While it is a worthy topic, I would have encouraged it being a new post in that older thread, so we don't repeat the same discussions.
A lot of the first thread was conjecture and potential. It is now happening. A trans female is blowing a lot of cisgender women out of the water. Apparently many of the cisgender women who have trained much of their lives aren't happy about it, but afraid to speak out in fear of being cancelled.
Lia Thomas at Penn. Previously was on the men’s team. FWIW I vehemently oppose allowing men to compete in women’s sports regardless of how they label themselves.
I'd venture to say that the overwhelming majority of cisgender females competing in their chosen sport resent having to compete against trans-genders for pretty obvious/basic fairness reasons. I'd venture to say that the % opposing/resentful is even higher for the parents of those girls/young women.
It cracks me up that all those people are unenlightened, close-minded, not seeing Big Picture, etc. Probably because they're all focused on the "little thing" of working hard in their/their kids' chosen sport and hoping they are fairly rewarded for their hard work.
