Why should sports be gendered? There’s more variation within genders than between them. Who cares if you’re the fastest woman, man, white person, introvert, etc.? Be the best athlete or gtfo. https://twitter.com/thehill/status/1337482320492769280
If you're worried about women being included why not implement size, strength, skill, and/or weight classes? Gender/sex just seems like a weird, arbitrary thing to segregate on. Like we don't segregate by race anymore. So maybe we shouldn't use sex/gender either.
As should surprise no one I’m not a huge fan of identity-based discrimination. If I have to choose btw protecting trans women from discrimination and protecting women-only sports the choice ain’t hard for me
And no I don’t play any sports. I lift weights extremely uncompetitively and do yoga. I danced and was on the rifle team in high school, two sports where women tend to naturally excel.
If ur not flirting this hard with a ratio r u even livin
Stepping away from the trash fire I set to work but if someone could summarize the best points in a few hours I'd love them forever!
My two favorite response types so far:
1. People educating me with science about sex differences
2. Self-described feminists accusing me of saying women are inferior because I ... suggested a sex-neutral playing field would be better

The argument for sex discrimination in sports rests on the assumption (which seems correct) that women are inferior athletes in most of the sports we currently play. So it’s not me saying women are inferior. It’s y’all.
I’m muting this conversation but I just want to say it appears I was wrong about there being more variation within genders than between them. And also I still don’t care if you’re the fastest woman, man, white person, introvert, etc.
