Youre the one who just literally said you dont care about the other racist things in life. Since you know, anything that disproportionally affects a race is racist. Which is pretty much every single thing in life, which makes your point pretty dumb.

Question, since proportionally this actually affects the white racers more (2/5 being a higher percentage than the white racers in the field), would that make it racist towards whites?

Not only do you need to be a natural born woman but now you must have normal testosterone levels?

Might as well have all future athletes created in a lab so there's no genetic advantages whatsoever.

You said if something disproportionally affects a race its racist. Everything does that. Ergo, to you, everything must be racist. When pointed out and asked about these other things you said you didnt care. So ya, you did say that buddy.

hmm no you're wrong, if you get 20 people, 10 white people and 10 black people, the black people all commit murder and the white people do nothing, all the black people goes to prison while the white people don't, this isn't racism even if the results without any context may look like it
Assuming all the black people would commit murder is p racist bro

Though according to another article I read these athletes were given the option of taking T suppressants and competing with reduced T levels but they refused. So whatever. Their choice.

I saw that, but thats also dumb. Youre too good, so we need you to take these pills to handicap yourself if you want to compete

ROOTFayth posted...
it's because of their hormone levels, otherwise ANY discrimination could be viewed as racism, and that obviously wouldn't make sense

Unless its a hormonal imbalance found mostly in one race people more than others. Then it could start looking more like racism again

daynlokki posted...
Sorry you guys wanted testosterone levels tested so trans women couldnt compete, probably should have paid attention to your own levels before whining about theirs being an advantage that needed curtailing.

This is also dumb because most people arent usually measuring their own natural testosterone levels Or think their natural levels will stop them from competing

daynlokki posted...
So by that reasoning, if it targeted more white people then black it would equally be racist? So everything is a racist policy since some race is guaranteed to be affected at a disproportionate rate?

It would have to be a decent number difference. But it could be racist for someone else, as well Like if they made a rule that affected 57% of black people and 53% of white people, its not racist just because it affects more black people. But if it affected 78% of black people and 34% of white people, then it starts looking like a possibly racist rule

Lordgold666 posted...

You would think that. Its not like they are cheating or anything. Its natural

Ok, so where are all the sanctity of womens sports!! People at? Clearly these women put in work and are so good at what they do that a Trans woman competing with them wouldnt matter. You all gonna bring the same energy you had keeping trans people out to helping these women get back in?

If qualification was based on biological sex like it should be rather than testosterone level then this wouldn't have happened. Agreed?

Because they were worried about male-to-female trans and men crossdressing competing.

Now trans is allowed but women with naturally high testosterone still arent.
