It’s clear that Joe is just a transphobe hiding behind “Oooo technically important oooo” ignoring the fact that the fascists want to check children’s genitals not for any of those “important” reasons
Are you crazy? There are many factors which led to that data point. How you feel about it later in life is a different story. You don’t choose to be a certain gender. It’s genetically chosen for you, and there are other issues which are dependent on that data point.
You may feel that you are a man or a woman during your life, and that may not confirm to your gender. That’s ok! But there may be certain diseases that are more prevalent in a woman. If you were born a woman and change your gender later in life, how does it affect that disorder,m
If they were talking about that set it would be useful to specify that set. But of course that would mean using icky terms like “cis” instead of denying the humanity and even biological existence of trans people. Can’t be having that, now.
The women’s sports that they care so highly about at this time for some reason. Next they’ll probably talk about some hypothetical niece that plays sports and “whatever will she do” in sports with the trans
If there’s no genetic advantage for men, why did Chess have separate divisions?
The ACTUAL answer is misogyny. Chess was(and still is tbh) a very misogynistic “sport” back in the day, and many male professional chess players refused to play against women, and the ones that did play against them were often crude. To try and get more women interested in chess, women only divisions were created. It has literally nothing to do with genetic advantages.
I can’t speak for chess, but in gaming where there’s similarly no sex advantage, female gamers are rarely seen at the higher levels because the environment is very hostile towards them. Creating a separate women’s league would alleviate this to some degree and encourage more women to actually try to reach for the top.
That our society didn’t even let women take part in marathons at one point and the first time someone did that was by just taking part without making clear that they’re a woman and they’ll be themselves taking part in it. You can draw your conclusion from that
If there’s no difference in sports or shit with men and women, shouldn’t we just have one division?
I would think so, yes. I’m no expert on either lol.
If a sport that doesn’t depend on physicality still has separate divisions ( literally chess) what does that mean to you?
What is it supposed to mean? I have no idea why it’s like that. Here’s a relevant wikipedia article. I don’t know why you’re asking me this lmao, but I didn’t come here for an argument. I made a joke. Peace out ✌️
Ok, so if there’s no difference between men and women, shouldn’t a top tier woman’s chess player be able to play a top tier men’s chess player and win some games?
There’s no scenario where a top tier woman’s player beats Magnus Carlsen if he’s trying to win.
As a trans man, I see this as an absolute win. /s
I’m just making a pedantic joke btw. I’m assuming you’re talking about cis women.

Get the fuck out of here.
I don’t care what you choose to identify as. But your gender at birth is an important data point.
No it’s not.
It’s not? So there’s no medical conditions which affect men more than women?
Interesting, interesting.
No it isn’t.

WHO is born as an adult?
I was born a baby.
You were born with specific genetic things. Accurately recording those things is important.
Why? I can’t even name someone who can name someone who has actually had their karyotype tested.
You don’t even know what chromosomes you have.

Yes?

You must be a troll account because a human capable of literacy asking that question honestly is beyond comprehension.
I’m not. Go ahead and answer the question.

Lol ok. So the top classical femalechess player has an elo of 2628. The top male is 2830. That’s a huge difference.

So in esports there are also distinct female divisions. I haven’t seen a female team play a male team in Dota2, CS, LoL, any fighting games, etc.
Because the field is known to be hostile to women and filled with creepy incels? Have you SEEN how they act anytime a “female gamer” pops up?
So it’s not because of skill differences? Very weird…
I’m confused, what are you saying?
So the comment chain reference sports having different divisions for men and women.
These generally depend on a physical difference between men and woman.
Why would a sport which removed all physicality, still have separate divisions?
I dunno, why?
If there’s no difference in sports or shit with men and women, shouldn’t we just have one division?

Ok let’s look at marathons.
Boston Marathon. Top woman finished in 2:21:38. That would have been 38th in males times. The top male time was 2:05:54.
There’s a difference.
I would think so, yes. I’m no expert on either lol.

Cool it down on the thinly veiled misogyny
Shithead bigots such as yourself, one would imagine.
You’re using the existence of an oppression to justify the further propagation of that very oppression, and begging the question further.
