The debate over competition of transgender individuals in sports with persons of their opposite, biological “assigned” sex at birth has been gaining traction over the past few years, but particularly since President Biden’s executive order allowing transgender individuals to play on sports teams of their choosing.
While the notion of substantial physical differences between biological men and biological women is obvious to most, a deep physiological analysis can further help us to better understand the differences between the sexes and, therefore, how forcing the two sexes to physically compete can be harmful, particularly to women.
It is a scientific fact that humans, like all other mammals, have one male and one female parent. The result of mammalian mating produces offspring that are either male or female. There are no other sexes or genders.
There is also no denying the fact that males and females have unchangeable and distinct physical and psychological characteristics.
One such distinction is the structure of their skeletal systems. While it is commonly known that women generally have larger pelvic regions for birthing and men generally have more pronounced shapes in the jawline of the skull, the differences go deeper than that.
Sexual differences in bone structure emerge during adolescence. The development of one’s skeletal system is influenced primarily by the increase of hormones and, to a lesser extent, by nutritional intake. For males, the increase of testosterone and IGF-1 (insulin growth factor) causes rapid muscle mass and strength growth. For women, their increase in estrogen provides bone minerals and higher increase in bone mass in relation to muscle mass.

A deep physiological analysis is pointless. It's not that they don't know the differences. It's that they don't care. The whole point is to blow up the system.
Equestrian sports seem fairly equal. :)
Trans should be institutionalized or culled. There is nothing but destruction there.
Not all ladies are five foot two, eyes of blue.
For ladies who want to compete on the same playing field as men, I say let them go for it.
Same rules, no concessions.
Let the best competitor win.
The spirit of antichrist impelling the left doesn’t actually want Science, they want their Magic Thinking validated. Of course, since it is magic thinking any magic that soothes the death in their spirit will do for their agenda.
I honestly could care less if some psychologically damaged man wants to wear a dress and makeup and pretend to be a girl. But don’t ruins womens sports over him!
Can Men And Women Compete Athletically? NO
Why are there two different scoring charts on PT tests?

Fox was challenging Tamikka Brents at CCCW (Capital City Cage Wars) event, where the 45-year-old fighter brutally defeated her American opponent. The fight lasted just over two minutes after the referee was forced to halt the contest.
Brents received seven staples to her head, and also suffered a concussion. She was overpowered by Fox to an extent that even the orbital bone inside her skull was fractured.

If you know sport, you know this beyond a reasonable doubt: there is an average 10-12% performance gap between elite males and elite females. The gap is smaller between elite females and non-elite males, but it’s still insurmountable and that’s ultimately what matters. Translating these statistics into real world results, we see, for example, that:
Just in the single year 2017, Olympic, World, and U.S. Champion Tori Bowie’s 100 meters lifetime best of 10.78 was beaten 15,000 times by men and boys. (Yes, that’s the right number of zeros.)
The same is true of Olympic, World, and U.S. Champion Allyson Felix’s 400 meters lifetime best of 49.26. Just in the single year 2017, men and boys around the world outperformed her more than 15,000 times.
Table 1 spells it out, pretty clearly.
“I honestly could care less if some psychologically damaged man wants to wear a dress and makeup and pretend to be a girl. But don’t ruins womens sports over him!”
That is the problem. It NEVER ends there. The gays just wanted to be left alone, and 20 years later you risk losing your business if you refuse to bake two men a wedding cake. The time for tolerance has past. We have seen what it gets us. Time to cull the herd.
Nope.
“Why are there two different scoring charts on PT tests?”
As of October 2020, there no longer are in the Army. The changed to the new six event Army Combat Fitness Test, with no more gender or age categories.
“For ladies who want to compete on the same playing field as men, I say let them go for it.
Same rules, no concessions.”
That’s NOT the issue. The problem is biological men competing on the same playing field as women.
Why is that a problem?
The female spider actually gets the better of it, since most female spiders, kill and eat their males suitors after fertilization.
When she whispers to him that she knows he is only interested in one thing, they both know she REALLY means it.
I read your reply wrong.
Yes, that is a problem.
Another one is that women’s sports are boring.
Sorry, that’s an imbecilic question unworthy of wasting the time on an answer.
Not anymore. Science has changed that.
