Nice of you to bring religion into a discussion that has absolutely NOTHING to do with religion...

The only hate I see is from you. It's not hate to think that someone with a significant physical advantage, due to being born (and going thru puberty) as a male should not be allowed to compete with women...

Yes... But high tops don't really do anything as far as ankle protection goes...

May you be blessed with a transgender grandchild.

Where did the person you called fearful say anything close to that?

Why should facts get in the way of some peoples arguments.

As lawyers have said when the facts are on your side pound on the law.

When they are against you pound on the table.

I agree 100%.

I'd actually be more concerned if YOU went into the bathroom with your granddaughter. Pedophilia is more prevalent in straight older males than in gay or trans women.

Actually, you have more power as a customer than you have as someone who doesn't help them profit.

You also have more power as a shareholder.

If you really want them to change their tune, you'll buy stock in their company and attend their stockholder meetings, and use your power of the vote to make them change.

Until then, it's just more noise from Charlie Brown's teacher.

He obviously meant using the women's room...

It's just that my dog is much cuter than I am...

Get woke, go broke.

Given the extremely small percentage of the total population I do not view the participating companies as "marketing" anything.
They are promoting a specific attribute of the special interest group to the masses.

Therein lies the core problem.....pandering to the special interest groups ignoring/trampling the rights of the majority.

The "whataboutism" is strong in this one...

So how would you feel if a woman with a significant physical advantage over other women, due to being born (a physically amazing gene pool) as a woman, wanted to compete with other women?

Or hm - a woman with prodigial hand-eye coordination, that most golfers lack, competing in womens' golf against other women who don't have that prodigial hand-eye coordination?

Should Tiger Woods have been rejected from pro-golf because he has a significant biological advantage over other golfers (golf is both a physical and mental sport, and he mastered it from both ends, something others COULD NOT DO)?

How about [insert name] the pro-football running back who can do whatever the heck he does better than any other football player due to his physicality? Should he be disqualified so that lesser men can have a chance at winning?

A woman with naturally broad-shouldered frame and narrow hips will have a much higher shot at being a championship swimmer than a woman with narrow shoulders and wider hips. Should that broad-shouldered woman not be permitted to compete?

People are both however they're born, and their physicality doesn't prevent them from competing. In fact, often it's their physicality that allows them to win. Do we tell those with superior physicality that they're no longer allowed to compete because it's not fair to those with less superior physicality? No, no we don't. In fact, we applaud it, and pay them the winning prize for it.

UNTIL you start talking about something that you don't understand or fear. Then it's a bad thing. Physical traits becomes taboo, no longer permitted. THIS physical trait will ruin the game, it gives everyone else an unfair advantage.

Maybe they should just check testosterone levels. If your levels are on par with the levels of the rest of the people on your team, then you can play. If they're not, you can't. No matter what your DNA says you are. A man with super-low testosterone levels as a result of genetic mutation, should be able to compete on the womens' team. In fact, change the names. No more womens' teams and no more mens' teams. Make it Hi-T and Low-T.

You want it to be fair, then go down that road instead. The presence or absence of a ***** or vagina doesn't mean diddly, except in the case of reproduction and whether or not it's easy to pee standing up.
