Studies based on a handful of self-selected subjects proves absolutely nothing. Lia Thomas has a male brain in a male body, a male heart in a male body, male lungs in a male body. Lia Thomas has male genitals in a male body. There are some studies that indicate that a few men and women have brains that are more similar than less similar, but that's just a bit of normal overlap of two distributions. Those in this overlap are just as well heterosexual, homosexual, transsexual, or whatever.
Absolutely not true. At least four other nations that were on the transing kids bandwagon are stepping back and evaluating the mess that is being made of these kids lives. Prior to "affirmation only" policy many teen girls eventually settled into life as lesbians. Unfortunately, many of these girls who are attempting to trans as teens (with no prior gender issues) are now known to have trauma in their lives, have been sexually abused, don't fit it because of autism, or other issues. "Trans" is truly the new "anorexia" or "cutting." There's a social contagion element, especially in schools where these kids are coddled and hugboxed and suddenly get all kinds of special attention.
Gender dysphoria is very real, but it's absolutely not true that these kids will always have dysphoria.
It's also true that there is no evidence that allowing them to compete against women improves their well being any more than competing against men. Is Lia any less likely to suicide now that he has medals?

What Cox is really afraid of is the woke liberal mob.
Can someone explain to me how competing against girls makes trannies feel better about themselves? Very pathological if that is the case.
Bing-effing-o. Give these kids all the "support" they need to get a good education etc...
But that doesn't mean competing against my daughter in girls sports-- let alone sharing a locker room etc.
It's the ultimate insipid mansplain to pretend this is proper.
It's also, culturally speaking, an insult to gay men & lesbians who have their own rich history and stories that "trans" opportunists are barging into. Trans are their own thing, fine-- why can't * they * accept that, or in Will / Lia's case, hold his dick one more year and race as a dude?

Thomas would have no problem with competing against men. She did that three years at college. Why couldn't she wait for another year before transitioning?
Kids who are already transitioning as teens are a different matter. Their desire is not about competing "against" other girls, but competing "with" their teammates. They just want to play sports with their friends.

Doesn't say that Will / Lia was excluded, but indicates that s/he is not entered. Not good enough. Gotta pass rule that no trans women in bio women's sports.
Trans Men exist for the following reasons:
1) They did not have a father to teach them how to be men
2) They have a psychiatric illness
3) They want to part of this new trend or fashion of gender transition
4) They want to be in the sex industry
I have no respect for any of them and I am proud to be a transphobe
Go away Thomas. Nobody is impressed with you.
