People should play sports based on ability not gender. Women only recently have had access to real equipment and training bc funding alwats favored men. Women are advancing at much higher rates compared to men in reference to where they were a decade or so ago. This will only continue with increased training. Muscle mass in its own dies not make a good athlete. There are many other factors and combination of factors. If someone can meet demands to get in a team they should have entry.
I don’t see the picture where it says we only want to compete with men— that’s impossible. Women can’t comprte if it’s onky with men bc then there’s be no women competing... Sounds like it was written just to make people look stupid for wanting to play sports not play gender.
I personalty don't like sports, but I think the idea of combining the sexes is stupid as shit.
There's a story out of Seattle, where a feminist sports reporter claimed she was being discriminated against. She said it wasn't fair that she wasn't allowed in the Seahawks' locker room. She complained that her male counterparts had an edge over her, and were scooping the story.
She mistakingly thought her cause would win the hearts and minds of her fellow sisters. LOL
NOPE. All the mothers with daughters, called in and wanted to rip her head off.
Because if you allow THAT, then you have to allow male reporters in their daughters' locker rooms. :) Suffice it to say that she lost her cause.
Hell hath no fury like a mama bear protecting her cubs.
I think segregated sports is fine and am ok with the initial usage of title IX in this case. Title IX was about providing equal access to facilities on the basis of sex in education. It was basically just stating that the CRA applies to schools which receive public funding.
The interesting issue comes in with transgender and it’ll come up whether we interpret the CRA as protecting gender or sex.
No, that kind of defeats the whole idea of taking differing physical abilities into consideration.
There are SOME sports however where I think mixed teams would be possible and perhaps even beneficial. For example curling or bob riding. I also think tennis is one of those sports where it'd be fair to have a woman compete against a man. Admittedly though, I'm not exactly a tennis expert.

u In case anyone hasn't noticed, there are differences between men and women. If you want to ignore obvious significant differences, we could say that it is ageist to have 9-10 year old boys not complete against 14-15 year old boys in football.
Okay here's the thing. I have two suggestions on how to solve this issue.
1# Make only one league with both/all (if you believe in them) sexes. This way to everyone will fight in an equal level. And what you identify is would be important. A man would be able to fight against a much weaker woman cause they would be a big difference in their scores. Best man and women will fight each other, and the weaker ones won't be able to fight them untill that can stand thear ground.
2# I you believe that gender and sex are two different things why don't just say that sex is what you physically are and gender is what you identify as. This way we can make stuff like sport, which are purely physical, into man and woman decided by sex. If your a transgender man you will still fight in the woman's league cause what you feel like doesn't matter in sports. And I believe this sistem could be used in other similar situations like with toilets. A transgender woman won't be able to creep on other woman in a woman bathroom because going to the bathroom is something purely physical and thus would be judged by sex not gender.
Tell me what you think. I think this would satisfy both parties.
Logic dictates that, no, we should not. It doesn't take a genius to acknowledge that on average, men tend to be physically stronger and faster. Women tend to be far more flexible. It's just a fact of life. Of course there are a lot of factors and exceptions, but the type of hormones your body produces is a very, very big factor.
Being trans, and particularly biologically male, gives an athlete a physical edge. After all, testosterone is a natural anabolic steroid.
I'm curious I'd come has done some peer-reviewed scientific recital that compares the rate of athletic success in trans vs. non-trans folk.
Honestly... I come from a more traditional view of things and I believe that sports should be divided by gender, where possible. (example of not possible: my high school didn't have enough girls interested to make a girls' hockey team, so they let girls try out for the boys team)
nooo males are biological stronger then women and if men compete in women sport or women compete in men sports not make women sound weak but the women are probably going to get hurt because the dudes are too strong women with women and men with men that is the way it should be
I am going with separating the events. In my views both males and females have physical traits that could be of benefit over the other sex.
As way of example, generally speaking (not always true in all cases) males grow stronger than females during the teen years. As a result this means males usually can lift more weight than females. Making females compete against males would be a disadvantage to females. There are many other examples where females would be advantaged, etc.
The only sports were mixed sexes would work would be mind games like chest, poker, etc.
LOL. The U. S. women's team also lost 5-0 to the FC Dallas under 15 boy's team.
Honestly, I feel if they want to get killed, give them a chance. But on the other hand, I prefer having men's leagues and women's leagues. Men and women compete at different levels.
They shouldn't get equal pay as men unless they compete against them. Using tennis as an example, the women get the same pay as the men, but only compete at a level of a man that makes 2% of the pay.
They should keep the sports and other stuff separate, except anyone that identifies as a feminist should be required to only play in men's leagues, especially in stuff like MMA. :) lol
Its simple Biology, female bodies work different, we can't change thousands of years of evolution. Mostly! !
there are some sports where it doesn't matter... i think tennis is one of them? But besides that just keep it apart.
Women participating in men's sports won't change anything for men as they are still gonna dominate , but women could forget about the idea of being champion as that's never gonna happen. If men participates in women's sports then it's good news for men as they are gonna dominate. And same as the previous scenario women will be the ones who will suffer. No wonder why majority of the people chose option B. It's all facts and logic Ben Shapiro style baby.
I think they should be allowed. I see everyone is talking about women being physically weaker than men. And, while I think generally speaking that's correct, that isn't always the case. So, is it fair that the women who are physically gifted can't compete against men? I don't think so.
Realistically if qe have mixed teams then the only way to make it work would be to force teams to have a certain number of female players and rules ensuring they get game time. simply put if male athletes outperform female ones (as they generally seem to do) then only male players would get to play.
All sports are segregated based on maturity, the human body, and skill. For example you wouldn't want an NFL lineman playing on a pop warner kids football team. Also you can't see a division III making it very far quarterbacking an SEC school. This is done because it helps keep the sport competitive and allows the athletes to achieve based on hard work and dedication. So no, keep the sports as they are currently set up.
Sports of that caliber should be seperated due to safety and having an equal playing field. Sports like pool, darts, or chess (anything like this) should be open to both men and women alike because neither has a biological advantage over the other
No. Men are more athletic then women they are stronger and faster physically. I would hate to see women on the football field agenst men a 150 pound women vs a 300 pound guy that’s a Recipe for disaster, the women probably would brake something or get a concussion or worse.
Obviously depends on sport - Physique based it can be tried but men should sweep the board - Non physique based sports pool, snooker, darts etc I don't see why not
I think that there should be a limit and just stay separated. I'm kinda sick of everyone whining about equality and then when they get what they asked for they're still not satisfied. Ugh😒 Just let things be, at least the minor things like who cares!!! We have bigger issues to worry about than sports...
Personally given the state of affairs we are in today. I think we should require male participation in female events. Like affirmative action kinda. Then maybe people will realize just how stupid it would s to have men in women’s sports.
oml noooooooo whyyyyyyyyyyyy hunnnyyyyyyyss this isn't equalityyyyyyyyyy
Women have their own sports for a reason. There wouldn't be much female winners if they had to compete against men. At least when strengh is a big factor in the sport. But If a women qualifies, and is better than her male competitors, I don't see a reason not to let her play in a major league like NBA or something. After all getting the best players would be in the teams interest.
