WOW! Is This Really Safe Or Fair? Controversial Win Sparks International Debate

[@PhilipDeFranco]

In advance: The reason I didn't use the final story (The most serious story) as the thumbnail/title, is I feel weird about pulling people in to these ad supported videos with a tragedy. I want to cover it because its important, but I don't want my videos to be tragedy porn. Obviously I cover news and its expected that bad shit is going to happen, but it just feels dirty to me these days. Just thought I'd try to explain for any people who see the title and think Im saying the attack is of lesser importance. Anyway, love you guys and I'll see you tomorrow.

[@jamescousins2367]

Philip DeFranco Nothing but love to you Phil, thank you for your balanced and thorough coverage, not just now but on a daily basis

[@Renji9031]

As long as it's Philip DeFranco trying to be as Philip DeFranco as you can be, Phil, I'm good.

[@smokemeakipperskipperillbe4853]

We all know the protocol by now - 1. This has nothing to do with Islam. 2. The guy was a mentally ill 'lone wolf'. 3. Those who object to points 1 and 2 are racist bigots. 4. Change Facebook profile to flag of inflicted country. 5. Light some candles, hold a vigil and go on a peace march. 6. Wait for the next slaughter to happen. 7. Repeat

[@justthefirstlevel]

A news broadcaster who is NOT willing to use a devastating tragedy to get more views? I think you're going to do quite alright with that news channel Phil.

[@Wgyojcd]

oh

[@nhall129]

Always impressed with the amount of care and respect you show when covering topics like the final story today. Spotlighting the heroes and not using the story as a marketing ploy is one of the MANY reasons i come back everyday

[@KyleOConnell22897]

I respect the hell out of you for not using the attack in the title or the thumbnail!

[@lexgold6175]

KyleLFC97 there's nothing wrong with it, as long as he talks about it... preferably with details. I could understand someone's frustration if he put it in the title then skims past it.

[@wearelegion5533]

My humble opinion... Men and women are EQUAL but not the SAME. This is clearly unfair.

[@TheAutistocrat]

Same and equal are synonymous. Having equal rights is different from actually being equal.

[@oggyboggy8692]

TylerType Are YOU ok?

[@shogun5599]

Physically we are not and will not ever be equal. We can be equal in terms of how we treat each-other. But Men will always be physically superior

[@danielbricker7204]

physically stronger, superior i think is the wrong word. women are typically more dexterous

[@Beefanney]

Kitty genovese, a woman in the 1960s was stabbed by a man over 30 times in an alley way, easily seen by dozens of people. In one case, two people even moved their armchairs to the window to sit down and see better. This went on for over 30 minutes before police were called by someone. When the 35+ people who saw were questioned on why they didn't do anything, they said they just assumed someone else would. This has been recreated (obviously fake) with different groups of people, but when more than 6+ people are in a group, there is a less than 10% chance that someone will help. When it's down to 1-2 people known seeing the incident, it's closer to 90%. So when you see someone on the side of the road and you say, "oh someone else will help", that's probably not true. Just be that one person who creates the 10%

[@CenturyBoyLanding]

Bethanney Winder i heard about this. I heard it was more of a psychological case of those people.

[@MarlbrowFox]

Bethanney Winder Just recently in Hong Kong a video went viral in which a group of people watch a man burn death in an upside-down car. Nobody tried to help him.... as screamed in agony...

[@toughluck78]

Bethanney Winder : This story is a myth. Look further into it and you'll see the facts dont match the anecdotes.

[@Liaam_back]

Bethanney Winder the number of people who witnessed this is exaggerated (I'm a psychology student) but nonetheless it is horrible to imagine a world where no one intervenes when such crimes take place

[@tanzeemahmed7196]

Anthony Ozie I loved Theresa May's message about how the voices of evil will never drive us apart and any attempt to separate us is doomed to fail. I may not agree with all of her policies but she has said something that shows the world we are all united in this country and all together mourning this tragedy.

