I am appalled at the number of disrespectful, mean spirted and ugly posts today. So many adding their comments about something they know nothing.
I tried to find the posters name who posted abt African American male genitalia so that I could request that he be banned from this site. So disgusting and inappropriate. But the post must have been removed. Nearly every day it is shocking to read what people post on Talk of the Villages. An embarrassment. The ideal would be that this community be welcoming, kind and inclusive rather than what it is. |

As a female athlete, I have competed at the national and international level. In the past, I was made aware of transgender athletes competing and opted out of those competitions, as my husband, a doctor, explained the physiology advantages.
My take on transgender athletes is that they should be allowed to compete, but against each other. There should be a separate division for them. I mean, we have special olympics, para-olympics, etc. There is no need to shame or berate or call them freaks, but there are physical differences and this should be addressed so that everyone can compete in a fair and safe environment. And I emphasize the latter. If you want to see what a trans can do to women athletes, search for Fallon Fox who has fractured skulls and broken opponent’s bones. Not all sports are non-contact. The International Olympic Committee states that an athlete has to be at a specific hormone level for only one year to qualify. The athlete does not have to undergo any surgery. This is a huge advantage for men, who might not be able to qualify in their division, to transition and compete as a woman. As Olympic and pro athletes get a great deal of endorsement money, I believe you are going to see more men going in this direction. Thus, I hope that more women will ban together and protest. After all, when the top 14-16 year old boys can crush women’s world records set in track and field, there is clearly a reason that men and women separately compete. I believe it only fair that this should remain the standard and thus a new division be created for trans athletes. |

I agree with you completely. This thread-start was destined (and perhaps designed) to go down this road. I have been on TOTV since its beginning and throughout all those years, I never reported a thread. But that has changed — and I don’t like it. I flagged this one early, very early. Yet, here we are, past 100 posts, most of which are some seriously ugly stuff. And, yes, I also saw the one you mentioned. But I would not be surprised if the one who posted it is still among us. There was a time though when that would have meant an instant banning. Btw, accepting though I am and a kind soul, too, I do not think transgender athletes should be allowed to compete in women’s sports. I think that because it is not fair competition and because my common sense tells me so. That being said, I do not think hate-mongering is ever acceptable. And the subject at hand invited that and the spewing has been allowed to continue. There is a pattern lately of certain posters being allowed to really push the envelope — actually it’s turned into more than that — it goes beyond. I do not understand why this is happening. But it is now the bent of TOTV. (And I need to stop deluding myself that it will get better around here.) Boomer Last edited by Boomer; 05-21-2021 at 12:19 PM. |

. sorry Boomer - DO NOT blame the 'messenger'....OP. I felt this would be a very topical and interesting Thread. So (as usual) some responders push the envelope and vent their strong personal opinions. OF COURSE if some of these are offensive, personal, or abuse ToTV rules - DELETE and WARN, or worse, the OFFENDERS. But "destined to go down a road"??? ANY Thread can do this if some responders take it that way... But to (often) state that the THREAD & OP is the 'problem' - is offensive to me. So, if some abuse the rules or are offensive - do not allow others to provide their views on a good topic??? If you do have issues with "ugly stuff" flag it to the Mods - and if you are still dissatisfied email THEM. But to stifle what could (and should) be interesting feedback and opinions of a current topic - is CANCEL Culture. . . . .

Nothing on here is "ugly" ...... it's just normal, diverse, human reaction to a subject that is complicated and offends many people's sense of morality.
