Donald Trump bans transgender athletes from women's sports

Honestly, I believe it's the correct decision given the differences in biology between males and females.
I agree and so far this is the only thing I agree with him on.
Now we just have to hope that some PC/Woke/SJW judge does not block it.
Which would be ridiculous and send a message that it's fine for loser men of their sport to be taking over female sports just so they can be "winners."
And when things return back to how they should be then we have to hope that the next Dem. Prez. does not reverse this.
That it puts him on the spot and embarrasses him if he tries to.
If trans men want to compete then set it up and have them do that with each other.
I do wonder how many will go back to being men if that was the case.
Prob. a very high percentage since they would now see the risk of losing and they do not want to take that chance. -

I don't know why so many transpersons are opposed to this anyway. Seems reasonable enough, and they would be on equal footing with other trans athletes.
But perhaps you are right that the risk of losing would be too high. Playing against a woman half their size and physical strength increases the odds in their favor I suppose.

Did you just copy paste an article without summarizing it and without giving your own opinion?
Also this belongs in the politics board. Some people have that board blocked for a reason. Move it please.

Nimda moves the threads to where they should go. I'd actually like to get everyone else's opinions first.
But as I told Wildman, I feel as though the right decision has been made and why.

You don't even have thread moving abilities? That's like the most basic level of moderation. He really doesn't trust you at all 🤭, not that I'm surprised.
You should at least summarize the article instead of just copy pasting the entire thing because it shows you read it and are prepared for a discussion. At this point all you've done is copy someone else's opinion and call it your own.

Nimda is the only one who can move threads.
Yeah, he doesn't trust me AT ALL! No siree, Bob. That damn Nimda! shakes fist

Nah, I'm going to leave it like it is. I rarely edit my OPs. I mostly post them and forget about them.

It’s Bullshit!
A lot of these things he is doing, Im with him on it.
Without strife, your victory has no meaning.
Without strife, you do not advance.

It should also ban girls from competing in male sports, like girls who want to play football or baseball on traditionally male teams. Also it should ban all,coed sports.
If you can’t say something nice, say something clever but devastating. -

I don't know if you've ever participated in contact male sports, but I have. It's kind of unavoidable when growing up with brothers, but it's no cakewalk.
I played coed sports in middle and high school. In Texas, football is the big thing here, so everyone plays. Boys, girls, etc. In middle and HS we played flag football, and even then, the guys could get somewhat aggressive.
Outside of school, I played regular football with my brothers and their friends (Yes, I was a tomboy), and let me tell you, at 5'2 120 pounds at the time, going up against a 6 foot plus 180+ boy, I have gotten hurt a few times because boys tend to get overzealous during sports and they don't care about you being a girl.
If anything, it makes them go harder against you because they don't want you playing with them anyway. Yes, they went a bit easier on me after that, but it wasn't something I could do long-term without sustaining some type of injury. When I played against other girls I never got hurt. That's just a fact.
FTR, sports like volleyball and such, where there isn't a lot of physical contact, I don't have an issue with.
