‘to change the rules so that competitors are determined by birth gender only.’
get with the program; haven’t you paid attention to the thousands of posts reminding us that the word is ‘sex’, not ‘gender’...?
Feminists who constantly whine about a so-called “pay gap,” “glass ceilings,” and institutional “gender inequality” fail to see the blatant inconsistency in having women’s sports function in any form whatsoever.
If women want to be considered equal to men, then that doesn’t mean they’re just “equal” on THEIR terms. They must compete with men on EQUAL terms ... which means they’ll just have to accept losing every Connecticut track meet to a bunch of hairy dudes.
= = = = = = = = = = =
This is a ‘two headed monster’ basically brought to earth by the feminists - who for years - have been saying women are equal to men in ALL aspects.
To go ‘against’ this latest movement, 20 years or BS will be forced down the drain, so it just isn’t going to happen without a MASSIVE uprising by those getting ‘screwed’.
Go back to an R Senator accused of calling secretaries etal ‘dear’ and patting them on the head or back, getting dragged from pillar to post, while WJC gets ‘serviced’ under his desk and nary a whimper and the parents of the young lady being squired around the White House and acting like the daughter made them proud.
Another poster mentioned ‘old time boys’ would never get away with it because of peer pressure BUT I believe it is much like open ‘gays(?)’ in the military, would have been disastrous in ‘my day’ but more or less accepted today because of the way the kids were raised - more to accept ‘different’ people...
I had always stated that had the desegration of the schools started in K or 1st grade, it would have worked much smoother - the way ‘they’ did it was to disrupt the kids when they were just settling in to their teens and now the Government comes along and buses them 20 miles away to a ‘new school’ and forces people to ‘get along’ THEN get upset and wring their hands when it doesn’t go as planned...(well maybe the ‘unrest’ was planned)
Gender is a linguistic term. Please stop using the language of the left when you are referring to sex.

Yep, feminists cannot concede that men are stronger and faster than women when they have declared for decades that men and women are the same, even interchangeable.
So stupid.
‘Not hard to figure out.’
I graduated high school in 1967; had I participated in a female sport and then demanded recognition, not only my comrades, but most of the faculty and administration would never let me live it down; the opprobrium would’ve had me considering suicide...I believe that is the point of the post to which you responded...
You don’t get to have gender equity only when it is convenient with your agenda. For decades, they have been pushing to tear down men’s sports, men’s clubs, and men’s activities.
Ten years ago, a site I used to frequent said that the next fight was between trans and lesbians, as the trans were invading womyn’s areas.
So while I understand the outrage, it is at least 30 years to late. You reap what you sow. If this ends up making people realize that sex is biological, not imaginary, it is a good thing long term.
So, if it were a white girl, it would be OK?
Scholarships. Recognition (be a LQBT what ever gets a lot of fame in school). The coach gets a raise.
Lots of things.
‘Gender is a linguistic term’
every single word that exists is a ‘linguistic term’; and clearly you weren’t confused as to the poster’s meaning...so lecturing about said term because it defies some vague political purity is utter nonsense...
But this is not back then. It is now. The culture is not static. It is dynamic. Like it or not, the world has changed.
That said, I think it is disgusting that someone in authority is not putting a stop to this.
“If women want to be considered equal to men, then that doesn’t mean they’re just “equal” on THEIR terms. They must compete with men on EQUAL terms ... which means they’ll just have to accept losing every Connecticut track meet to a bunch of hairy dudes.”
Here’s a solution. Let the biological female athletes take steroids.
The pretender boys are thieves, no more no less.
I'm also not confused when some a$$hole refers to Jerusalem as Occupied Territory. But when fools on our side use the language of the left it helps to advance the objectives of our enemies. The late, great Bob Grant used to recommend reading the Tyranny of Words to understand this better.

Look, the lady is just signalling her intersectional virtue, okay?
yeah, that’s what I want in the hospital, a guy pretending to be a girl...come to think of it, a guy being a nurse at all is kind of revolting...
Actually, male nurses can be good. A large male nurse can handle a weakened cancer patient and other patients by himself while it generally takes two female nurses, unless very large and strong, to support under each arm to get them to the bathroom.
BTW, I own a complete 2nd Edition of the Oxford English Dictionary. (Do you even know what that is?) Here's what they say about the usage you seem not to care about:
In mod. (esp. feminist) use, a euphemism for the sex of a human being, often intended to emphasize social and cultural, as opposed to biological, distinctions between the sexes.As Rush frequently points out, words mean things. I suggest you learn how to use them.
