So how do you feel about Lia Thomas who transitioned and became an NCAA champion in women’s swimming?
Still just fun and games? Or do you want to draw an arbitrary line between collegiate/high school?
Has Thomas followed established rules for womens competition? -

So why are you arguing against the disinfection as though it doesn’t make the (very obvious) difference it does?Don't try and walk it back by refocusing on the thing we all agree on
I am always going to push back / “overreact” to this because every year we suffer through thought pieces about how morons like Aaron Rodgers are the smartest man in the room, or listen to Tom Brady talk about how he doesn’t get a sunburn because he stays hydrated, or countless other examples of male athletic excellence that go almost entirely unchallenged… while women in sport often cannot excel without accusations of being born male, or trans women athletes cannot exist without the suspicion of cheating, without sagacious dudes popping off about how men are stronger, etc.So it’s not about dimorphism not being a thing, it’s about this specific topic coming up and the suspicion that women who excel are actually men, which to me is the subtext whenever the “but actually men are stronger” comment comes up apropos of nothing.

Are you in favor of getting rid of gender based divisions in sports? If not, why?
Same questions for @Kal-El814
No, I acknowledge that sexual dimorphism is a thing and I know that the destruction of gender / sex based sports and leagues would, on account of patriarchy, make things shittier for women’s sport in general.
None of that makes what took place in the OP any less shitty and dumb.

If you were to compare any age group post puberty at any skill level, the results are the same: the average biological male has an advantage over the average biological female. I really don't know what YOUR point is, unless you actually disagree with this? And in purely athletic competitions, those relatively small differences result in large differences in outcome.
Like, go to your local high school when the boys and girls soccer teams have a scrimmage and tell me you think it doesn't matter for the non-outlier level athletes
My point is that shitty people look at girls / womens sport, see someone crushing it, and assuming they must be a guy / male because their grasp of these things starts and stops at “girls weak boys strong.” Or that thought gets brought up as a justification for dragging women athletes when they succeed as seen by all the internet phrenologists who look at someone like Ledecky and think she’s a man, or the OP in this thread.
The “well actually, boys are stronger and faster” crowd offers no insight, no value, no propositions. It is peak reply guy behavior and they should be encouraged to be silent.

I mean, facts are facts man. Serena Williams was beaten 6-luv by a guy ranked 203rd who smoked cigarettes while he played. Nobody is arguing against the dignity of trans people (here, obviouslythere are definitely monsters doing that), just for people to recognize facts about human anatomy when it comes to competitive sports.
Comparing someone who is in the top percent of a percent of a percent of male tennis players who have ever walked the earth to Serena Williams proves absolutely nothing. Again, sexual dimorphism exists, and Serena Williams would rinse 99%+ of men, and today’s men would cream peak male players from the not too distant past. Looking at outliers is pointless.

I'd say 10-20% is significant.
Again, feel free to get to a point at any time.
We’re just now getting to the point where some people accept that gender is a social construct. People need to acknowledge that sex is ALSO a social construct. And before anyone’s anus prolapses, I don not mean that biology is not relevant. I merely mean that “sex” is a term made up by people to categorize natural phenomena that has turned out to be significantly more nuanced than male and female. There are a non trivial amount of intersex people, our understanding of how what we presently understand to be sex hormones truly impact development, athletic performance, etc., is just beginning to come together.
So with that in mind it’s not that sex is a useless determinant, it IS a relevant one. But the playing field is never going to be level. My first serious girlfriend was barely 5’ tall, she was good at gymnastics and couldn’t have been a high jumper. My wife is 6’ tall, she was one of the best high jumpers in Mass growing up, but if you asked her to do a cartwheel her spine would tear out of her body and she’d fuckin die.
So what are we going to do? Genetic screening for any meaningful athletic competition? Hormone levels? Height cutoffs? Arm length? All of these approaches have flaws and you get into truly gross territory adjacent to eugenics REALLY quick when someone starts advocating for “born females only competing against born females.”

You say there's a flaw in the argument, yet offer no evidence to the contrary.
I don’t know anyone that would deny that sexual dimorphism in humans exists; I certainly do not. That said the differences are not as pronounced as people assume and that leads to the stupidity like the content listed in the OP in this thread.
Just now, BloodyHell said:That biological males have naturally bigger lungs, hearts, higher red blood cell count, and wider, thicker hips and more dense musculature if they have gone through puberty. That trans women should be welcome in rec sports, but competitive womens sport should be the sole purview of biological females.
Shut uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuup.

Katie Ledecky would get smoked by every male in a Olympic race.
Every single event for basic physical sports measured by something tangible (time, distance, etc.) like track and field, swimming for simplistic sake, the differences are substantial between sexes and there isn't a single case where females outperform. This is collective, and happens at every competitive level high school through Olympics.
The bell curves for these things, in general, across the sexes are much closer than people assume. Looking at the Olympics / professional sports to determine if there is meaningful sexual dimorphism is a fundamentally flawed approach.
