The Trangenderism in Sports Arguments

I asked an AI LLM for both sides of this issue.

Arguments for allowing transgender girls to compete in girls' sports:

Inclusion and equal opportunity for all students to participate in school activities

Mental health benefits of sports participation and team belonging

Anti-discrimination principles - treating all students fairly regardless of gender identity

Educational value of inclusive environments that prepare students for diverse workplaces

Individual assessment rather than blanket policies may be more appropriate Many argue that school sports should prioritize participation and development over pure competition

There are no mental health benefits. No one's mental health has ever been improved by letting boys compete against girls.

The other arguments are all against letting the boys compete. Nearly everyone believes that equal opportunity and fairness require letting girls compete against other girls, and not boys.

Arguments for maintaining sex-based categories:

Biological differences in muscle mass, bone density, and physical development that typically emerge during puberty

Concerns about competitive fairness, scholarships, and records in girls' sports

Safety considerations in contact sports

Preserving opportunities that Title IX was designed to create for female athletes Arguments that separate categories serve important purposes in maintaining competitive balance

These arguments are better, but do not go far enough.

The differences between boys and girls are not just puberty muscles. They affect many psychological and behavioral traits, and have cultural importance.

Sports are sex segregated not just for muscle and bone fairness and safety. It is also for all those other differences.

I do not see the arguments on either side addressing those other differences. I wonder why. Is it because they believe those differences do not exist? Or that the differences are not relevant to sports? Or that some important social goal is achieved by trying to minimize or ignore those differences?

I do not know. People talk about the puberty muscle differences as if those are the only ones, so maybe they do not know about others. On the other hand, even the transgender advocates talk about sex differences before puberty as being real and substantial, so they must recognize the differences. And they obviously think that the differences are relevant to sports, as that is why they push transgenderism in sports.

So my conclusion is that they have some ideological purpose in pushing transgender sports, even if it has negative consequences for everyone involved. Those reasons would be similar to the reasons for progressive pride flags. It serves to undermine social norms that certain people hate.

Gymnast Simone Biles was in the news promoting transgenderism, but why? She is a freak with a height of 4'8". I would not be surprised if she used drugs to suppress her growth. It is known that she uses performance-enhancing drugs under a controversial exemption she was granted. The creepiest thing about her is her allegations against Larry Nassar, the disgraced gymnast physician. I think she is lying. She only complained just in time to collect on the millions in settlements. Apparently she made enemies with her pro-transgender, and she had to issue an apology. Riley Gaines said it was very strange that Biles attacked Larry Nassar, while giving a pass to transgender sex abusers.
