Georgia state Senate passes bill banning transgender girls from playing on girls' sports teams, with House speaker proposing a ban on puberty-blocking drugs.
Comparatively underdeveloped brains? Testicles precariously placed for maximum injury? I’ll give you that members of the female gender commonly have looser/stretchier skin and potentially lower muscle density.
But also the girls I grew up with, grew faster and were taller than the boys at the same age. Eventually we caught up, but there was a period in there where playing sports against the girls my age gave them an advantage. Maybe 200,000+ years of human evolution already mostly solved this problem, and it’s not actually about protecting children, but being an asshole to trans kids.
Generally this is true, but not for trans people, or for individuals. The best WNBA player is probably better than the worst NBA player, for example. And for trans athletes, it’s complicated, to say the least: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10641525/
Biological males have an advantage over females, the ban isn’t about their genitals.
How would you propose biological sex be determined in girls’ sports?