[@TheIrishKat]

As someone from the UK it means a lot to see that kind of love from you and from many people in the comments, its a tragic thing that should never happen, but the support is amazing and beautiful, much thanks.

[@LolaMoonly]

Phil, I've loved your show for a long time now - today you upped the ante. The way you reported on the horrific attack on London was above reproach.

I don't think trans people should be allowed to compete with non trans people in sports. Trans people can not be fairly placed among either of the genders in sports. I know it seems unfair to trans people, but I just don't see any other way to ensure fairness in the competitions.

[@deeman010gdj]

Trans v. Trans seems fair until the tech gets to the point where there's no difference (maybe not in my lifetime)

[@joeyno137]

cough special Olympics

[@riza4086]

I think the main problem is not Trans people but more Trans Men. Men who have the the physic and biological components that make them physically better in running or lifting competing with women. Women who want to compete against men in the Olympics will get dominated.

[@SANTARII]

Whether or not trans women who have had female typical testosterone for over a year can compete equally with women, is a decision I think should be left up to medical professionals who understand the biology involved and the effects of hormone treatment.

[@aniyahlawrence8356]

deeman010gdj wouldn't it be, and sorry if I'm rude, male against female again? You can't change your sex. I have no prob with trans by the way

[@wkachicken]

Your a great guy, being from the UK people have been asking me if this attack has changed my mind on becoming a police officer and i have said no, My mind has been set to help people and my heart goes out to the people who have been effected by this terrible attack x

[@samwildman4165]

wkachicken I completely agree with you on that. I also live in the U.K and I share the same opinion and also wanna be a police officer. If anything this motivates me to try and protect people.

Fun fact. The Australian National Women's Soccer team lost to a high school boys' team 7-0. I believe in equal rights for everyone, but let's not become science deniers in the process.

[@Sleepy_dev6]

As someone who plays sports I don't know how to take this trans issue. Men and women are so structurally different that throwing a transitioning person (one taking hormones) is unfair to both parties in both male and female sport divisions. Maybe there should be a new category, like how the Paralympics work- but that doesn't exactly mean fairness either...

[@gruwidge]

I 100% agree with you, I'm stuck with what they would do.

Hey, Phil, i really appreciate this show! It's a daily highlight dude

[@matthewjamesmjw4172]

I used to, then it was taken over by the right-wingers ;/ Phil still likes to pretend to be moderate though

[@milanosrp]

Phil's pretty left...

[@kpanik249]

Matthew James | MJW phill is really levelled, like not his outlook but how he presents his show, also, he said he's left.

[@zacpier]

He is pretty moderate. You're probably left-wing, so I can imagine it would be hard to see through his criticism of the left-wing, but he also criticizes the right-wing a hell of a lot. I am pretty center, but more left leaning. He seems to be right around where I am in terms of political viewpoint, but even with that considered, he manages to leave his opinion completely outside of the topic until he explicitly introduces it with a phrase like "and here's my opinion on this story." There are tons of right-wingers in his audience, just as there are left-wingers. That's the beauty of the thing. If it were any other way, then the conversation would slowly drift from slight bias to echo chamber, which helps nobody. This spectrum of thought and opinion makes the community behind this channel something to be respected: it's a thoughtful and encouraging room for discussion from both sides that leads to everyone having a broad understanding of what's happening in the world around them.

[@AtomicWhiskers]

milanosrp he's a libertarian. He's very moderate, obviously leaning left or right on certain issues, but overall moderate

[@mftnbeats]

What people need to realize about the Fallon Fox situation is that she hid the fact that she was born a man. Just some food for thought as that part is always glossed over. I'm down for trans people in athletics until it comes to combat sports. If the women who fight a trans MMA fighter know of their opponent's history and consent, then that's their choice. I still think that with the male structure and the fact that the effects of testosterone are permanent even post transition, that combats sports should not be putting people in situations that would not be safe. There's a reason why performing enhancing drugs are not allowed in combat sports. Its not bigotry, its about safety.

