The lean muscle advantage that males have over females is a well-documented, biological fact. This makes males bigger, faster, stronger and more athletic than females. This is reflected in sports competition outcomes at every level of sports, including the very, very highest.

This is something we all know, but some have apparently forgotten due to their political agenda.
No, you refuse to listen because you have an agenda, you homophobic, transphobic bigot.

Wow, when are you going to admit that there is a spectrum. You keep presenting your arguments as absolutes, and they are so easily disproved by example. Yes, on average men are stronger, but it's not absolute. And it being a spectrum and not absolute for every case kills your silly argument that every man is stronger than every woman. We have given you multiple examples, why do you refuse to accept that your premise is wrong?

No, this is not something we ALL know because it isn't an absolute truth. Stop with the stupidity that absolutely every man is stronger than absolutely every woman or Serena Williams is going to stop by and kick your ass. Which wouldn't be possible in your world as all women are inferior to men.

I don't think all women are physically inferior to men, but it doesn't have to be "all" for it to be clearly unfair to female athletes.

Speaking of Serena Williams (who probably could kick my ass):

Remember when Venus and Serena claimed they could beat ANY male tennis player outside the top 200... and then the 203 ranked male player beat them back to back (6-1 & 6-2) while reportedly drinking beer before the match and during changeover?

AI Overview

In 1998, Karsten Braasch, a male tennis player ranked 203rd, defeated both Venus and Serena Williams in exhibition matches. The matches were arranged after the Williams sisters claimed they could beat any male player outside the top 200. Braasch won against Serena 6-1 and against Venus 6-2. The event highlighted the significant physical differences between male and female professional tennis players.


From USA Today:

.......What was more intriguing at that particular Australian Open was that the two siblings had something of an inflated understanding of their abilities, developed from their being fresh-faced, and still in need of a few life lessons learned. So they marched themselves into the men’s ATP office to announce rather confidently they were ready to beat any tour player ranked around the Top 200 if someone wanted to take the challenge.

It just so happened that Karsten Braasch of Germany, once a top-40 player, but at the time ranked 203rd, was in ear shot. He thought it would be fun so stepped up to say he’d be happy to take them on.

The date was set and the day arrived. Braasch played a warmup round of golf in the morning, then came to Melbourne Park. The threesome went out to a back court where each sister would have a one-set shot at Braasch. Word had spread around the grounds that the event wsa taking place, which caused tournament officials to restrict admittance to the area to only those with badges.

Braasch would smoke cigarettes and sip beer during the changeovers, and to be honest no longer looked the part of a fit professional athlete. It made no matter. Braasch led 5-0 over Serena before winning the set 6-1, and then posted a 6-2 set victory over Venus.

It was all in good fun, but 19 years later, and a record six Australian Open titles later, Williams, laughingly, insisted recall of the event was not in her memory bank.

“I forgot about that, actually,” she said, smiling, on Saturday. “Gosh, I don’t remember that at all. Gosh, that was forever ago. I don’t remember what year it was.

“I have a terrible memory,” she added, still smiling.

 


“… Mark Richards, who had taught at St. Francis Xavier Catholic School in Metairie, Louisiana, was allegedly terminated for violating his contract’s morality clause, which prohibits engaging in “homosexual activity.” However, Richards claims that administrators knew he was gay; a previous school administrator had told him his job would be safe if he kept his sexuality private, People reports. But when a parent looked into Richard’s past and saw he had been married to a man, the parent alerted the archdiocese. Richards told WDSU that he felt he was “stabbed in the back,” reflecting, “It’s just a sad reality that this is the world we live in today. It’s heartbreaking. I enjoyed teaching at this school. I loved those kids.” More than 1,500 parents have signed a petition to change the morality clause and allow Richards to return, according to the New York Post.…”

The Catholic church must only like gay priests!

Which, again, just shows that the target for right-wingers (and I know this is a Catholic school) is all LGBTQ people, and not only transgenders.

Thanks for restating this, again. I don't see how it addresses my post.

This topic isn't about me, as you and others have tried to make it.

For decades we've separated males and females. For decades we've separated by age groups. For decades we've separated by weight in some sports.

Those methods of separating were done for safety and fairness and was viewed as necessary until politics and emotions were introduced.

I understand your position, you've stated it numerous times. What I don't understand is why you quoted my post, if you weren't going to address it.

He will not. He will rather repeat his old tire retoric

He thinks that muscle mass is the only variable in the equation, fuck the psychology of it. Fuck inclusion. Fuck equality. Fuck everything that doesn't fit neatly in his transphobic LBGTQ hating narrative.

So you’re a PE teacher teaching health to 9th graders. And you do teach abstinence.

Do you have any background in biological sciences, beyond whatever couple credit hours you might’ve had to take to be a PE teacher?
