And the majority of them in the south, by white cops who have been involved in multiple shootings.

The difference between you and I is that you want to be able to decide the spin, to decide which agenda to pursue and subject people to.  I'd rather leave it up to the people themselves.

That is EXACTLY right.  And a local high school decides who competes at that school - they do not decide the game of life.  But many conservatives do not think that, and feel that if a trans woman competes with other women at the high school level, it somehow damages society at large.

So, the few individuals it does actually do harm to are collateral damage. Sorry about your luck I guess...

Yep.  

And if you go the other way you deny 1.6 million people the right to compete in sports.  Sorry about them!  Hey, they're only a million or so, so who cares?  Certainly not you.

Then why aren't you staying in your lane, you are neither transgender, nor a female athlete.

Yep.  A lot of black kids were told that circa 1950.  A lot of gay people were told that circa 1990.  Specifically I think Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King, Harvey Milk and Ruby Bridges were all told to stay where they belonged.  

Personally I am glad they did not dodge the drama.  I think we are all better off for their efforts to not stay in their lanes.

Or their "assigned genders". I'm sure it'll be a better world for all.

It's ok to be "triggered", however THIS is an open forum for DEBATE. What was i thinking? It's ok to not agree, it's how one presents themselves in the debate that matters. 

For the record, if I didn't have two beautiful little people to raise, foster, nurture and care for, I'd give A LOT less fucks on the matter. Also, I've already raised a beautiful girl to adulthood, and have already had to explain the freak show...

And if one of those little people turned out to be trans, would you also be explaining to them how you consider them a freak?

You've raised her to adulthood and are explaining to her now your views on Post-Stonewall LGBT Conservationism?

That'll be helpful. Nothing like having a narrow, bigoted point of view, posed as education and then force fed by an irrefutable authority figure.

Ok.  So I've asked this before -

Let's say your beautiful girl turns out to be genetically male, as tens of thousands of American women are.  And let's say she says she wants to transition to her genetic gender.  What would you tell her?

Well, to some degree, that's true.

It is very true in abortion.  There are harms done by either decision.

It is _sort_ of true in other questions of rights.  For example, in the Loving vs Virginia case, on the one side was the harm done by not allowing black people to marry white people.  That's an easily quantifiable harm, resulting in less happiness for some people.  On the other side is the loss of the privilege that white men have to have exclusive access to white women.  That's technically a harm, but you'd be hard pressed to equate the two.

In this case, the harm done on one side is a category of people who can no longer compete in sports.  The harm done to the "other side" is that some women, and even fewer men, lose the opportunity to come in first.  Again that seems like it would be hard to claim those two are similar.

Well, apparently it's similar enough that some states are passing legislation to 'protect' the people that want those 'natural women' to come in first.

Those same places are passing laws that deny care to minors.

I just figured that if you tell other people to stay in their swim lane, you would also stay in your swim lane. I do realize that expecting some intellectual honesty might be a bit much.

What a JOKE could have been the other headliner...  It's simple "boys and girls", if you wish to compete with "real women", then "boys", you need to commit, 100%. Until then, fair is fair. 

And to be 100% clear: Real women have vagina's, that they were BORN with.  And 100% commitment is surgery that removes the testicles and penis. Any questions? 

I figure they have a better handle on it than you do.

Don't make irreversible decisions and don't go in debt for an elective surgery. I'm sure it would be a little deeper than that!
