She’s completely right in the new interview about sports.


That trans women should not be allowed to participate in female sports.

As an Olympic medal winner she has more say than any of us.

reply


Sure they should be allowed. If conservatives are against something, it's got to be allowed.

I say end all gender specific sports. One team, man, woman, polygendered, non-gendered, etc. can play. Let the best man, er, person make the team.

In public funded sports programs, this will save a ton of money. I'm with the libbies on this one at least.

Go for it and watch female sport vanish overnight.

reply

I don't see the problem with that.

Women deserve to have their own league with fair chances.

reply

You missed the point. If you don't create male and female versions of every sport you don't lose any more female sports than you do male sports because there are neither any more just sports. In that way for a marathon anyone can enter the contest no matter what gender they are... Now the reality is that in most sports there would be no female winner, hell in lots of sports there would be no female participants because they wouldn't make the cut. We would basically be the way were were a century or so ago. The current system where we have female basketball and female this that and the other was all done because women couldn't compete with men and win.

Don't forget steroids and genetic enhancements! Pretty soon robots will have human rights.

reply

Yeah sports are segregated for a good reason. If it will be just people vs. people, then the winners will always be (biological) males. So yeah pretty much would ruin female sports.

reply

Well said and the whole point 👍🏻

reply

WOMEN JUST DONT HAVE THE SAME UPPER BODY STRENGTH AS MEN...IT IS WHAT IT IS...I SUPPORT EVERYONE'S RIGHTS AS INDIVIDUALS...BUT THE SCIENCE OF THIS ISSUE JUST DOESNT WORK.

reply

Yet the precedent was set in allowing Oscar Pistorius to compete in the regular men's 400m at the Olympics.

reply

No gender involved with that one.

reply

True but that's not the point.

The moment the Olympics allowed Pistorius to compete they confirmed that athletics wasn't simply about pure sport but of celebrating society and it's diversity.

Once you allow someone with carbon fibre limbs to compete against normal limbed bodies, it's an entertainment event rather than pure sports. Therefore how can you then make a standing argument against transgenders running in women's events?

reply

Because in International competition, you know damn well the Russians and Chinese are going to cheat and stack their teams with a bunch of Female trans athletes.

reply

Well Putin surrounded by the triumphant retuning team of Russian trans athletes is surely something we'd all appreciate seeing...

reply

She's fake pandering like all politicians. She agreeing with the majority people to get her a spot to be running for governor

reply

Even if she is she’s still right.

reply

I don't think she has an "agenda" like most politicians. She's speaking what she really believes as an ex-athlete, not pandering to the Republican party.

The Republican party is not pro-LGBTQ, so if anything, she's going against the political norm.

That's pretty much of a BS argument, not a problem, not an issue.

It's such common sense, drives me crazy. It doesn't matter that the left claims there are "no known cases where the trans participant has had an advantage".

Doesn't matter. What do we do when it DOES HAPPEN?

Female DNA is your ticket into Female sports. Period. There is no grey area. Born with a vagina, you can compete on the uneven bars.
