want society, not a NEED society. If some rich idiot wants to start the TBA, why do I care and why would I stop them? Who's talking about compelling anything? Again, since when do we stop private entities from pursuing their desires as long as those desires are legal?

"How is pointing out the reality that a private entity could choose to establish a sports league for "trans" athletes disagreeing?"

Because as I just stated again, there's no NEED for such a league. That fact doesn't prohibit some lunkhead from forming one. My position doesn't even hint at doing that. If some enabler wants to waste his money on such an endeavor, good for him.

"We don't NEED cars that go faster then 70 MPH, guns that hold more than 10 rounds,"

Actually, we DO need those two things. YOU might not need one, but someone who needs to get to point B from A might have a legit reason to go that fast in order to do so. And yes, larger capacity mags are indeed a necessity. A woman's flag football league? No. There's no "need" there, just desire, but I'd wager there's a better chance at profit over a perv league.

So again, my objection to the suggestion that a possible resolution would be to form a "trans" league remains solid. There's no need for such a thing and I insist the culture is better served by refusing to patronize such a thing.

Why you chose to make this about denying anything is beyond me.

As I stated earlier, we as a society don't operate in a world of "need", we operate in a world of want. My pointing that out is hardly a disagreement.

Again, no one "needs" a car that can exceed the highest maximum speed limit in the US. They just don't. Obviously if they've planned poorly and need to exceed 70-80 then they have a desire to do so, yet they also have faster alternatives.
Again, seriously under what circumstance is more than 10 rounds a "need"? I haven't spent a ton of time practicing mag changes but it's not hard to be reasonably fast. but I can't imagine a situation where I couldn't carry enough loaded 10 round mags to account for almost any situation.

Would I prefer to carry my VPD with 15+1, sure. But do I "need to" no.

I'm not sure what you think I'm "denying". My noting that we have the freedom in the US to do form enterprises to satisfy people's wants, is simply pointing out reality. We, as a society, left "needs" behind back in the '40s-'50s for the most part. The literal biggest attraction of a free/capitalist society is that people can do stupid stuff if they want.
