    It’s not. At a tiny judo tournament we had this weekend we handed out a 100 medals. Those numbers are minuscule.

    Again even if ever trans person played competitive sports there will never be enough to seriously threaten women’s sports.

    This is the poster case of the Right overblowing an issue to stoke fear.

    Tell the women who have been affected by this. Most of them disagree with your attempted mansplaining.

    I again said at the beginning of the thread that these decisions should be left to the leagues. Its interesting how those who claim to not want big government are pushing for a government involvement rather than leave it to leagues to decide their rules of competition.

    And that was the purpose of this thread: to ask the question of "to what extent should society accept people for who they are in their brain?" Where do you draw the line?

    You said that "society has come a long way, but still has a long way to go" ... well, where exactly are we going? If you draw a picture of "social acceptance of transgender people", what does that picture look like? Right now, the answer to this is VERY subjective. And how are we supposed to approach that definition if we don't have conversations like this?

    Although some posts in this thread have been aggressive, there are people here who provide valid reasons of why they answer the question in the way they do, and who demonstrate the negative impacts of answering otherwise.

    There was a no conversation going on.

    Bad faith framing on a niche subject to deflect from real issues like cartel like practices for rent pricing is not going to create meaningful discussions about trans people.

    That's the problem. When one side is doing bad faith grifting because of a combination of generating clocks and understanding it's more politically expedient to do this culture wars nonsense than talk about lets say... Healthcare policies you aren't going to generate meaningful conversations.

    My son was lucky enough to win a night at Carnagie Hall with JK Rowling when she released the Deathly Hallows. JK said my son looked like Harry Potter was supposed to look on the book cover. she was nice enough to give him 2 signed copies of her book instead of one. He put one in the safety deposit box and has always kept the other on a drawer not to be touched. My son recently wanted a new car and decided to sell one of the copies to a gentleman in Scotland. For..... get this, $4,000.00 bucks. It's a first edition signed and with a special hologram for provenance from the event.
    Prices are rising, not going down.
    PS the bottom is my son Austin, that Harry was supposed to look like.
