| Topic | Girls sue to block participation of transgender athletes |

Says someone whos never had kids in college on a scholarship or that it ruins your potential of making a professional or college team to further your career. But lets be fair here. Nobody on here even watches sports let alone really cares about them anyway. Would you extend that empathy for trans athletes who want to make a career in sport but are ousted on the worst kinds of justification? Let's be honest here. Most of the rhetoric around this issue is pinned up as if there is strong scientific evidence to support it (there actually isn't a whole lot as its a fairly new issue, regardless of the reasonable rational for it), but once you delve into people's actual opinions their position is far simpler: that person has to be a guy, I mean just look at him. Such as it was with Caster Semenya, who is someone with DSD and not a a MTF athlete at all. Didn't matter though. The prevailing opinion on social media and in the press could be summed up by saying "I mean, look at that jawline". So we get back to the bad faith point Cyric brought up. Maybe there's something to be said for how emotional people are about this issue, and not just on the side of supposed sjws and trans people. --- CE's Resident Scotsman. https://imgur.com/ILz2ZbV ...
