It’s funny because you’re so close to understanding why sports aren’t fair right here. There’s all kinds of diseases, mutations, nutrition, upbringing, etc. that have bearing on the results of competition but you’ve chosen this random line in the sand of trans athletes to get up in arms about, wonder why that is? I wonder why Lebron spends 1.5 million on his body annually, look how fair we are guys!
Sports are of course both fair and unfair. But i find your example hilarious. LeBron James? Ah yes, the boy raised in a shithole, dirt poor by a single mother, but happened to both be exceptional at both working at his craft AND was lucky with the gene lottery.
There isn’t a better example of the greatness of sport, but you try to twist it to be a negative 😂
It’s as far from a random line in the sand as can be. Born men are not to compete against women. As long as there has existed womens sport, this rule exists implicitly, by definition.
This is how you started the conversation but all of a sudden I’m being condescending.

But they only get to be unfair the in the ways that you decide right?

Never said it was a negative, just trying to assess why some parts of sports get to be allowed in your definition of fair and unfair. I can give you a laundry list of the reasons why the NBA isn’t fair but I know this really has nothing to do with fairness for you. It’s odd how someone touting the greatness of sports is also a proponent of disqualifying some people from participating.

We’ve always done it this way! What a great reason to keep doing something and never reflect and change for the better!

Ye, it was a made up scenario completely irrelevant to the pic.

Nope. Just by random chance in genes or by agreed upon rules. And a vast majority seems to agree that born men shouldn’t be allowed in the womens division. Seems pretty cut and dry.

There is nothing to reflect on. Other than maybe having a trans-only category. If anyone would care to have one. Trans are already allowed to compete in the open category, aka mens.
Or you could remove womens sport all together, as that seems to be what you’re implying. Something i would be vehemetely against
Cool, I’m done with the cherry picking here. Have fun with your completely “fair” sports untainted by the presence of those game breaking trans athletes.
Guarantee that you don’t. I know that from how you talk about sports. The fact that you try to shoehorn the only logical fallacy that you know the name of is telling of your intention to just antagonize without any analysis or thought.

Please loose the condescending tone.

Thanks. Keep your politics out of the sports that you don’t even like.
I guarantee you I support and care more about women’s sports than you do but keep teeing off on these straw men, it makes you look really strong.

Here’s you being too stupid to understand an obvious joke. That’s an example of antagonizing without analysis or thought.
