its not that tricky. she doesn't qualify. if i were 7'4" I'd be in the NBA.

Isn't this kind of like saying you can't even try to play in the NBA because

IMO, the rules should be based on birth sex. If born female at birth with this

Agreed.

This is still tricky as intersex are typically "assigned" a sex.

6/24/21 9:57am

Intersex, they get to choose.

People always get caught up in the .00000001% exceptions. Let them choose and

Chromosomal sex is easier

Works for me too.

I said biological female but it is likely that she has both male and female biol

Personally, she's born a female so she competes as a female.

cruoti

I bet she has a y chromosome.

Equality…. Let the best regardless of gender all compete against each other.

6/24/21 10:08am

This line of thinking is flat out wrong.

I think 'kotacoug' was being sarcastic?

Yes. I realize that.

Soupie

Well if society is being true to it’s equality stance and not hypocritical…

I wonder which events biological women would actually compete in if the was real

Pretorian

6/24/21 11:24am

If she's biologically a female then she deserves to compete w/ women. Period.

BleedCougarBlue2

6/24/21 10:26am

well there's the problem. how do you define that?

johnnycarson

6/24/21 10:30am

XX or XY. IF a variant, then set some rules for that. But chromosomal sex is the simplest starting point.

Turnpike Lane

6/24/21 10:40am

So like a testosterone limit?

kotacoug

6/24/21 10:42am

That's only a "problem" to the left.

BleedCougarBlue2

6/24/21 2:55pm

It simply isn’t fair for her to be allowed to compete against xx females

TrackCoug

I somewhat agree but I don't think arbitrarily setting a maximum threshold for

Megamind

6/24/21 11:02am

Are you saying people that aren’t XX or XY should have their own competitions?

PHXSUNS31

6/24/21 11:08am

Probably. The reality is that when biological differences are that extreme

Megamind

6/24/21 11:16am

The problem is that is essentially the same as saying, sorry you can’t compete

PHXSUNS31

6/24/21 11:25am

This is true and unfortunate. However I don't think there is a solution to that

Megamind

6/24/21 11:50am

It's why ADA doesn't cover blind pilots or surgeons. At some point you must be able to perform the task.

Soupie

6/24/21 11:59am

But what if the pilot or surgeon had a weird genetic thing that made them better

PHXSUNS31

6/24/21 12:34pm

The analogy doesn’t work

TrackCoug

6/24/21 12:49pm

Just simply responding to Soupie as I didn’t think his analogy really applied

PHXSUNS31

6/24/21 1:27pm

It’s not guesses

TrackCoug

6/24/21 2:05pm

Well my mistake, I read that her test results were never revealed

PHXSUNS31

6/24/21 2:25pm

I was more referring to Megamind's inability to perform on an NFL roster.

Soupie

6/24/21 2:45pm

Gotcha, makes sense

IMO, Caster is far more interesting than most gender issues.

Semenya is a biological male

If this ^^^^is true, people need to ask themselves, why is this an issue at all?

Pretorian

6/25/21 7:44am

Cheating? She was raised female and possibly didn’t know until later in life

PHXSUNS31

6/25/21 8:13am

Forgive me, when I read technically male, I excluded those very unique scenarios

Pretorian

6/25/21 12:05pm

Ya it’s just a tricky situation that doesn’t have a good answer unfortunately.

PHXSUNS31

6/25/21 12:15pm

Indeed, I do feel for those that have to deal with those challenges….

Pretorian

What if she was XY without male anatomy?
