Mamdani won the House minority leader's district by double digits in New York City's Democratic mayoral primary, prompting one critic to ask, "Do those voters not matter?"
I did mean teen sports and previously exposed to high levels of testosterone athletes.
well then there’s 2 parts here
adult athletes: nobody is really politically talking about this from what i can tell… the conversation is all about kids sports, because that’s the only thing that politics has any power to control
teen sports: okay, well again as i said in my post, this is a non-issue… why preemptively bar a whole class of people for an issue that just isn’t actually happening?
applies to all cases here: you seem to think transitioning is something people would just do to win a game… i really dont think that’s actually the case (and id argue your lia thomas example kinda proves that: nobody is transitioning to win, otherwise we’d see men ranked 50th, 70th, etc transitioning and winning)
It’s not an imagined problem. Lia Thomas ranked 554th in 200 freestyle as a male and won 500 freestyle after transition.
so, what, you’re trans therefore you’re just not allowed to play sports any more?
but that’s not even relevant really… in the context that matters politically - kids sports - it’s absolutely an imagined problem
and if we were more accepting of people being trans without repercussions, maybe people would start transitioning before puberty and then, again, this wouldn’t be a problem… the problem here is transphobia causing people to fight against being themselves because of societal pressure
Easy solution: if you’re trans and you transition after puberty, go into the open division. There is actually no such thing as men’s sports.
Lia Thomas was a college athlete at the time. Why are you specifically saying kids sports? Every right wing talking point is grown “men” playing in women’s sports. You’re not addressing the other side’s argument. Nobody ever complained about 1st graders
