This addresses David Sklansky's issue about some form of financial compensation paid to the cis women who are now not making the money.

12th place! And this is your go-to example of trans women ruining sport! Just embarrassing to watch this clownshow.

lol.

Still riding this line of stupid.

Trolly you have to participate in events to raise your rank.

As a new player she had no rank until she started playing in events and with each win she rises up the ranking.

What you are saying is like mocking Michael Jordan for not setting the scoring record before he has played his first game.

YOu are not gifted these ranks Trolly. Be smarter.

I mean god forbid a non-biowoman becomes a top-ten player. The sport would be ruined!!!

Not contradictory; I have very mixed feelings about the types of weight loss surgery that remove organs as well. More recently I have known people who got the elastic bands or other methods that don't remove organs though.

But anyway, I wasn't trying to say that removing healthy organs is necessarily wrong, just that it makes me seriously question the idea of allowing young people whose brains have not fully matured to make such a permanent decision.

Yes and if your opinion became manifest in the world it would be the ultimate in mansplaining.

1. I am a women who enjoys sports very much and would like to play in an organised way with divisions.

2. Representative of the Chillrob authority: Sorry no divisions for women, we dont see the point, oh and its for your own good, because reasons.

Its fine to have opinions but you have to be very self reflective when proposing an opinion that is going to frustrate the lived experience and happiness of other human beings.

You might not enjoy sporting activity or see the point of it, but millions do.

It is interesting that chess, billiards, other such activities are dominated by males. Even the video game I watch the only 2 high level women players are both trans.

If my proposing an opinion frustrates your happiness, you need to stop taking the opinions of random people on the internet so seriously.

It is not hard to understand really. Even darts is dominated by mne.

Number of participants focused on competing in the same area, followed by quality of infrastructure, dictates success at the highest levels more than any other factor amongst common opponents.

As they say, steal sharpens steal. And men just participate more, thus allowing for segregation into tiers (all star, elite, etc) where the best can face the best and so on.

I know two guys who were near identical in hockey and both thought to make the pro's. One guy got called up to the pro's and even though he rarely started his game just pulled away from his best buddies because he was now in a competitive field where he was now amongst the weaker guys on the team (pro team) and his buddy was stuck at a level where he was one of the best on the team.

Transwomen are the only group who throw this dynamic on its head. Without strength in numbers, they simply just dominate cis women sport at ridiculous levels.

Its what your opinion would do if its made manifest, you seem to be struggling with this.

Oh cool, so now we’re mad at trans women competing at anything at any level.

A top player speaks!

For sure, I think the interesting question is why men participate more? Even online games where no one knows your gender is like 90+% male.

Sounds like a hater! She should just git gud. /s

How exactly do you know this?

The whole power serve and put away game of the men might not be better (for fans) than longer rallies.

You seem to be struggling with the fact that someone with a unique opinion expressed on the internet is extremely unlikely to effect any change in the real world.
Also, the part that you find discriminatory was just a halfway point in my grand vision of the complete end of all competitive sports.

Always liked women's tennis better as they have lots of rallies. Short skirts don't hurt the cause either.

That is completely and utterly irrelevant.

The validity of an opinion is its effect if manifest, what is the point of an opinion if you are not measuring it as a reality.

You are right I don't know this. I guess this based on the fact that the game I am into the top 200 players have 2 trans women and the rest are men.

It sounds like their gender is actually known, then.

It is a such a strange opinion, imo.

Which is fine as people can hold strange opinions. But i think i saw you in another thread again opining the end of all women's sport would be a positive in your opinion.

I am curious why you think that, if you care to elaborate?

We know a surprising percent of posters on this forum also have disdain for women's sport generally and would be fine seeing it ended (some say 'all sport') if trans women are not accommodated with the women's division, which shows they put very little value on the sport beyond its value to a trans person, but your position seems even more extreme than this.

War may have been the original team sport, but I don't think we can infer from that fact that all modern sports promote violence.

It's true that there is a competitive element to sports, but there is a competitive element to baking competitions and science fairs, and we don't assume that those activities promote violence.

Sports almost certainly provide an outlet for tribalism and competitiveness. And maybe help promote healthy exercise.

Are you suggesting that sports are a healthy outlet that reduces spillover of inherent tribalism and competitiveness into less productive arenas, or are you suggesting that sports amplify tribalism and competitiveness outside the arena of sport?