[@supermanprimal6273]

Malcolm From The North I want your opinion I'm 23 and served in the marine corps for 4 years and my boy still inside says they're allowing trans in and I'm not ok with that because of things like rape hazing and fitness standards it's like having 100men to 1 woman and vise versa it's just not safe all branches have 4btns and in my opinion it they wanna do it the right way they have to make a 5th just got trans then there's also are they allowed to go to combat because women can't go on combat deploys yet

[@gingercore69]

Well... Some changes that testosterone does are permanent... Like vocal chords thickening... But muscles, bones, neuronal and other changes like those actually are not permanent... If you investigate trans people, you will notice that trans women lose alot of their muscle mass, the only real advantages they have are the bone density... Wich is a bit more usually, but not always... And its within the range of what a woman with thick bones might have... The types of muscle fibers... Wich would be more fast twitch and less slow twitch... Wich means they can punch or kick a little harder but gas out waaay faster(and black girls have more or less about the dame amount of fast twitch muscles than a trans white girl... So that is not that much of a difference) The bone structure... Wich means they can punch and choke harder, but kicking, throws, trips and many other techniques that use the hip mass are weaker than cis women... And the "satelite cells" wich is something that steroid users who used in the past and stopped have too... It is what is used for muscle recovery from training mostly... Means they can train a little bit harder... But usually the difference is not much... Because of that, no one cares if you used steroids once as long as you dont keep using them in sports...

[@Megan9689]

A co-worker of mine just saved a guy in a parking lot. We are not in the medical field at all too just fyi. He knew CPR and saw a guy on the ground in a parking lot with a woman kneeling beside the guy freaking out. He jumped out of his car and performed CPR for 20 minutes before EMTs arrived. The dude overdosed on heroin. Anywho, co-worker said he was so exhausted but just kept pushing himself with help from adrenaline. You never know when you can help and be a hero, so its good to know basic first aid and CPR! My co-worker is a hero in my eyes!

[@jakemccluremd]

mc15cp if no one else is around to help you: call 911, grab an AED if you know where it is, and quickly get going with chest compressions… no longer need to do the mouth-to-mouth breaths.

[@skyedizenzo5407]

It's not fair at all. No matter how hard people try to make us equal, men and women are NOT biologically the same. That's not opinion. It's literally in our genetics

[@wldct69]

Skyelar Bryant you're right but too many people don't want to admit that. They want to be equal! Men can't have babies and we aren't pissed about that. Lol wtf

[@runawaypacman]

True

[@SANTARII]

That's true they're not, but we're not just talking about men vs women, we're talking about people born male who are taking hormone treatments which biologically change them. You have to take that into account, biology is what matters here. Do trans women who have had female hormones for over a year still have an advantage? I don't know, but the doctors on the IOC don't seem to think so, and any argument against that is going to have to be based in biology. We're not talking about typical men vs women, we're talking about otherwise biological males with female hormones.

[@DanielBMaximoff]

Yeah but libtards today don't get that!

[@skyedizenzo5407]

Taking medicine will never 100% transform a woman into a man or vise versa. This is not just chemicals. This is GENES. A man will never completely transform into a woman because according to their genes, the proteins and hormones they produce and the morphology of their body come from the DNA in their body. That's something you can never change. I agree it's a difficult situation because a trans girl is not equal to a woman, but also not a man. Not sure how to go about it.

[@katypeddle2839]

Awe Phil don't cry It's ok. There is good people in the world. And you are one of them.

