Calm down chester, you've ignored your own hypocrisy for a while now.
Trans eligibility rules for girls sports.

We both agree on this issue. Look fellas, you can be a girl if you want. However, you don't get to ball or run against the females born that way and you sure in the heck can't shower and use the same bathrooms. You crossed a big red line and you need to back away from this.
I think the added testosterone testing only applies to athletes with DSD. Those are rare, and XY. It's a very narrow special case.Two more shoes have dropped:
1. World Athletics (covering running events and track and field) have adopted a ban. As I previously noted, this makes most sense in the racing events at the highest levels. The article notes, however, that its not necessarily a permanent ban. That's a nod to the situation FINA now finds itself in. Just banning them from the female divisions causes a large degree of problems under legal systems in both Europe and North America so you have to come up with an alternative where they can play, but even for racing it's hard. Also note they raised the standards for the DSD athletes (those are the ones with high hormonal imbalances)....collateral damage. This is all coming to a head a lot sooner than I thought it would You guys might very well get your wish of getting them banned at least from the individual sport, but it will come with collateral prices such as more rigorous testing of the hormonal levels of female athletes and a loss of scholarships to transfer to new divisions.

World Athletics bans transgender female athletes

2. Speaking of collateral prices, West Virginia's ban was struck down by the 4th Circuit (on the grounds that the Supreme Court has already extended Title VII to trans individuals, and this is the same circuit that came down with the disability test). West Virginia has appealed to the Supreme Court. The most likely outcome I think is the Supreme Court refuses to hear it. They are kind of in a sticky wickett that the Rs largely support the ban, but at the same time SCOTUS has already extended title VII protection to trans individuals, so they will have to come up with a way to distinguish title IX. Again, this is a be careful what you wish for moment because due to the equal protection clause of the Constitution, dump the trans athletes (regardless of the direction they are moving) into the m division is problematic if it leaves them without a viable place to play, and the conservatives have been hostile to title IX to begin with (which is the same title from which all the school sexual harassment and DEI cases arise from). You may very well get the ruling you want re trans athletes, but wind up having to pay a collateral price for it. Handing over title ix for review to this particular SCOTUS (given in particular what happened with Kavanaugh and his feelings towards these sexual harassment inquiries) is playing with a live grenade.
West Virginia to ask Supreme Court to allow transgender girls sports ban
A law that prevents transgender girls from participating in girls' sports was blocked by lower court.www.cnbc.com
Not much risk of it being extended to T limits on your average XX female athlete. If they do that, it will be to discover doping.
Love it... one day at a time. Soon this bullshit will be over completely.

The shameful persecution of Posie Parker in New Zealand
This is what it must have been like when women were marched to the stake. Yesterday in Auckland the British women’s rights campaigner Posie Parker found herself surrounded by a deranged, heaving mob. She had tomato soup and placards thrown in her face. She was doused with water. Huge men...

The events in Auckland should be a wake-up call for liberals everywhere. We glimpsed the iron fist of authoritarianism that lurks in the velvet glove of ‘Be Kind’. The misogynistic streak in trans extremism is undeniable now. Watch enraged men kicking down metal barriers so that they might get closer to the witch Posie and tell me this isn’t sexism masquerading as radicalism. Witness the crowing of men who are delighted that the mob made the ‘coward TERF’ run away and tell me this isn’t chauvinism on steroids. Behold the use of megaphones and expletive-laden chants and physical menace to silence a woman and tell me this isn’t a sexist, censorious crusade against women’s freedom of speech.

ESPN honors trans-identified male swimmer Lia Thomas for Women’s History Month
"People will say, 'Oh, she just transitioned so she would have an advantage so she could win.' I transitioned to be happy."
The segment stated, “In 2022, swimmer Lia Thomas became the first transgender athlete to win an NCAA Division I Championship by winning the 500 Freestyle. The Texas native competed for three seasons on the men’s swim team at the University of Pennsylvania.”
Twelve-time All-American female swimmer Riley Gaines slammed the sports network for airing the segment promoting a biological male during ESPN’s feature “Celebrating Women’s History Month.”
Gaines wrote on Twitter, “Lia Thomas is not a brave, courageous woman who EARNED a national title. He is an arrogant, cheat who STOLE a national title from a hardworking, deserving woman.”

Psycho tranny shoots up a school in Nashville. Yeah... they just want to be accepted and treated like everyone else.
HE transitioned to have an advantage. Otherwise, HE would have just transitioned and quit the sport because it's the right thing to do.
