Pokebball Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 16 minutes ago, Joe Ferguson forever said: It matters. Marsha Blackburn wants to ignore them or just pretend they don't exist https://www.usatoday.com/story/life/health-wellness/2022/03/24/marsha-blackburn-asked-ketanji-jackson-define-woman-science/7152439001/ I'm not in Blackburn's head so I'll not speak for her. Neither side is against allowing those that want to compete, to compete. One side believes women's competition is the appropriate place for these XY anomalies (allow me the flexibility to use that term, but I'm open to whatever you or any others want to use) to compete. The other side believes doing so presents an unfair advantage to XX athletes. We shouldn't conflate the desire to protect women's athletes and women's sports as being any more than just that.

So anytime somebody is unhappy that they lost, they can just accuse their opponent of being a man and if enough people online fall for it, they can force a genital check on their opponent? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackburn's trope was well worn by R's. Not just sports but restrooms etc. It's apparently an issue of vital importance to you all. 12 minutes ago, Doc said: That's why I said medical exam which means history and physical and blood (genetic, testosterone level) test. Cool. So no ultrasound. The 4X100 mixed relay run was incredible. watch if haven't seen. Edited August 4 by Joe Ferguson forever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One complaint by a competitor? No. Repeated complaints? Yes. The number of complainants can be negotiable. And you're acting like this is onerous. These athletes get poked and prodded all the time. 2 minutes ago, Joe Ferguson forever said: Cool. So no ultrasound. No, that was implied since I mentioned it originally. And why not? It's non-invasive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orlando Buffalo Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 3 hours ago, ChiGoose said: From the study I had linked: ”Detailed evidence is presented here for the first time that genes for stature (and possibly other genes) on the Y chromosome are responsible for the increased frequency of 46,XY disorder of sex development (46,XY DSD) among elite female athletes identified by eligibility tests. In many cases, androgens are non-functional or, alternatively, absent and therefore tes- tosterone cannot be responsible for their athletic success. Genetic variation has a major role in the selection of individuals for training and success in competition; how- ever, this variation is not grounds for determining who should compete in athletic events. There is no convincing evidence to support the view that hyperandrogenism is associated with performance advantage in female athletes.” Are you arguing that a Y chromosome is not an indicator of higher muscle mass? Or are you simply arguing that a situation that has almost no research does not show a compelling amount of data? This literally might be your dumbest post ever.

Well, I suppose we should encourage Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and other Silicon Valley types to use the power of their platforms to artificially amplify any complaints against anyone who beats an American woman athlete so they have to get tested. Would be a good way to intimidate our opponents. Should this be only for the Olympics or should we do it for other competitions as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m arguing that it’s obviously not clear cut and the Y chromosome in women with some conditions doesn’t act the same way that it does in men and doesn’t necessarily provide a competitive advantage. If your concern is muscle mass, you can test for that. Same with testosterone. Why not test directly for the advantage you are concerned with?

Your argument is that since some men are not muscular we should allow them to compete with women, but only weak women? Why are you pretending this is difficult, Y chromosome means you compete with men. This line is not arbitrary, and it is fair to all, your line is stupid and would likely remove the Williams sisters from the women's side because you are a stupid coward. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So you think that someone who is born a woman, with female genitalia, should have to compete against men if they have a Y chromosome even if their testosterone and muscle mass is in line with typical females?

These types of allegations happen so seldomly. And I'd say competitions from middle school on up. Until they create transgender leagues. 41 minutes ago, Joe Ferguson forever said: hmmm...because it won't aid in determining gender?