[@carter6074]

Humans are evil, sure some have more good than evil but there's still a lot of evil

[@carter6074]

[@butteredtoast6510]

Men and women are biologically different and are set with natural dispositions that make one stronger to the other. Trans-women have a natural advantage in the sports field as though they may claim to be a woman, they are still biologically a man. Just as trans-men are disadvantaged to biologic males. Trans people should be placed in their own league to be fair to all parties

[@CenturyBoyLanding]

but someone might bring out fact that they are not their own gender. they either go in the male league or female league. i don't support what i said previously but trangenders make it extremely frustrating to keep order and fairness

Hi The Phil, I have followed the PDS for six years, relished in the birth of the SourceFed group, and shared the excitement and relief when Phil’s dad got a kidney transplant. So I wanted to share with you a free UCLA Kidney Health Fair on March 26th at Santa Monica Park #1 at Ocean Park Blvd. & Barnard Way from 11 am -3 pm. Dr. Anjay Rastogi, MD, Ph.D., the doctor running the fair, currently works on drug trials on PKD and kidney disease patients at UCLA and is passionate about increasing kidney disease and living kidney donor awareness. The PKD and kidney disease patients treated at the UCLA PKD and dialysis center are offered a wealth of resources and insight that is not available to most patients with chronic kidney disease. Dr. Rastogi hopes to help more kidney patients suffering from chronic kidney diseases become better advocates in their treatment by connecting them with doctors, dieticians, and other resources that can help answer questions to better prevent and manage their disease at UCLA Kidney Education Enhancement Program events like the March health fair. The kidney health fair will include a 2k and 3k walk, 50 educational booths covering all aspects of kidney disease, expert teams of nephrologists, surgeons, researchers, and dietitians to answer kidney health questions, a KIDney zone for family entertainment, kidney centered yoga routines, therapy dogs, and living kidney donors and kidney donor recipients who will share their experience with the program. I know Phil is taking a short hiatus from the PDS, but we would deeply appreciate it if you could swing by the kidney health fair or help raise kidney health awareness by sharing our event and donation information on your KZbin Channel, FB, and Twitter. You can find the registration information for our event here. facebook.com/DrAnjayRastogi/facebook.com/DrAnjayRastogi/ uclahealth.org/nephrology/events I love yo faces

[@drdre4397]

Mark Raymond she was taking testosterome. She had a competitive edge.

[@rozorahk]

I literally haven't had time to form an opinion on the overarching topic, but pharmaceutical medication can be a drug. A drug is simply any substance that has a physiological change in the human body. It doesn't matter if it comes from the doctor or the dealer. A great example of this in sports. Is a member of the Olympic Swedish men's hockey team missed the gold medal game because their allergy medication was on the list of banned drugs.

[@Grimm_Butterfly]

The problem is they always try to go into the right place to compete, but get pushed back into their physical sex and called a "cheater" for being made to compete where they didn't want to in the first place.

[@lilyo921]

I've lived in London all my life and I work in the borough of Westminster. While I am disgusted and appalled with what has happened, and with the tragic deaths of at least four innocent people, I was also reminded today of how much I love my city. It had been so long since I was scared about terrorism so close to home that I'd almost forgotten we were a target. Let this make us vigilant but not afraid, and instead of martyring the attacker try to remember the names and faces of Keith Palmer and the other victims. This will not break us, and we cannot let it divide us. Stay safe.

ehhh it's a sensitive topic but biological sex is definitely important to consider in sports, the same as it is in a doctor's office. Bodies of different biological sexes are different, regardless of gender. **changed emotional to sensitive. It's been a great run.

[@hexbug9737]

Kat Badly emotional?

[@zegreatpablo7346]

nozz nozz "emotional" because usually anytime you comment something along the lines of this, someone will cry without looking at facts. Luckily Phil has a pretty good community.

[@TheLateBoyScout]

You're confused because this whole situation is nuts! Here's what you say... You want to be Trans? Okay, be Trans, but you're not joining any competition sports. You want to play competition sports? Great! But if you decide halfway through that you're Trans, you're out. Putting these two things together gives the player either an unfair advantage, or an unfair disadvantage (and potential for serious injury) depending on which sex you end up playing against. There's no way around that fact. Competition sports are sex-segregated for good reasons. Without that segregation it won't just be unfair to competitors, it will be DANGEROUS-as in, people will get seriously hurt... like, all the time! Bone density, body weight distribution, and testosterone levels make a huge difference! There are weight classes in sports for the exact same reasons... to protect players, and to keep the contest fair. If my son or daughter were in sports and they were scheduled to go up against a Trans competitor, I would pull them out-plain and simple. And if I had a Trans son or daughter who said they wanted to play sports, I would tell them NO! Fair competition, and the safety of competitors matters more than anybody's individual feelings... plain and simple.

