It kind of boils down to the fact that the opposing sides don't agree on the definition of a woman. It's hard to agree with people on complex issues if you cannot first agree with them on the simple issues.

No, I am not. I am highlighting how the type of argument he is using has never been accepted throughout history. Minor or decreasing levels of harm are not a reason to avoid acting against and preventing that harm.

Gay marriage was supposed to destroy marriage.
There were all kinds of fear based arguments against integration and interracial marriage.
Our history of civil rights in this country is a long, continuous history of fighting against the “othering” minorities of all kinds based on baseless fears and perceptions of harm and damage.

Oh I see. You're in favor of men in women's sports. Got it.
You think wrong.

Glad there is a movement for this other than social media back and forth.
I feel like the only people who are on the other side are either A) not competitive B) have never played organized sports C) do not have a daughter or D) are so far woke anything pushed as trans they are all in on.
Like everything in life its easy to for many to support an issue that does not directly impact them. I for one will never let others take away my daughters right to compete fairly without a fight and I hope I never have to.

Not to get into politics, but many wonder why this is even an issue needing as much attention as it’s getting compared to other concerns.
As far as NCAA…” Out of over 500,000 student-athletes attending NCAA schools, fewer than 10 are transgender, NCAA President Charlie Baker said during a congressional hearing in December.”

If I may ask, what sport(s) do you coach?
&, I noticed you said “we ran into ONE at a tournament”.
Thereby emphasizing the facts of how rare this occurs.

5) Your physical advantage point makes no sense? Men do have physical advantages which is well documented. Its the same logic as I as an adult can not signup to play a sport against an 8 year old. Very clear physical advantages for me against a child. You comparing another man who is larger or more athletic than you to a trans man competing in female sports is apples and oranges.
What about the girls with more testosterone than others….are they also at a physical advantage? Should that be a concern? Where is the line drawn as balanced?

You mean government actually AGREEING on something?
This is like the argument over the term marriage & that “marriage” is only for procreation.

Good on our Wildcat Riley Gaines for continuing to stand firm on the message and be an advocate for women's sports.

The thing is is it is almost non-existent to begin with. There are about 500,000 athletes in college sports in the US. .002% of them are trans people and not all of them are participating in a sport against people other than their assigned gender at birth. There have been somewhere in the neighborhood of 5000 medals awarded at the Olympics since steps were initiated to limit the participation of trans women in women sports and only a handfull of those went to trans athletes...maybe as few as one by some reporting.
1 time is too many. That 1 time means there are 3 women that worked their lives for this achievement and were pushed down the podium and will never get that opportunity again.

A. The number is growing every year at the youth level, so it will hit the NCAA harder
B. 1 is too many. Robbing young girls and women of their dreams.

Big chunk of red meat for something that basically never happens

So, trans people should never be allowed to participate in sports?
Is that fair to them?

They can compete with their biological gender group.
ETA:
Also, there shouldn't be underage people transitioning. Can't buy alcohol, cigarettes, or get a tattoo yet we allow them receive hormone therapy and surgeries that will forever change their lives. It's outrageous. Cut your hair short and wear different clothes, whatever, but you're too young to consent to changing your body forever and parents shouldn't be allowed to consent for that, especially considering how bad the average parent is in the US.
Once at NCAA level and a legal adult they can compete with their biological gender.

How would you ever possibly come to this conclusion?
How does being required to compete with your own gender equate to "never be allowed to participate in sports" in your mind?
