By that logic, under the current system, the best men's team is also the best team. The only difference with my system is you don't have to tell people they're wrong about their own gender. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People must buy tickets and sponsors must invest money. This idea of yours will have all the men and likely very few TG's in the top division, most of the TG's and very few women in the middle division and most of the women and very few TG's in the bottom division. Too complicated. Much easier and harder to be deceptive through under performing in qualifications is a xy and a yy league. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one is telling people they're wrong about their own gender, they're saying you're not the gender that this team is comprised of. People don't make teams for all kinds of reasons. This is just one of them. Demanding to be included in a team you don't qualify for opens the door for endless complaints from everyone else who has ever been turned down. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just need to get away from the idea that 'Team A' is the best. Problem being when it involves the USA. Competitiveness is a national pastime. Everyone wants to be, or watch, or idolize, the best. Thus the A team will always get the most media and most fame. And the most dollars. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No test is going to be able to account for all the differences in stamina recovery rate, bone structures, muscle to fat ratio, etc. Which leads to injuries and general unfair competition. For example men's upper bodies is often much stronger regardless of if a women runs the same speed for a short amount of time. That would lead to many injuries. I basically agree with your second point, but we're dealing with "fairness" as determined by PC Culture. The whole point would be it is "Fair", given we need to include all 999 genders. As to the first point, the same can be said of people who grew up in, say, the Andes of South America. They'd have greater lyng capacity. And of people who grew up on a working farm, who may have greater bone density. We cant eliminate every variable. Its never going to be completely fair. Some people will have millions of dollars to train, while others will have none. If any person who competes in a specific sport, and accepts the risks, and has comparable skills, they should be able to compete together fairly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Secondly, why on earth would the heavier/stronger division have to be seen as the best one. Is a featherweight champion worse than a heavyweight one? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Literally the exact same thing. Not at all. Using that interpretation would mean that everyone is wrong about their gender because men don't qualify for the women's team and women don't qualify for the men's. Not qualifying doesn't mean you're wrong about anything, just that you don't meet the standard. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's true, you can't eliminate every variable and it's not practical to try. Seperating between male and female ,and then within those two groups seperating based on skill, is the most effective way to account for the broadest form of physical differences to keep things competitive and fair. If you start splitting base upon every variable, one, you will run out of enough players to even have sport teams and leagues, but two you would also have to create some convoluted test process and require highschool, clubs, and universities to administers those test. A lot of physical traits require medical samples and exams, cost money and time. Edited February 19, 2020 by spartan max2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spartan max2 Posted February 19, 2020 #214 Share Posted February 19, 2020 In the medical world we use the term trans-women in your files because we accept that it is relevant to their physical state and has medical implications. Which is why it's relevant to this topic, the physical differences. I have no issues calling a trans-women a women in other topics. But in this topic is it obviously a relevant distenction. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XenoFish Posted February 19, 2020 #215 Share Posted February 19, 2020 It's called body dysmorphic disorder. I have a trans kids. And no matter how much someone mutilates their body, pumps themselves full of chemicals and hormones. They will never be what they believe themselves to be. Apparently we are now in a society where feelings are considered facts and anyone can pretend to be anything they wish. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerBright19 Posted February 19, 2020 #216 Share Posted February 19, 2020 If people can freely gender hop, then does that mean we can freely change our own race and species, because the choice is ours alone to make? This guy wants to be a penguin. Should his personalized identity be accepted. If not, why not? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gender dsyphoria disorder was removed from the DSM in 2013, the same way being gay was removed from the DSM in 1975. Body dsymorphic disorder isnt a synonym of gender dsyphoria, it's a different thing. You will have just as much luck trying to treat trans as a disorder as treating gay as a disorder. Conversation therapy didn't help gay people. Acting like trans is a disorder won't help trans. Transgender brains act different. It's a generic thing like being gay so it should be treated with acceptance just like how it is commonly accepted to treat being gay as natural. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/05/180524112351.htm Quote Brain activity and structure in transgender adolescents more closely resembles the typical activation patterns of their desired gender, according to new research. The findings suggest that differences in brain function may occur early in development and that brain imaging may be a useful tool for earlier identification of transgenderism in young people Edited February 19, 2020 by spartan max2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or are these all things that you naturally feel because of the genetics you were born with? It's no different for everyone else, even trans people. It's just the way they are born feeling.

Even according to the WHO there are only two genders falling in the spectrum of xy and yy chromosomes. There are minute variations within that but each assigned as one or the other. You are defying science. I suppose that man has no effect on the climate as well? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
