Abolish all sports.

The only answer.

The best answer is to make all sports gender neutral. Will most men be stronger than most women (on average?) Yes, but both teams will have a mix of men and women, and there are exceptions to every average. Gender Neutral and be done with it. Bathrooms and sports are both very inconsequential topics to society, there is not need for this amount of drama from either side, just make both gender neutral and everyone will be happy.


I agree with this thought.

I personally don't care who the best man or woman is in a sport. Just tell me who is the best.

But what is your opinion? I’ll ask you a few questions for a framework.

1. If someone is born with male parts should they be able to declare that they are a woman and be treated as such? Woman’s bathroom, women’s swimming team, Miss America contest, women’s prison?
2. Should taxpayer money be used to surgically remove and change the sex organs?
3. Do you consider someone who claims they are the other gender to be suffering from a mental disorder?


I straight up called it topsy turvy. When I was growing up, if you were born with a vagina/vulva, you were a Female for LIFE. If you had a penis/testicles, you were a male for LIFE. Now people can claim they are the EXACT opposite of what they were born as. It's just plain weird/topsy turvy to me. 💡

this is an argument that there is no need for women's sports

a mix of men and women would not work at all in contact sports

a mix of men and women in non-contact sports would exclude many women who wanted to have this experience.

Ironically, the Feds charged hard to make men's and women's sports supported equally* not so long ago. Now the push seems to be this 'brave new world' thing.

PS I don't care for women's sports, none of it

* made a huge difference. The US women's soccer team didn't exist until 1985

I'm a huge fan of Womens Olympic sports
Very entertaining to me
Just look at the excitement of a Woman winning a gold medal

Can we wait at least until after the Celtics win the title, so they can go out on top?

Just think how much more excited they would be if she beat both the best men and best women in the sport.
