ahh yes, the "sanctity" of sports.
It's easy to write sports off as irrelevant, but what are the further implications of this? Would you be ok with seeing an ever increasing % of female college scholarships going to transwomen?
Every which way you look at this issue, women get shit all over, yet again.
The end point of all of this is the cancellation of all sex defined policy. If any man can self identify as a woman then, and vice versa, then what is the point in distinguishing? Same sex toilets, same sex prisons, same sex rape crisis centres?
Obviously it won't get to this - there will be a backlash as people wake up to the realisation that this isn't an easy-win same sex marriage situation, this is far far more complicated because wins on one hand mean losses elsewhere.
There are lesbians being called transphobes because they say they wouldn't have sex with a woman with a dick. It's already gotten very silly. So where will the balance eventually be drawn, I am wondering?
My true thoughts on this? At the risk of sounding like a self loather such as yourself, norton, it feels like men, unsatisfied with controlling the world, have decided they now want to control being a woman too, and to even their own incredulity they are making great strides.
P.s. neorebel, I appreciate that article but it's far from the unequivocal proof it claims to be. I'm no expert whatsoever on these matters but it took me 30 seconds to find an extremely coherent and persuasive rebuttal of every point the article makes. I'm not saying there isn't bias in here, I'm just saying that opposing views are equally convincing, any thoughts of it being 'clear cut' are short lived.