[@mjergsen9260]

[@josephsheldon8582]

I understand what you were trying to say but no one ever has called our country the "nation of England". Firstly its just England (or the Kingdom of England). However since the Acts of Union of 1707 its better to just say the UK to include the people Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland since we are one nation and an event like this in our nation's capital effects everyone whether you're near the Severn or Ben Nevis.

We had something similar happen here in Sweden a while ago; three men were filmed by security footage sexually assaulting a drunk, passed out woman ON A BUS and no one did anything, people just left the bus when they were supposed to. It's dusgusting that no one stepped up, especially since the woman wasn't even conscious

[@Zorrent12]

Well, it may seem horrible, but chances are a good many of the people on there simply didn't know how they could intervene. If one of them got up and pried on of the guys off of her, well... it'd be three against one. They could call the police, but it'd be kind of hard for them to deal with something occurring on a moving vehicle. They could stand up and say "What the FUCK?!", but the bystander effect makes that the hardest of things to do. The thing is, though, that last one is the simplest and would probably be the most effective- nobody's going to tell someone to sit down and let that happen; they're going to join in and wind up out numbering the rapists, because that's what each and every one of them is likely thinking. The temptation to fall in line with everyone else, not make a scene, and pretend it's not happening can be pretty hard for some people to resist, though.

Definitely an unfair advantage when a man transitions to a woman and then competes at a competitive level!

[@AC-nl4ds]

The brave MP's (who was giving aid to the wounded police officer) brother was killed in the 2002 Bali bombings. Just though this information should be shared as something so sad as losing a love one could have been what gave him the courage to attempt to save another. Love and thoughts to all those affected x

[@ShadowsHeat]

Men and women are biologically different, and men have many advantages physically as a result, simple as that, there is no "conversation" when it comes to this. It will be terribly unfair to have them compete, I don't care if you think it is politically incorrect or not, men are built for it.

[@AA-bc9ty]

ShadowsHeat men are stronger physically, women are more emotional

[@aidancallahan4217]

It's the same in the US Army. The standards for men are set higher than for women, because it's natural that men have more muscle and bone strength than a woman. And I agree, I think it's quite unfair. I also don't think it would be pleasant for a woman wrestler to compete against a transgender man, for obvious reasons.

I remember seeing a video of a female body builder talking about how hard it was to get her body, she said even with drugs and training every day it took her 3 years to get the same body as a male who could achieve the same body in without drugs and half the training in less than a year. This video had to do with gender equality comparing a male to a female body.

[@patriciamka]

Just wanted to say Phil that your videos are honestly the only source I well and truly trust now a days for news. When the mainstream media is saturated by biased, politically motivated and funded stories it's so refreshing to have a honest and decent guy trying his best to be as objective as possible, keep up the great work!

[@davidwells9982]

DISCLAIMER: I don't really like sports. I don't follow any sports. I am, however, fascinated by the social implications of biological issues. I teach science, and questions about this sort of thing comes up with some regularity. The trans- athlete issue is going to make things really difficult when it comes to social equality. In the case of race, there is no real biological difference that would give a person of a given race an advantage over another of a different race, scientifically speaking. Individuals are a different story, of course, but racially segregated sports are a result of ignorance and often hatred. But in terms of biological sex, there are undeniable differences. That's just plain science. So to declare it equality to place cis- and trans-people on the same sports fields together (or arena, or octagon, or whatever) is going to require disregarding science in the name of social acceptance. In a world of physical competition, I think it will present a real problem to fans and competitors alike. I'm fascinated to see how it plays out.

