Youth sports have a significant impact on the development of all children. Sports provide children opportunities to build their social skills and confidence, as well as improve their sense of belonging and physical fitness.
What happens to these spaces when adults are given permission to inspect a child’s body to determine their gender?
The Supreme Court rulings on Little v. Hecox and West Virginia v. B.P.J. decided that transgender girls cannot play sports that align with their gender identity. Not only does this ruling essentially prohibit transgender kids from participating in most youth sports – codifying the exclusion this vulnerable population already experiences – it also puts all children at risk of the harmful consequences of body surveillance.
Yeah they’re about how an arbitrary organisation has decided to, again arbitrarily, split up the messy and complicated mess that is “”““biological sex””“”".
But how do you propose they arbitrate without ‘acting arbitrarily’?
Here’s a crazy idea: don’t.
There’s plenty of competitions without (much) arbitration. Not so much in boxing though
Then it’s on you to suggest an non-arbitrary basis of arbitration, since it’s so important to you.
By the way, since you care so much about women’s boxing, can you name three female boxers without googling? Or is this about something else?
It’s important to me to arbitrate non-arbitrarily? No.
And yes, I can
Cool how you ignore everything else except my choice of the word “arbitrary”
You want them not to split up the competition between sexes? A noble idea, but I don’t think that’s going to turn out as well as you think it will
Did you read my comment or the image I attached, at all?
