I understand your point.

And I can see where a transgender female could slot in with cisgender females on a youth soccer field based on ability.

But I have a difficult time seeing why a transgender female should be in the pool with cisgender females.

What is a cisgender? Isn't that a normal woman? The stupidity that we're dealing with continues to exponentially increase

Cisgender is the term that community uses to distinguish from transgender.

You can sub “biological” female for “cisgender female - they are the same thing.

Is the race of a mermaid an actual platform topic with the RNC???

I really do not know. I'm a member of our local Republican Party and, to my knowledge, it has never come up in a meeting, so there is no local interest in it. Never heard the state party mention it. In fact, the only place I've ever heard about it is...here in the OP's opening remark.

What about this?

Can’t imagine why all these Republikkkans are so mad about their daughters getting F’ing dominated in athletics. Biology isn’t real folks. Gender is fluid. Men can menstruate! So why are you backwood rednecks so mad about this?

Anyone got any BLUE font I can borrow?

Look on the bright side: it gets rid of Title IX maybe?

I agree that Cordarelle Patterson shouldn’t be awarded the women’s world record in the 100m if he undergoes a sex change or identifies as female or whatever. But I don’t think the article suggests that.

I also think that making Tia Claire-Toomey or other peak female athletes compete against sub-peak male competition is a bad idea. I do think the article, taken maximally, supports that.

But there might be situational applications of merit- or skills-based sports segregation, particularly among youth sports and intramural. And it might even be common sense in some situations involving sports dominated by males, like the football anecdote related by the article.

Just about all the main sports are coed at the youth…. The boys teams are considered open while the girls are strictly girls sports.

I’m pretty sure it’s that way almost anywhere but I am sure there are exceptions…. I will add if there are boys basketball teams and girls basketball teams then each gender plays on the corresponding gender… if there is only a boys team then girls were allowed to play on the boys team….. I have lived in Tennessee…. Indiana…. And now North Carolina and all have been the same way….iIt was that way all the way though High School….. I would guess the extreme rules that New York used was due to the worries over being sued.

My daughters friend is a 3 time state champion and wrestles on the boys team…. I saw at least 5-7 girls wrestling on the boys team this year…. When it came to the state tourney…. They separated the women into their own bracket.

That seems pretty reasonable to me. There were girls wrestling back when I was in HS and it was always a little uncomfortable for the guy. We never had one on our team.

Yeah…. It is very awkward for the guys…. The 100 pound class girls won several matches….. the more weight that they went up…. The more they struggled…

The issue I have with the race-swapped Ariel is that it was creatively lazy.

Instead of focusing on creating new stories (or twists on old tales), they simply cast an actor of color so different from the original Disney incarnation of that character, absolutely knowing it will cause a stir.

One of my favorite Disney animated films is The Princess & the Frog (just watched it with my children the other night, in fact). That was a creative spin on an old story that allowed for diverse characters in unique settings, and was done very well.

Unfortunately, Disney was wanting out of traditional animation business in 2008, and never gave that movie the publicity it deserved, even while the main character is a great role model for children of color, and any race.

Interestingly, the main character of the film, Tiana, is a black girl who strives hard and believes in the value of a good work ethic to accomplish her dreams. When the villain offers her success (playing on victimization), she refuses to betray her privileged friends, and resigns to remaining a frog in an act of self-sacrifice. Of course, there’s a happy ending that resolves everything, after all.

Her values of the importance of family, hard work, entrepreneurship, shunning victimization and entitlement, not having something handed to you (especially at the expense of others) are truly exemplary of conservative beliefs.

Why doesn’t Disney tell new stories like that one with people of color rather than simply trying to drum-up money through the controversy of race-swapping a previous character?

According to the leftists, the bold is just evidence of her "internalized whiteness". She is so entrenched in the white hegemony that she doesn't even realize it.
