Are you okay with a Black, Kenyan tribal man competing on a long-distance run against white europeans? Because
Black Kenyan tribal men can run full speed for hourswithout issue. If you're okay with this, I'm not sure why you wouldn't be okay with a woman competing against other women.
But why the push for bathrooms and lockerrooms? Why are we willing to say "Well my muscles are like a male and so much stronger than a womans and thus I shouldn't be able to compete in womans sports", but at the same time say "My facial features and junk are still male, but I should have every right to go into the female locker room and bathroom".
It's a blatant double standard. Agian, it's really all or none.
I am ok with black tribes competing in sports against white euro males. But I see that as a teribble analogy so Im not really going to address it.
To your other point about bathrooms and such(beyond the fact that I personally dont give a flying fuck who pees and shits where, but for the sake of conversation) I think that treads a fine line for two reasons.
1.) I do believe in Legal equality of treatment and human rights, but bathrooms are not that. I think private stuff should be able to dictate what they want. If people dont support it they will change. For instance clubs/bars ive been too in major cities no one ever cared when trans people went in to whatever bathroom they identify as, but im sure in small town iowa or montana they may not be so welcome. I dont see that as a problem but maybe im just harsh.
2.) i think what this entire debate comes down to for me is what defines "trans". I will concede that you cant have half-half treatment, but i cant just claim "ohh im trans" and join womans sports to kick ass and go take dumps in their bathrooms or whatever. Im just arguing that to get whatever "rights"(which we may not agree on specifics) that trans people have/need/deserve there should be some level of committed transition beyond the clothing. Im not a doctor, as i said before, but i dont think it needs to be fully swapping sex organs nor can it just be claiming your trans. Its a grey area but if we are going to give the, special rights then there should be a clear definiton of what it means not just to identify as the other sex, but some level of transition that is completed
Whatever though. My personal beliefs on this and race and gay and all that shit is who the fuck cares. We need to stop treating every group as different special snowflakes. See my comment earlier about just having all sports leagues open to all people... Trans, girl, black, martian, dog and then teams pick and hire the best people to win. BUT....if we are going to play by the rules out there today, which currently separate men and woman, then im just saying we should define what woman means. Im not claiming it should be defined by birth, but i also dont believe its fair just to say "ohh im trans" and join a female league when they are currently seperated for a reason. Hence lets define what "woman" is, maybe it means on hormones for 6 months? I dunno......
