  • “That advantage is entirely irrelevant to scholastic activities”. Did anything I say have anything at all to do with academics?

    The studies I reference are Strength, power and aerobic capacity of transgender athletes: a cross-sectional study in the British Journal of Sports Medicine (2024), Body composition, exercise-related performance parameters and associated health factors of transgender women, cisgender women and cisgender men volleyball players by the NHI (2024), and Transsexuals and competitive sports in the European Journal of Endocrinology (2004). You can look up what you want to about each. Though the results generally say that strength metrics equalize over time, some skeletal metrics and residual lean mass differences remain even after several years of hormone therapy.

    And since you decided to focus only on the trans issue in my comment I should remind you the thrust of my argument was in regards to Democrats putting identity politics before good governance.



  • Democrats have given up on the working class in favor of identity politics. They can’t see through any other lens except the one that sees white people as oppressors and every other group as deserving of everything we can give them to make up for this “injustice”. A good example is trans rights in sports. It seems fairly obvious to me that a trans woman should not be able to compete in women’s sports simply because of the biological advantage of having a male body. Yet democrats blindly insist that trans women have a right to do anything an actual female can do. And liberals are also condescending towards anyone who disagrees with their views. Rather than thinking ‘that’s actually a valid point I should consider’ it’s always ‘you’ll eventually come around to seeing things the right way, like I do’.
