Comment on Do you allow transphobic mods?

  OK let’s replace trans with another group let’s use men as an example. “We can’t have men compete with women because of the clear advantage in physicality” is this sentence fine?

    Yes. Look into the history of the first woman to run the Boston Marathon and how people believed that the jostling of the running would kill a woman. That is the world that allowed women’s sports only as it’s own category. Some sports like tennis it might make sense on a competitive compromise. But to apply that thinking to high-school sport, which is more about community than competition, it is just clear exclusion.

    What clear advantage? Men and women on average have different body structures, yes. That might favour one in one sport and one in another. The blanket statement “men have a clear advantage in every sport over women” is BS.

      That would be a stupid thing to say. Except your the only one who said it cos I sure as shit didn’t say every.

      Nice strawman.

    It’s just so mind-boggling to me that you can respond to my statement with no critical thinking at all. Do you not even consider the possibility that you could be wrong? I can’t even process that level of arrogance.

      I absolutely contemplated the the situation that I could be wrong I then went and read a bunch of peer reviewed journals on the subject including ones sent to me by people here on Lemmy. Then based on reading those articles concluded that I was not wrong.

      You my friend are the one too arrogant to contemplate if you are wrong.

        Well, if you read “a bunch” of articles seen by a “peer” I guess I was wrong, good point.
