To think this is a clear bit of film that all MP’s should watch, demonstrating why men in women’s sport is ludicrous?

American and sport based but the implication and consequences are clear.

Hopefully this stays as an AIBU rather than being either deleted or moved to another section.

I don't have an issue with transwomen competing against real women, sport should be a meritocracy and the best should rise to the top. Sex, race, age, sexuality etc should be irrelevant - the winner should be the fastest/strongest.

I think we should abolish divisions based on sex and age in the same way that we've abolished divisions like the Negro American League and Eastern Colored League in baseball. Nowadays people compete in the same league regardless of race. It should be the same for age and gender. There should be one category/league/pyramid and all players compete against one another. Clearly sports would need organising into divisions to accomodate all the people who wanted to play, and there would be a transition period whilst things settled into a natural order.

Using football (soccer) as an example, the women's teams could be slotted into the main competitions. Promotion and relegation would then raise or lower them into their appropriate place. Better yet, just base it on market forces and abolish the separate male/female teams. Just have one team and allow them to field as many men/women as they want. It will naturally level out, the best women will find places in the teams and will bump male players out, pushing them lower down the leagues.

I assume this is satire.

Surely nobody is this stupid?

I won’t allow the posters comments to be repeated a third time! Clearly ludicrous and no, they don’t genuinely believe it. Just another way to try and cancel women.

Laughable really, as you say..

This is utter stupidity. We would end up with only young male athletes for everything.

Perhaps that's what you want?

Please stop repeating the ridiculous post, it is not worth the time or consideration.

Let’s have a read of scientific fact instead..

Although aren’t satirists supposed to be funny or clever or both? No evidence of that there.

I think we should abolish divisions based on sex and age

Oh good. No more need for parents to get cold and wet watching their kids compete in sport every weekend. Just let the dads do it and the women and kids can stay at home. No more dance kids, no more junior leagues, no point to school sports days...

I've seen this before. Totally nails it. But as can be seen on this thread, those who are devoted to TWAW and the TRA/MRA cause won't be swayed.
Everyone else already knows this anyway

I also point you to these stats which demonstrate teenage boys outperforming elite female athletes from around the age of 14.

Yes true. I’m talking about women’s rights and not having men in women’s sports (or spaces in general). Always high jacked by men warbling on about twaw, even though I’m always talking about men. And women’s rights, not trans people. But that is the only currency available because scientifically, not a leg to stand on

Have you ever played sport?
Do you hate sport?
Or do you just hate women?

I assume @Dotjones is being satirical to show how ludicrous this idea would be in practice.

Bahaha. Well done for putting women in sport back a 100 years

Oh, I thought you meant this film:

Dot - you are so right. People keep saying that there is a man in his 50s included in this girls college team and I have no idea why they keep saying this.

Please, point him out' I cry and they never do.

Seriously?! Wow 🙄

Very interesting video, thank you for the link.

As always, thank you to all the women who are brave enough to stand up against this travesty.

That snippet with Riley Gaines being safely removed from those TRAs at a university was horrific.

Thank you Riley, Sharon, Martina et al 💐

Please stop quoting @Dotjones in full. It just makes it dominate the thread.
I agree with you, OP. Also the clip of the six footer pushing over a girl.

Dotjones' post provides a very useful illustration with perfect timing.

#Letthemspeak

Why not? It’s a perfectly adequate response to the madness of letting men compete in women’s sports.

But there's no movement towards putting anything like this - i.e. abolishing categories in sport - in practice, so no need to satirise it.
Very strange post, whether serious or not.
