Oil giants report windfall profits

Darla897 :
You seem to not understand that there hasn't been a single girl or parent that has said boo because there haven't been any boys in girls' sports at the hundreds of events with thousands of athletes.
Do you have personal knowledge of any boys participating in girls' sports?

Rapsalot :
And you seem to not realize that your life is not everyone's life. This issue matters to many people and should not be reduced because it isn't happening to YOU or someone YOU know.

Darla897 :
It is a trumped up issue.
Do you have personal knowledge of a boy or boys participating in girls' sports? Your refusal to answer can only mean no, right?

Rapsalot :
I don't have to specify why this matters enough for me to SAY something despite you trying to hang the argument on that point. I can say that it is NOT a trumped up issue for many and you only have to Google unbiasedly to find evidence of that. Why are YOU dodging and saying this issue is ONLY a trumped up issue based on what you personally have not witnessed.
You went there with your post and you got called on that by someone who does not feel that this issue is trumped up and now you want ME to say why it matters when it is your experiences that seem to be lacking.

Rapsalot : Sure there has.

Darla897 :
The fact is that it is not an issue in Texas because UIL rules require that athletes participate based on what their birth certificate says they were at birth. The NCAA estimateS that in the entire system it knows of fewer than 10 trans athletes in the 240,000 plus female athletes. None an athlete of note. It is trumped up. The fact that you don'tof any is consistent with that.

No one really has an issue; it's just all trumped up.
Trump gets elected; blows people's minds.No one really has an issue; it's just all trumped up.
Trump gets elected AGAIN ... dang!!!No one really has an issue; it's just all trumped up.
Vance gets elected .... dang again!!!You cannot make up the willful ignorance of the left; you just cannot MAKE this stuff up

Rapsalot :
Do you not see how you have to now relegate it/narrow it to "none an athlete of note" and Texas to prove your point. You have completely disregarded how girls feel when a male is on their team; completely and utterly disregarded their FEELINGS. That is almost abusive in nature if not so.
I rest my case; this issue matters to a lot of people both adult and children and you have had to reduce the scope, the nature, and the populace affected to feel justified to reducing this issue to basically "not relevant" and "not important".

Darla897 :
Yes, YOU can make it up.

Rapsalot :
Well, I can safely say this is not a trumped up issue at all! so negate my existence and experience and social circle if you must but you base your views on non-existence in your small world.
You can't change reality because you don't like the real life results.

Darla897 :
I narrowed it down to athlete of note because they are so inconsequential that I didn't put you on the spot by asking you to name one. I know of one, not by name that is a mediocre volleyball recruited by posting a sign at the student center because they didn't have enough players to field a team. You go ahead and fret all you like.

Rapsalot :
yes, I'm so glad you didn't put me on THE spot (as opposed to the other spot from which you reside) ..... hmmmm....

MYTH 1: No one cares about a few trans-identified males competing in female sports.FACT: The vast majority of voters DO care about males competing in the female category.
In a New York Times/IPSOS poll conducted in January, 2025, 79 percent of those polled, including 67 percent of Democrats, opposed inclusion of male athletes who "identify as female" in women's sports.

MYTH 2: Only a few trans-identified males play in female sports, so it hardly affects anyone.
FACT: The number of males playing in female sports is already large and continues to grow.
She Won, which archives the achievements of female athletes displaced by males in women's sporting events, has so far identified at least 767 female athletes who have lost 1,090 medals in 530 competitions across 40 different sports. He Cheated, which maintains a running record of males who have displaced female athletes, has so far identified female sports events in which 3,662+ victories were by males, 6,363+ top-three finishes were by males, and 11,866 + total events were affected. In addition, every male competing in the female category has a "blast radius" impact.

MYTH 3: There is no male advantage in sport.FACT: The male advantage in sport is overwhelming.
Gender identities don't play sports, bodies do. As researchers summarized in a 2025 review of the literature:"There are profound sex differences in human performance in athletic events determined by strength, speed, power, endurance, and body size such that males outperform females. These sex differences in athletic performance exist before puberty and increase dramatically as puberty progresses." (Joyner et al., 2025)Boys vs Women compared the performance of male high school athletes with that of female Olympians. None of the women's finals performances met the qualifying time to enter the boys' competition. The comparisons were between 2016 high school male New Balance Nationals Outdoor finalists and Olympic women finalists in the 100, 200, 400, and 800-meter running events.
