It would be completely fair as long as the 20 year old identified a senior and believed he was 60+ years. We all know ones belief equals truth now so the world needs to be bent to the will of those that reject facts and science.
If males are allowed to compete against females in all Olympic events, the public will protest the obvious unfairness by not watching which will lead to sponsors pulling out. This issue is a tiny minority trying to infringe on the human rights of a majority.
Hello There they are coined the median voter. This gave me such a broader perspective. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xxmXeLEcs9s.html
Michael Shart, Indeed. I certainly have no interest in watching a "shitty men's final" just to be supportive of this absolute horseshit that trans activists are peddling these days. I'll just watch men's sports then and nothing else. Watching bad male athletes compete in the other final doesn't interest me one bit.
Agreed. But there is the danger that, in the short-term, the spectacle and novelty of such competitions would actually attract a lot of attention and ratings and revenue. In the short-term.
I've always thought that Renee Richards is the archetypal example of how big an advantage men retain post-transition. As a 40-something "woman" in the 70s, Richards achieved slightly better results at the Slams than he had as a 20-something in the 50s, despite not having played elite level tennis in the interim and, of course, the general standard of the sport increasing as it does in all sports, all the time. Given that female players tend to have an earlier peak and earlier decline than male players too, the fact that Richards was able to perform at that level is, for me, cast-iron proof that a significant amount of male advantage is absolutely retained. Obviously one case is an anecdote, not data, but without conclusive evidence that Richards was a massive outlier and that other men in a similar position don't retain any advantage, it should certainly have told the IOC power brokers to take a Chesterton's Fence approach to the issue. Instead, they did what the trans lobby demanded, which is what the trans lobby always demands: ignore science, ignore common sense, ignore thoughtful inquiry and discussion, throw women under the bus, and validate the fantasies of mentally ill men.
People must understand that there is a minority of humans who given the chance will behave in the most reprehensible way. The IOC was betting that 'decent' people wouldn't exploit this situation. But I am sorry, if you are a second tier golfer who is also a narcissistic scumbag hungry for fame and fortune; and you happen upon a situation where you go from 300 in the world to number 1, and with it comes along the money and adulation of the world's media, applauding you for your trans status... you don't think there are people going to dive right into this?
This is common sense observable in everyday life. Yet science deniers will have scientist waste precious time to study basic science and repeat what is already known! That time could have been used to research NEW beneficial things. It oddly feels like rather than progressing we are regressing to redefine what is ALREADY known!
Emma Hilton is a gem and a true feminist. Thank you for everything you do. I am a man, but I have always been vocal about these issues. I will never be part of the silent majority. ❤️
20:02 "Depending on the levels of arbitrariness one wants to accept, it is justifiable that reassigned males compete with other women." - Louis Gooren 20:38 "Sex segregation in sports does not exist for arbitrary reasons, and it should _never_ have been compromised for arbitrary reasons." - Emma Hilton
As a man I have no true horse in this race but I sympathize with both sides in this conundrum. I'm sure it must be incredibly painful for a trans athlete to be denied their gender identity in a sports context. And I'm sure it's excruciatingly painful for a female athlete to lose accolades or scholarships unfairly I appreciate that this video exists because it's incredibly frustrating to see the number of people who argue that trans women have no competitive advantage and that "science is on their side"
Unfortunately the only truly fair way forward is to have male, female, trans-male and trans-female sport but the numbers of trans-athletes isn't high enough to support the extra categories. It's always seems a bit unfair in the Paralympics where they try to adjust categories depending on impairment but the field always seems a little broad
love how she bites the bullet and goes 'trans sports are fine' at the end more or less its like damn even if your a dishonest actor lying the science doesn't and *checks notes* sciences says trans people existing is gucci actually
Kind of sad that for the past 15-or-so years feminism has concentrated on utter nonsense like "manspreading" and "mansplaining", letting this sneak in the back door.
@@Nemesis-lg6zf So basically you've watched a scientific presentation by a radical feminist scientist and you can say that the bulk of feminists deny biology? Unlikely that these biology deniers are feminists, or perhaps you're referring to transideologists, conservatives and Christians who deny it?
You are blurring the lines I think, and that's as a male. There are, as this presentation suggests, certain unarguable physical differences between males and females. As I understand it feminism is more about equality of rights, status and opportunity, as well as trying to reframe accepted social opinion that is male centric. This move seems anti feminst tbh
(the overwhelming majority of women in the country when asked about trans rights) Crazy how whenever they poll women overwhelming are protrans almost like gender critical ideology is a marginal belief for crazy people
A lot of women are protesting against this nonsense, but T activists really go out of their way to try to stop them. Normally when women try to meet up the T-activists will call up the venues they book to pressure them to cancel it, threatening to destroy their reputations. they show up screaming and trying to block women from entering. They tell the media that these women are bigoted hate groups and the media unfortunately just parrots that line.
A developmental researcher with accolades from the European society of human genetics. Unscientific. Because of Twitter I can guess why she blocked you
Many women have been complaining about this and other issues for a long time. Many people calling themselves feminists and promoting gender identity are liberal/3rd wave feminists. 2nd wave feminists don't support the gender identity religion
