Why bring this up when it does not happen in the SEC?
Because if this continues in other parts of the country, it is just a matter of time until it happens in the SEC.

Yes trying to stop liberal actions that are straight from the pits of hell.
Easy to see what side your type is on.

This “issue” is so weird to watch. It started as a political talking point; something to make hay over for politicians, to galvanize their base. Now a lot of dudes have decided to take advantage and become top-tier athletes, against women.
I go to high school track meets a lot and I see men and women, doing the same events, and there is not one event a woman beats a man in. Well, several years ago our school produced an Olympic pole vaulter and I’m pretty sure she kicked the crap out of the guys in that but that’s the 0.01%

That’s policed at the Olympic level and has been for eons, long before trans people became an issue. There’s a range of high testosterone in women that’s acceptable for competition but biological women who exceed that due to medical conditions or just because they naturally produce above the limit have to either take something to suppress their levels or not participate. That is how track and field has handled things.

The trans shite won’t last much longer. Even gay people are getting sick of their shite and trying to make everything LBGTq+ against the world

So, if that’s done for the Olympics, what do people expect college & lower to do?
I personally think it’s a grey area if you NATURALLY produce above a certain limit to be forced to suppress it or not participate. How is that fair to that individual?
For example, my roommate always had high blood pressure (according to charts), however that was NORMAL for his body.

Tyson needs to stick to subjects he actually knows about. He has tried to
position himself as some sort of social and cultural commentator and expert on all things. If he wants to pontificate about astrophysics, fine. As to any other subject, I don’t really care what he thinks. He has no particular expertise in other subjects, and sometimes no common sense.

Testosterone is a super drug when it comes to athletics. At certaIn levels it’s just too big of an advantage. Sports teams and governing bodies can’t concern themselves with what’s fair for the individual at the expense of what is fair for 99 percent of the participants. That’s the fundamental problem trans women are running up against. It’s not fair for them individually to be excluded but it’s also not fair to the rest of the field to include them in a lot of sports.
Trans policy had been based on Olympic standards for a long time where if testosterone levels are at a certain level for long enough they could participate (just like the bio women who produce testosterone above even high levels for women). While suppressing testosterone works with high testosterone producing women and equalizes competition it turns out that just going on blockers and taking estrogen isn’t quite enough for trans women because the gains they enjoy from going through male puberty remain compared to biological women.
I’m sure as the science gets better there may be better solutions and maybe even more reversals of policy but at the moment that’s where we are. Right now, it’s just not as easy as putting a weighted blanket on a horse to handicap a race.
The issue would make better progress towards resolution if it weren’t a political football but it is and both the science and politics of it will suffer for it.

Really stupid question, but the answer is of course not. There are lesbians in sports that by all external appearances have more testosterone than other females. But they still have less testosterone than a biological male.

It's a non-issue for anyone who isn't paranoid.
Would I want a sports body to have the ability to make a ruling on trans eligibility? Sure. But something that should be happening at the sports body level. This issue should be handled with one off lawsuits at most, not some hammer that profits off of demonizing kids who have troubles to begin with.
It has nothing to do with being "paranoid". The likelihood of my daughter pitching against a biological male is virtually zero while she's in school in Texas.
We do agree that the lawsuits that have been required to protect the definitions of scientific terms , "male" and "female" (which since the dawn of time has required little more than common sense until this latest push by liberal extremists) has resulted in an extreme suck of time, resources, and money.
Most people in this country have a live and let live mentality. If anyone feels they are being "demonized" it is due to a small group of liberals trying to force feed a completely illogical agenda to a majority of us who prefer logic and common sense. And by the way it's not the gay community; the gays I've spoken to resent being looped in to this whole discussion, and agree that it is both insane and criminal to give a hormone-changing therapy, let a biological male into a female restroom, or let a man play women's sports.
I feel for any kid or family who is having to deal with this, but it doesn't mean they have the right to impose this onto society, nor is it right to "demonize" those who may hold viewpoints that differ from their own.

No they haven't. The very few lawsuits that have attempted to enforce fairness in the instance of a trans female participating in female sports.
There have been more against moronic, laughably overbroad state laws that are designed to punish trans kids and don't remotely take into consideration the small, and very manageable problem.
