How tough can it be to check boxes in a narrative playbook?
Trans eligibility rules for girls sports.
- Thread starter dad4
- Start date
You mean like CIF, ECNL, the NCAA, the USWNT, SCOTUS, a significant number of the most important female athletes in history (Billie Jean King, Megan Rapinoe, and Candace Parker Join Nearly 200 Athletes Supporting Trans Youth Participation in Sports - Women's Sports Foundation (womenssportsfoundation.org), plus the bronze medalist (at least) in the infamous Lia Thomas race?
Feel free to be dismissive all you want. Even if you label the actual reasons that actual things are actually happening a "narrative playbook", it doesn't change what is actually happening or why.
Haha…FFS…The “situation” infringed on others rights. I sincerely apologize if I have not been super clear. My apologies to you. I should go back and put “Controversy” after her name if you go back and look, which I did in one of the first posts anyway. Jesus Christ…get back in the Subaru, go to hot yoga and have a boba or chi tea. I bet you are just insufferable AF IRL. Anyway….
The problem in all these conversations seems to be that people on the extreme ends get uber emotional when talking about these things, and are intolerant. People who are more centrist seem to want to discuss, not call names, and don’t gaslight…like….YOUR a TRANSPHOBE!!! I’m not innocent with my Subaru, Sticker, and insufferable comments, but I can only take so much…it’s my mea culpa…
Don’t Misgender Lia…”Boogie Woman” since we are being tick tack.
OMFG….there is not a world we live in where a Biological Female has a Physiological advantage over a Biological Male in sports…well…except for the Biological Females ability to be a Birth Person…
Maybe we should put that in the Olympics and see how many Biological Males Qualify…Again, I already answered your question, and it is once again clear that you continue to refuse to acknowledge that cis girls also have their own advantages. Again, you only want to talk about the one factor you like and pretend that the ones that don't do not exist - because acknowledging the ones you don't forces you to admit that you deem a trophy in U14 soccer to be more important than the abuse that trans girls must suffer if they were forced to play with boys.
Well, too bad so sad. Again, CIF, ECNL, the NCAA, the USWNT, SCOTUS, a significant number of the most important female athletes in history (Billie Jean King, Megan Rapinoe, and Candace Parker Join Nearly 200 Athletes Supporting Trans Youth Participation in Sports - Women's Sports Foundation (womenssportsfoundation.org), plus the bronze medalist (at least) in the infamous Lia Thomas race, all agree with me. The mere fact that you can't acknowledge that any of them have a single legitimate reason to justify their position, no matter how many times or how exhaustively they have done so, is pretty nuts.
You were quite clear that you were pinning this on Ms. Thomas. I have been quite clear why your comments are transphobic. FFS, you can't even admit that a single legitimate reason supports a trans girl playing soccer with other girls. Instead, you must go down the rabbit hole of claiming that CIF, ECNL, the USWNT, the NCAA, SCOTUS and Ms. Thomas' own competitor are crazy. Well, the truth is they are rational and your refusal to accept that makes you transphobic.
It's interesting that you don't understand that stupid jokes like this relating to appropriate gender or pronoun are transphobic.
Are any of you transphobes out there willing to admit that a single legitimate reason supports letting a trans girl play in ECNL? I'm not asking you whether they outweigh your "men are men and women are women" argument. Are any of you willing to admit that the likely repercussions of not letting a trans girl participate - such as the likely abuse if forced to play with boys and the likely negative emotional effects of not being able to be around people with whom she associates and would be more comfortable - even constitute legitimate factors to consider in the discussion?
Hypocrite and Gaslight much…Jesus. It’s very clear that if people do not believe what you believe, your ideology, narrative etc., that others are Phobic, Racist, Intolerant, etc. Look in the mirror…I just don’t agree with you. I have a perspective and because you disagree I am all these things. It’s pretty weird.
A month ago I thought mtf athletes in rec would work. The assumption was that people would be reasonable if there was a problem.
The more EOTL posts, the more I realize that just isn't true. 99% of people might be reasonable. But the rest are like EOTL. If you ask their 6'4" trans girl to join a coed or boys leagues, they'll threaten boycotts and lawsuits until you let their safety hazard go break someone's arm.

Because the legal rationale for the balance was men and women were equal and entitled to equal shares. If one is for everyone (men women non-binary mtf ftm genetically different) and one is a special lesser protected category for women, you just knocked out the stool on which that equality rests. There’s nothing that says it must be proportional then.
Don't they already use proportionality?
You seem to be arguing in favor of a conflict which has already been resolved. We know how to apply Title IX to a school with a 70/30 gender split. Figuring out how to extend that to handle a three way split isn't particularly difficult.
The proportionality is based on a starting point that if you have a 50/50 gender split at a school then 50% goes to the men and 50% go to the women. The assumption is they are equivalent. But if you have an open division it doesn’t have to be proportional. Why? Well for starters it’s open so inclusive of women who want to play in the men’s division. Open means it’s for everyone while the closed women’s division is only for women who elect to be protected. The same rational btw applies to why there isn’t proportionality for the disabled categories (they aren’t considered equivalent). It’s no longer about men and women being equal. There’s everyone else and there’s the sealed restricted women’s category. You might assign them proportionally. You could argue that’s how they should be treated. But legally the original rational is gone because it rests on the assumption notwithstanding at that time that men’s sports was more popular and there were more male athletes, that they should be treated equivalently.
meh my sons at the time 4 10 friend was safety hazzarded by a 6 fter. My then 80 pound niece was once plowed down by a 120 mountain of goalkeeper on a 1v1 the gk slid through her (everyone called for a foul but the dumb dumb parents didn’t understand it was a fair tackle). Crushes little girl squeeked when she was shoulder checked by a girl twice her size that tried to play the player instead of the ball.
I agree there’s a safety concern in soccer caused by kids of unusual size. Until we start signaling out all the safety hazards, cry me a river.
Can't say I agree 100% with your lawyer work there, Lou.
Title IX does not mandate a balance of results, it just bans discrimination "on the basis of sex". You can look it up..

I actually agree, but that’s not how the admin state has chosen to interpret it, as dad4 correctly points out. Further eotl has correctly pointed out scotus already ruled on the point with respect to title vii so would be trickle to distinguish title ix.
When all the schools that award 50 or 80 scholarships to football players also award 50 to 80 scholarships to women's flag football players, then we can talk about "balance".

Yeah, that's what we need in society - less face-to-face interaction under the guise of health concerns. By far the biggest health concern now is mental health and yet we facilitate hypochondriacs and promote isolation.

I guarantee you at least one of them is, "If you're not outraged, you're not paying attention." - maybe all 5.5.
