Biological male wins girls' New England high jump title

I said - it's an untalented boy that gets to beat girls. You said - that would be the person who finished 14th there.

You drew a distinction between the trans person in 1st and the trans person in 14th. You're just like everyone else. You just pretend to be above it.

If you are able to exist in this world and not believe a major war and the AIDS epidemic don’t have a personal impact on you, then more power to you. Must be nice living in such a limited plane of existence.

And not for nothing, those two events have killed and or displaced millions of people. If all of high school athletics ended tomorrow exactly zero people would die. Grow up.

It affected every girl in that competition personally. What do you say to them?

This story is inspiring. She’s able to both live as her true self and become a champion. A true win-win

These bollocks are repeated often as if it is true and supported by statistics. It absolutely isn't. Don't shoot me in your response, give us alternate robust stats on how people were self harming when very few people had transgendered.

The answer to this issue is as clear as day.

In fact, it is not an answer at all, it is an absolute truth.

There is no middle ground.

There is no defense for either side.

One is wrong and one is right.

If you do not possess the answer intuitively, innately in your brain, you are the problem.

You will never be part of the solution.

I have eyes. look at any other angle it's incredibly obvious

Or just think about it: how many actual females run in that type of shorts? Hiltz is the only one I can think of and she identifies as non binary.

Nothing - I don’t know them and it’s an insignificant event.

I do not understand the “it does affect you personally” argument. It is appropriate to respond to injustice in the world.

It’s not insignificant to them

There is a meme for your stupid argument.

But let's accept your argument at face value. Let's go by the argument of - we bend to whomever it impacts personally. Let's see here. To force the guy to compete in boys sports negatively hurts 1 person, but it helps all of the girls in the HJ final. So it hurts 1 and helps like 15.

#sexnotgender

Also the counter argument of - how does it immpact you personally if he competes in the boys division? It's just a DUMB argument.

PS. It blows my mind that so many liberals rip Trumpers for not accepting the facts of the election tabulations when they themselves won't except scientific facts.

Of course they have indirectly impacted me but you said "personally." That means my run, my meals, my family, my day-to-day, my struggles and my kids. Those things have not been impacted by the war in Ukraine, no. But that doesn't mean I don't care about it.

And as for "youth sports not mattering because it is not life or death" you are wrong. Things don't have to be life or death to matter.

Girls and women's rights matter even though women don't instantly drop dead in countries and historical eras where they don't have rights.

Though if you think about it, women do have a higher mortality in nations where they don't have equal rights, so I guess girls sports is pretty important. Even "life or death," so to speak.

And it does impacet people - lots of people. I was talking to my liberal friend - who once wrote speeches for HRC - about your "How does it impact you argument?" She said, "Why don't you tell them about my daughter?"

She dresses like a tomboy for 2nd grade in school in DC. Overall, jeans, never a dress. People ask her all the time, "What are you? Non-binary - a guy?"

It's crazy. Instead of being a tomboy, you are now presumed to be trans in 2nd grade? It's crazy.

Liberal here, living in a very liberal area, and also frustrated with this. What I found is, most people who ignore these facts are not really "sports" people to begin with. They don't understand and don't value the concept of competition. They mostly think it's silly to care so much about who won a race.

I coached a female athlete to her first state championship last year. I wish they could all see the impact it had on my athlete and her self-confidence, how rewarding the whole experience was. Girls deserve the opportunity for fair athlete competition.

So, biological girls should have to lose so that boys who want to believe that they can choose to be girls even without any biological or surgical interventions will be happy. Why should there even be a girls division if boys can compete in it?

There is a middle ground that allows for ripping both groups. Aren’t they both crazy?

Watch it. The left tells us if we don't let them compete in HS athletics - in the sex of their choice - they will kill themselves. Normally when someone threatens to kill themselves in an argument, it's viewed as a sign of mental instability/insanity but in this case we are told to bow down to it.

Dude. It’s a major war. It has sent price shockwaves around the globe. Unless you consume nothing that has oil in it’s supply chain it has DIRECTLY impacted you. That’s my point - a war matters in a tangible way to people around the globe in a way a regional track meet does not.

It is true not everything has to be life or death to matter. It is also true that not everything that upsets a few people is of any real importance. All sorts of people have lost all sorts of contests for various reasons and well adjusted people GET OVER IT. Proportion matters. Women have plenty to worry about besides high jumping.
