Just have all athletes measured in an index of height, weight, muscle mass and bone density, and redistribute them in even categories disregarding sex entirely. For the first time we would have fair sports. Sports were never really fair, and anyone who understands just the simple notions of physics has always pointed this out. They just don’t like it when nerds prove jocks don’t understand the very games they play. And that’s all sports trully are in the end. Silly games.
The part that boggles me is how this takes so much space in the broad conversation when competitive sports are truly an inconsequential part of existence. None of that affects life outside of it. None whatsoever. And I’m sure even athletes want this situation actually solved, instead of just dumbing it even more.
And by the way I’m speaking of sports, not exercise. For some reason, people conflate the two.
Exercise is essential.
Sports are not. They can be fun. But people surely know how to ruin the fun out of it.
I’m looking forward to moving on to the next important issue. Which to them is probably going to be if there should be male vs female acting categories in award shows. No, there’s no reason for it. But caring about award shows is even dumber than that dumb distinction in them. The Arts would be better off without them. Competitions in Arts is as silly as it sounds.

It takes so much space because the amount of energy required to ask the question “should trans women compete in women’s sports” requires exponentially less energy than the amount of energy required to defend a particular answer to that same question.
Conservatives know this, so they’ve made a point of incessantly asking it and others questions like it because that steals focus from more important issues, riles up their own base, and causes liberals to fight with each other.
Liberals don’t fight each other. They fight the left. Liberals are in perfect lockstep: they want republican votes so badly that they will throw any minority under the bus and back up over them as many times as they think it will take.
The use of energy in disinformation rhetoric is fundamentally misunderstood by most people. If more people understood this type of asymmetric rhetoric, then we could actually move the important conversations forward.
10% of fascism is just more efficient talking points.
