Id be curious what you think, Lt.

“kids soccer” wasn’t quite what i was picturing. but i think you know that.

I think this only makes sense if you actually are trying to say that it affects a “real woman’s” ability to get a scholarship.

Otherwise it’s a problem for every woman that isn’t as good as the worst scholarship athlete, as by definition they are all taking scholarships from other women that are worse than them and nobody cares about that.

To put a finer point on it, nobody cared that Peggy Sue was better at volleyball at Utah Valley State and got the 12th and final scholarship over Cindy Lou. But when Sarah Beth beats out Becky Ann for the 12th spot on the Lehigh Mountain Hawk vball squad we have a serious problem because guess why. Becky Ann earned it!

Right, and you can could correctly argue that in recent times, the World Athletics amongst other organizations have recently taken a stricter position that would negatively affect transgender athletes.

I mean, scholarships are literally being discussed atm and that conversation certainly falls within any reasonable interpretation of a middle ground. And those conversations will continue to take place in the future as things continue to evolve.

If you lose out on a volleyball scholarship because one girl who got one is trans you have no leg to stand on.

There is no way in hell, even in the modern era, that the (determined objectively by god) worst volleyball player to receive a scholarship is better than the best one not to.

I’ve attended a fair number of D1 NCAA women’s volleyball matches. At the highest level the teams have a number of players who are, quite frankly, genetic freaks. At the lower levels its not uncommon to see a player who is ridiculously tall but genuinely seems to not have much in the way of athletic skill, at least what you’d consider D1 level.

Its an absolute joke to say that a trans girl who never went through male puberty has an advantage that is unfair in the context of college volleyball.

See the posts above and below yours. Yes, worlds athletics orgs are making it more difficult right now, and trans athletes are abiding by those changes. Leave it at that. We dont need our fucking politicians chiming in and fearmongering over the fairness of it or not. We have groups that already do that.

This.

Supposed “small government” politicians are the ones pushing this. It’s fine that Brett Favre steals millions from needy families, but give one trans person a scholarship and they lose their shit.

Okay.

So are you going to take any responsibility for advocating for knee jerk positions based on republican scare tactics that have real world impacts on vulnerable kids?

Not picturing shit and thinking it through is not an excuse. It makes it worse.

This is Everywhere on my social. Feels like a new Brandon Teena. He was fucking murdered 31 years ago and this shit is still happening. Hopefully some good can come of this brutality.

I want that ghoul who runs Libs of TikTok booted out of wherever she got hired in the OK DoE and ostracized from polite society. She’s one of the main instigators of stuff like this.

“Incredibly embarrassing for a 6’4” man to not even be able to beat a 5’5" female," Gaines quipped.

What a ■■■■■

Is it embarrassing when 6 foot Katie Ledecky kicked everyone’s ass?

Thanks to Ms Gaines for fighting the fight against deviants whose goal is destroying woman’s sports.
