the solution to the trans athlete thing is simple: Ditch male / female teams, and create "low testosterone" and "unlimited" teams. Pitch it as a matter of student safety. If you have less than x testosterone, you can join the low T team. Everyone else joins the unlimited team.

9/ And your team's rebuttal is "well, yeah, but we SHOULD do X, if only we had the power to...and we should have the power!" yeah, well, if wishes were fishes we're only engaged in this thread because we don't have the power.

12/ I already explained this: BECAUSE YOU DO NOT HAVE THE POLITICAL POWER TO HAVE THAT. If folks want to daydream about "what if the US was 95% red, what laws would we pass?" go ahead. I'm interested in "given it's 50% blue and the Cathedral won..." https://twitter.com/MsMakita/status/1101143939162157058 …

13/ 1) so any girl who has any testosterone at all is male? OK, all girls are male. 2) HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO EXPLAIN THAT THIS THREAD IS THE ART OF THE POSSIBLE GIVEN THE ACTUAL POLITICAL REALITIES ON THE GROUND?

14/ ok, so if dad throws a football to Suzie, then she competes on the boy's team? Or if Suzie is a tomboy and refuses to wear skirts, again, boys team? https://twitter.com/morganwarstler/status/1101148268648644609 …

16/ I don't see this as an anti-trans proposal! I see it as fair to cismen, ciswomen, and trans. Gender classes in sports exist (like weight classes) for a reason: to create categories that foster competition (everyone has a CHANCE to win, w hard work) https://twitter.com/KingMythro/status/1101153060037058565 …

17/ I'm extropian, so I support (and expect) that over the coming centuries we'll see people bioengineered with extra muscles, extra lung capacity, etc. We'd certainly want categories for folks with genes XYZ for lung capacity vs QRS lung capacity, no?

18/ My goals in this thread are three-fold: * Red tribe: preserve fairness for cisgirls * Blue tribe: preserve openness and let everyone in society engage in societal rituals * Gray tribe: accept human augmentation / bio-hacking / extropianism as given /shrug

19/ No, this is bad, because there are androgen insensitive XYs who are women, there are chimeras, there are intersex people, etc. Odd how socialcons attack the biological reductionism of the left c. 1960, then embrace it c. 2020.https://twitter.com/Crowesq/status/1101168833488961538 …

20/ And worse than merely embracing crass materialism, it goes out of the way to miss the core issue that we're actually trying to solve: people w different musculature / testosterone levels competing. Your XX category allows female-to-males who are taking T to compete w girls

23/ Clearly the solution is for Red Team to use its 80 senate seats and control of both the media and universities to implement the policies it wants, instead of compromising. https://twitter.com/HanginDong/status/1101175425336860673 …
