FINA votes to restrict transgender swimmers, including Lia Thomas

TOP said:
The decision has been made... Were other sports to follow that would be even better... It's very simple if you're a biological woman you swim with the women if you're a biological man you swim with the man...or run... Or cycle... I'm really not sure why anyone has a problem with that...

They are simply contrarians.

If a conservative says something is white, they say it's black.

If they had a sister or daughter or granddaughter competing in a sport, I don't believe any of these far left loons would want them to have to compete with a male.

I mentioned that earlier in this thread...and still believe that to be true... And yes....It's mandatory, especially around here, to reply with the opposite POV...With not a thing to back it up... Are they really going to put "cis" and "trans" side by side on some starting blocks and claim they're the same? (Not anymore...And honestly "prior to age 12" should really never be a factor...)

Indeed!

It appears that the conservatives are winning, winning, winning.

If this was all about "Just" wanting to swim, we shall see in the next 6 months....To remain competitive training is year round... Right now, it just seems the need to compete as a woman was completely selfish.... and total disregard for teammates and every other woman in the sport.

No, FINA certainly has it right and made a very fair decision. What gender someone identifies as has nothing to do with the fact that a post pubescent male transitioning via HRT and anti-androgen therapy still has significant physical advantages over the female sex. This sort of identity politics is silly.

I also think the evidence that prepubescent gender affirming therapy is dangerous to the health and well being of a prepubescent child and should only be permitted in very rare circumstances.

Post pubescence is a different story but prepubescent no way.
