I didn't read all 100 posts, but I read the first 37 and skimmed the rest. I didn't see a single post fully defending biological males participating in women's sports. Just one post in which a poster defended bio-males in non-concact sports like swimming. This on a board with plenty of Democrats and plenty of "independents" who spend all their time complaining about Trump and promoting the latest success by Biden.
So if there is so little support for the absurd idea that it is OK for men to dominate women's sports, why is it happening?
I would say because most women's sports takes place in secondary schools and colleges, both of which have become institutions that deliberately apply the principles of groupthink in order to insulate their far left ideology from any dissent. There, one is not allowed to express concern about the safety or fairness of men competing as women.
Speak out and you risk being expelled, fired, threatened, and even attacked by a mob of testosterone pumping cross-dressers, as happened to Riley Gaines. So we talk about it here, but nowhere else. Most of us are too busy trying to make a living to spend a lot of time trying to influence policies that we really have little means to affect.
Sure, we can vote for people who talk about protecting women's sports. But that is almost exclusively done by GOP politicians. So the Democrats on here who oppose the ruining of women's sports understandably aren't going to switch over one issue. No Democrat politician will vote for any law that protects women's sports, and the president would not sign it. Only in heavily red states is anything done to protect women in sports.
As far as I know, this has yet to reach professional women's sports, other than some older cases in women's tennis. If men start playing in the WNBA, that league will become the basketball version of XFL Football. Just a minor league/farm team for male players who are very good, but not quite good enough for the NBA. Men might also invade the LPGA. Not sure what other sports women can make a living at.
Which brings me to
candycorn and her constant interjection into this issue about how "you" never cared about women's sports before. Candy must be as old as I am or just binge watched a lot of "All in the Family." It is true that in those old days, back in the seventies, many conservative men ridiculed the idea of girl's sports being on an equal footing with boys. But no more. Come to Texas, and you will see that High School Softball is just as popular in the Spring as high school football is in the Fall. Conservatives have always understood the importance of youth sports, and in the 21st, girls youth sports are no different.
