Moreover, there is a lack of scientific evidence that conclusively demonstrates a direct link between testosterone and athletic performance.

ROFL!
Has this fool looked at Usain Bolt's 100/200 meters world records and compared them to the women's 100/200 meters world records?
Where was this idiot when the then American then Women's soccer world champions were beaten by an under 15 boy's soccer team?

To be fair to NBC they did stick this nonsense in the opinion section... It probably represents the opinion of many of their staffers though....

I am seeing lots of memes of the woman who came in second saying things like, “Silver is the new gold.”

This is not going to end well for the NCAA or the Trans movement.

I don’t think most Americans care if a man wants to mutilate themselves. Just don’t force it on my kids. And don’t pretend you were not born a male. Life is so full of other things to worry about.

But when you obviously have the “benefits” of years of male growth don’t pretend you are “competing” with women.

When my kids were little they played soccer. From grades K-3 they played on teams made up of little boys and little girls. By the end of that third grade season, the boys were already starting to dominate—just because they were boys. It makes sense to split them into sex based teams after that.

I saw women wrestlers at the NCAA level. In this case, there were no women’s teams and they were designated in very narrow weight classes. The women performed pretty well against the men.

I saw the best place kicker in my life in a college game. She had been the goalie for the soccer team and had one hell of a leg. When she came back for grad school, she played football because she still had a year of eligibility. She could compete in that game—but had to take some hits.

Swimming is different. Very different. This guy won without even trying.

Those who oppose the inclusion of trans women in women's sports argue that trans women have an unfair competitive advantage and that as a result they will take away opportunities from cisgender athletes. According to the NCAA, these assumptions are not well founded. Moreover, there is a lack of scientific evidence that conclusively demonstrates a direct link between testosterone and athletic performance.

Then why do women and men compete separately in NCAA sports?

ANSWER: Based on this idiocy where NCAA athletes compete based on "self-identified" gender, they shouldn't compete separately anymore.

Cheryl Cooky. Cooky, no freaking less….

[Tell It Right]

I couldn't care less what Non-female Babes Competing says is real or not real.

[Alberta's Child]

I'm rooting for this dude "Lia" Thomas.

In just a few short months he has singlehandedly destroyed the idiocy of modern feminism.

If women and men are supposed to be equal in all respects, then they have no business competing separately in and taxpayer-funded scholastic sports.

#WINNING.

[BlueLancer]

By this logic, there should be no separate men’s and women’s teams. Each school should be allowed one swimming team, and only those with the best scores and times should be able to make the teams.

Then why are there male and female divisions in sports?

[mn-bush-man]

"Moreover, there is a lack of scientific evidence that conclusively demonstrates a direct link between testosterone and athletic performance."

Could they explain why the US Olympic Committee (another "WOKE" entity... with said Olympics aired on NBC of course...) specifically tests for and bans athletes who use testosterone boosting supplements and drugs?

You seriously cannot make this farcical crap up!!

[Republican Wildcat]

According to the NCAA, these assumptions are not well founded. Moreover, there is a lack of scientific evidence that conclusively demonstrates a direct link between testosterone and athletic performance.

As stupid as it gets. Then why are there separate men's and women's sports to begin with? Why can an average varsity high school boys soccer team defeat our world champion women's professional soccer team?

Also notice "testosterone" vs. having a male body.

[dfwgator]

I’m beginning to think this is all just one big troll. Even he doesn’t believe how he’s getting away with it.

[shadowlands1960]

Then why are there male and female divisions in sports?

Because we haven't evolved to the place where segregation of the sexes in sports can be done away with. Of course, once we are that evolved we will probably be enlightened enough to realize that competition is evil...it's equity that matters....

[californian by choice]

maybe he shares the same trend as Mr (Lia) Thomas

The American Psychiatric Academy agrees with you.
“Psychotic Gender Dysphoria” is still listed as an accepted diagnosis.

Yeh, until women step up and take this issue on it won’t be fixed. Moms especially need to take the lead.

:: the then American then Women’s soccer world champions were beaten by an under 15 boy’s soccer team? ::
[sarc]
Independent Fact-checkers have determined that this information is MOSTLY FALSE.
The US women’s soccer team was soundly defeated by a U16 boys team.

[the OlLine Rebel]

BARF ALERT!

OK, so now they are continuing the femiNAZI mantra that there is no difference in men and women, to push that men play-acting as women won’t have an advantage. Where is this “science”? NCAA? Hmmm?

And what of the science that tells us, unequivocally, that there are only 2 sexes, and they don’t change? Do they give a damn about that?

[bk1000]

Can we just agree to openly laugh at and mock these people incessantly? It is obvious the administrators don’t have the courage to defy a bunch of screeching leftard students. They should be removed as administrators. Who ever thought any of this was a good idea?
