    Why don’t we see any stories about trans men winning anything?

    Because again that would be biological men winning women. That’s not even news worthy unless it’s a man going to beat women.

    Do you support biological males competing as a female?

    No, it doesn't. Intersex people, or hermaphrodites as they used to be called, are still predominately one sex. Meaning one sex is more prevalently obvious than the other. It is never just 50/50. Additionally, as you noted earlier, they only make up 1.7% of the worlds population. Which means here in the states they number even less. Last I saw they number about .02 to .05 percent of the US population. The rest is nothing more than "I feel" mentality. There is absolutely NO valid reason to overturn a system that has been established and has worked for decades based on such a small population. Even less of a valid reason to do so based on feelings. Add onto it if you wish. Make a separate category meant for both men and women, then such distinctions would not matter. But to claim it doesn't affect women in womens sports when men pretend to be women to get that title, award, recognition, etc etc...that's just BS and has been shown multiple times, and you seem to dismiss.

    The NYPost has actually been around longer than the NYTimes and has a far more accurate historical record than the NYTimes. But you do you boo. At the very least you could always do the responsible thing and verify rather than dismiss out of hand just because you dislike what you perceive as their political alignment. But I guess that would be too much to ask from someone who only listens to one side and one side only. Creating a bias just by doing so. Guess you never heard the phrase "there's always two sides to a story".

    The only ones that are complaining about birth gender are the ones that feel like they don't match their birth gender. And then they demand that everyone adhere to what they feel about their birth gender. My answer to that? No.

    Well... I guess there is one thing. Men are proving that men are even better at being women, that women.

    Here. Allow me to help you.

    You’re welcome.

    (Could be slight differences because it really depends on the SRY gene being present and not necessarily the Y chromosome. However while the SRY gene is universal the Y chromosome is ALMOST universal so it’s close enough)

    I think women athletes can fix it for themselves. They should refuse to participate in any sporting event in which a man is allowed to compete. The short term would destructive to women's sports but the long term should solve the problem.

    Could it be that the silence of feminists regarding men in women's sports and in other events indicates that they are simply contrary to reason and common sense. And womanhood or women's rights was just a way to get their foot in the door to disrupt the national grace and tranquility. So they never cared about women as much as they did about disrupting the nation and order of things. Clearly then, their cause and words were all a lie designed to deceive and corrupt. And men in women's sports is a pleasantry to them as a wedge to the natural order, an icing on the cake. Where their enemy's enemy is their friend... then they align as it were with Satan against God, advancing in lies and deceit, corrupting what they can. On the other hand, God is plain and true. There is man and woman, male and female. Virginity and chastity are the baseline and benchmark of human sexuality. Marriage is between a man and a woman. Children should be conceived and born in Marriage. That makes the family and the foundation of society. These simple truths are a stumbling block to feminists and to the general sexually deviant movement. They hate, mock, and dismiss it in their insatiable quest for human souls. So God takes what is his and relinquishes to the devil the devils due, according to the choices of the people.

    I grew up believing that our people and nation would always be good if not bettered in holding to common values. But I was wrong. There is an apportioning taking place on the table. And it would appear that goodness is losing in numbers. So as God relinquishes the portions without intercession, then so will I. And not because I'm righteous, but because I'm not. Only God is righteous. So I will follow the truth, as freedom is first an obligation to the truth more than the right which attends to it. What is true freedom if not to love the truth. And what is the love of truth but to love God. If our hearts do not go to God, then they go elsewhere. If we are shameless and live not in appeal to Gods mercy, then tribulation will overtake us and we'll have nowhere to turn for a salve. As Americans, we'd do well to remember that our lives in freedom are a gift from God. Many would say that such talk is ludicrous and there is no God. They don't want to be reminded of duty. So they bellow the boisterousness of sloth. The plain truth disturbs them. My religious liberty and free speech are a bane to theirs. But they are fine with lies and the devils embrace. They leap to the fore and spout the first amendment like a fire and brimstone preacher from his Bible. But what has either to do with the plain truth that God lives, and is as real as the wickedness in which our nation is immersed and intoxicated.

    Would this happen to be the same Tessa Johnson who came in 14 out of 20 just a week later at Trek CX cup?

    Of course it is. Just because you don't want to believe that God would allow this, it does not mean the He wouldn't.

    Which they do every single time until called out on it. They do it with the homosexuals as well, concentrating on the male homosexuals, and ignoring the female ones. I haven't figured out what their obsession with males are. Yes, obsession!

    Exactly what rights are Democrats supposedly removing? We can point to the removal of bodily autonomy rights easily with Republicans (overall, some exceptions apply). And it's not just abortion since many are trying to allow prosecution for miscarriages, as has happened in other countries, as well as the prevention of birth control methods, from devices to medicines.

    Yes?
    And?
    How does that do anything to explain to those that there's only XX or XY.
    They think living things are binary.
    which clearly, they are not.

    Depends on what you are basing the sex on. Many members here claim male means XY, not penis. Thus even without the SRY, they will be male.

    They’re saying that because of a misunderstanding that most people believe the Y chromosome is what determines sex. It’s not. It’s the SRY gene on the Y chromosome. However in 99.99999% of the cases having a Y chromosome means you have the SRY gene. So it’s understandable.

    Which is one of the reason why I say that the sports have to be based on ability, and not sex or gender. If trans women/girls really are that much above cis women/girls, then they will end up in the same groupings as the cis men/boys and, by claims of the trans opponents, the trans men/boys.
