      8/ no, your proposal EXACTLY undoes the core point that I'm making: if the SJWs are going to make it illegal to think in terms of "men" and "women", then follow that to the conclusion, to achieve what you want while removing their objection.https://twitter.com/UedamaProducts/status/1101135082490945546 …

      This is the proper answer, though I'd list them as "no drug use men, no drug use women, anything goes".

      This is approximately already the case. Certain sports / events have maximum T requirements for the women's events. The standards were applied to naturally intersex athletes even before transgenderism became fashionable.

      I now see your point, and apologize for missing it earlier. That said, your proposal isn't any better, for the same reason you castigate mine. You mis-state the "political reality". You can't extrapolate from the wrong core principle.

      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?

          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

          A friend in college was a male XXY who had fathered a child. (Because he appeared normally male he wouldn't usually have been tested, but his dad was nave at a time when all Navy-hospital newborns got tested.)
