a pair of irrelevants squack…
Regressives keep focusing on what's really important in this day and age.
Wow, he really knows how to connect with younger voters /s

JK can claim she's a man all she wants, but Imane Khelif was born and raised as a woman - she's not transgender.
Regardless, exclusion of transgender people from sports is not backed by the science, current evidence points to trans women having similar fitness and athletic ability as cis women:
https://bjsm.bmj.com/content/early/2026/01/22/bjsports-2025-110239
While transgender women exhibited higher lean mass than cisgender women, their physical fitness was comparable.
transgender women’s VO₂ max, when adjusted for weight, aligns with cisgender women,4 further supporting parity in endurance capabilities
the absence of strength disparities between transgender women and cisgender women found in the current review was consistent and contradicts narratives framing male puberty as conferring irreversible athletic advantages despite [gender-affirming hormone therapy].
transgender women’s pretherapy advantages in push-ups and sit-ups disappeared after 2 years of feminising hormones among 46 individuals who started [gender-affirming hormone therapy] while in the US Air Force.
Strange. I would think that a tween novalist would bu much more up to date in terms of modern medical science.
Good to see biological women athletes still have rights.
This literally has nothing to do with their rights. You are just an idiot ❤️
Are you serious? Have you heard of Angela Carinii? Payton McNabb was almost killed by a trans athlete during a volleyball game. Biological men have no place in womens sports. You obviously don't have daughters.

I think you do yourself a disservice by using such incidents. A lot of incidents I see involving trans athletes are just illegal moves rather than advantages of men over women.
Statistics is a better measure as it is with statistics you can get a feel of performance instead of one off games.
Though I think the burden of proof falls on the trans athletes. Since the differences between the sexes has survived the null hypothesis, trans athletes need to prove their performance is not in line with their birth sex.
You obviously have no critical faculties and cant see past your own ignorance.
The science doesnt agree with you. After about two years there isnt any significant competitive advantage and certainly none at the elite level. They arent biological males, they are biological trans women.
I suppose you think Imane Khelif should be banned too because she isnt estrogen enough for you, right? How much testosterone is too much for you? Is she biological woman enough to compete? How many of these athletes have more T than the trans athletes? This is a non issue dreamed up to get ignorant sheep worked up to keep them angry and controlled. And it has nothing to do with cis women's rights; you are just an idiot ❤️.
