I'm not sure what you're getting at here, Lav. Someone born a woman who wants to compete in men's sports is a different situation than someone born a man who wants to compete in women's sports. The latter case is unfair to their competitors, where I'd argue the former doesn't have that problem.

Also, your comment about me being "had" by Ashock made me smile. Ashock didn't convince me of this, this was my opinion on the matter long before this thread. I'm asking you guys to explain why my opinion is incorrect because in all honesty I'm not seeing it.

It's not fair that a man who wants to identify as a woman be unallowed to do so in sport. However, it's also just as unfair for people born female to have to compete against such gender-reassigned people. We have large organizations dedicated to stopping unfair drug-based advantages (steroids, doping, etc) and, well, this is a pretty large advantage, no?

Society as a whole will go through a transition period here, because never before in human history has it been possible for someone to actually switch genders. We'll need a generation or two (or maybe more) to figure out how to handle things considering we're dealing with thousands of years of societal rules / boundaries. Sport is going to be one of those tricky things to figure out.

I would argue that Ashocks's agenda has little to do with unfairness to women or with sport. I think you missed the point of the thread. Some of the same people that decry Hubbard competing against women would keep Beggs from wrestling other men.

Ashock is free to explain how I am mistaken.
