Youth sports have a significant impact on the development of all children. Sports provide children opportunities to build their social skills and confidence, as well as improve their sense of belonging and physical fitness.
What happens to these spaces when adults are given permission to inspect a child’s body to determine their gender?
The Supreme Court rulings on Little v. Hecox and West Virginia v. B.P.J. decided that transgender girls cannot play sports that align with their gender identity. Not only does this ruling essentially prohibit transgender kids from participating in most youth sports – codifying the exclusion this vulnerable population already experiences – it also puts all children at risk of the harmful consequences of body surveillance.
Which is of course the idea. All this transphobia bullshit is just an excuse to harass and control women.
It’s a fucking Epstein op.
Transphobia is an Epstein op.
Don’t forget the part where pedos can come into being a coach and request the ability to fondle little girls to check if they have a penis or not. Very important thing to not forget!
Pretty sure the entire population of the earth just really hates women
May? it already has, is, and will. Bigots put people at risk. Harming others is their whole identity.
Yep, women are already enduring ridiculous scrutiny under thinly veiled transphobia they’re calling “protection.” Imane Khelif is a great example of how this is affecting women’s ability to play professional sports.
Wouldn’t she still be able to compete in the men’s leagues?
If we ignore the fact that she’s not transgender: trans women tend to be on oestrogen, and on testosterone blockers. They can’t compete with men the same way cis women can’t.
Why would you conflate her case with transgenderism?
To answer you though: if a cis-man takes ‘one’ oestrogen and ‘one’ testosterone blocker, can a cis-woman compete with them? Or do you think it depends?
Transphobes truly are the dumbest people on the planet.
Did you miss the part where she’s a woman?
That classification isn’t as clear cut as what you might have learned as a child
Oh, have you taken biology in university, too? Don’t talk down to me when you didn’t even read the entire article. The tests they supposedly used to verify her chromosomes were made up.
Do you believe there are 2 genders and nothing in between?
No, but that has nothing to do with this boxer. If anything, her experience reinforces the headline of the article I posted.
As a woman? Probably not.
If she has Y chromosomes, she can
Athletes that are deemed to be male at birth, as evidenced by the presence of Y chromosome genetic material (the SRY gene) or with a difference of sexual development (DSD) where male androgenization occurs, will be eligible to compete in the male category.
Is that really the only criteria? Can a man with de la Chapelle syndrome play women’s sports?
As I understand it: he can’t. De la Chapelle syndrome implies he has the SRY gene
It seems that 20% of men with de la Chapelle don’t have the SRY gene:
About 20 percent of those with 46 XX testicular disorder of sex development do not have the SRY gene. This form of the condition is called SRY-negative 46,XX testicular disorder of sex development.
So a lot of men can just still compete. Insane that they’re not at least being competent and using more sexual characteristics.
Looking at the site now, they do consider DSDs, but I’m not sure how they reliably test for that.
But she does not, do you really not know what born as a woman means?
If she does not, then she can compete in the women’s category
So great either way
If you are unable to read, why comment? The whole thread is about how they would not let her compete in the woman’s category either because transphobes are idiots.
Imane was born a woman. She identifies as a woman. No one but a corrupt Russian judge has ever said otherwise. Which is telling.
Ok but sports categories aren’t about how one identifies
You do realise the situation with Imane is the exact opposite. People decided she was a man and started to attack her. She’s evidence of gender as a social construct.
Yeah they’re about how an arbitrary organisation has decided to, again arbitrarily, split up the messy and complicated mess that is “”““biological sex””“”".
