In reply to the discussion: CNN Opinion: Anti-Trans Republicans Don't Give a Damn About Women's Sports [View all]gulliver
(13,205 posts)7. It's unjust for Dems to hand women's sports to Republicans
The NCAA was negligent to let Lia Thomas compete in women's athletic events without scientific proof that she lacks an unfair advantage conferred by going through puberty as a male. Thomas doesn't have to prove she's a woman (she is). Science has to prove she doesn't have an unfair advantage over other women.
Republicans have a history of slighting and neglecting women's sports. So why would we hand women's sports to Republicans? That would be unjust.

Calling a transwoman "male privilege" and lecturing us about chromosomes is a personal attack

Gladly and with enthusiasm. They're going to exploit this no matter what you do.