[@louishickson5938]

Kanine I do think people have dealt with the situation in a more upbeat way so far, many of my friends go to a school near to where the shooting occurred named Westminster. All of them are not in a state of terror and aren't fearing for their lives. I think this is a good representation of how people such as myself in London have reacted.

[@louishickson5938]

Doctore there was gun shots fired by the police, that was what u was talking about. Also in no way am I saying that these families shouldn't be in mourning. Personally I am trying to see the lighter side out of this dark situation, I do not see the problem with this. Why do you feel the need to make this patronising comment?

[@Mr_Bedlam215]

'Tis only the good ones who need be remembered and thought about even after they have left the earth. Two, it does not warrant unsheathing your insult claws. I won't tell you to shut up about it, but I'll say you are being immature about it, regardless of intention.

[@PurpleKronix]

I feel like if you transition from male to female, you should be competing in the male area. I fully support trans rights but men are biologically different as pointed out and it just creates an unfair playing field. I don't care if that one player gets offended, or gets mad. If they truly want to compete they would be happy competing under either group.

[@kueller917]

The problem is someone who transitioned from male to female will be a lot closer to female level strength than male level. If unfairness is the problem, which it is, then that's just making it worse.

[@PurpleKronix]

I see where you are coming from, but at the same time it's not exactly fair for them to compete in the female competition either. They may be closer to female strength but they still inherit some of the male strength, especially if they are earlier in there transition. I personally feel like they should not be allowed to compete. But I also see where it's kind of a catch 22, and no matter what we do someone is going to be upset.

[@TheBitanian]

Just have trans Olympics. One for trans men, and another for trans women.

[@kueller917]

I see that too. It's a valid debate since there's arguments for everything. Separating trans only groups could be the best but I could also see it being logistically unrealistic more than anything. I can't imagine there being that many transgender professional athletes for it to be sustainable. Maybe I'm wrong.

[@PurpleKronix]

I also agree, the best solution would be to give them there own category. But how many transgender athletes that compete at a level where the minor difference is enough to make or break a competition. Probably not that many. But at the same time if we truly want to make it fair there needs to be a separate competition. Again, its a catch 22 and the best solution is not sustainable, and the next best is going to piss people off.

[@Paramorefans28]

I am not sure how i feel about people in transition and sports. I feel both sides have an argument and i feel i am not qualified to answer it. Mainly as I am not trans or someone who helps write sports rules. I feel a good middle ground should exist but not sure what that is.

[@Chameleonred5]

I'd say get rid of gender/sex-based qualifications altogether and make it based on weight class and ability. This gets rid of the labels issue altogether. I'd question why trans male-to-females would want to be in a competition that they'd always win anyways. That doesn't sound fun.

[@NeomDrac]

Chameleonred5 because they know they wouldn't win against the male team

[@andreagoh2732]

Beater are there enough athletes for that though?

[@カスカディア国人]

Chameleonred5 I'm stealing the first half of this. In regards to the second, it could just be they are legitimately into the sport, they still had to work hard to win, maybe not as hard but still harder than most of us work for things, it's not like they just show up and boom win, it takes practice in some sports it's more than physical strength, there is a level of mental strength and dexterity/coordination required also in most things, also some women are naturally born with higher levels of testosterone, some compete, they don't always win. I'm sure there were other trans people who lost in these competitions, it's silly to think they went in thinking I will always win.

[@Chameleonred5]

[@BrokeredHeart]

As Mr. Rogers said, when the world seems cold and and unfriendly, look for the helpers. Those who take action to try and help those around them. That's what Tobias Elwood did. He took action to try and protect another life. Those are the people who exemplify the best of humanity, to not turn and run, but to jump into the fray and lend whatever they can in the most devastating moments. The bystanders at the monument in Ottawa who fought to keep the wounded reservist alive after he was shot outside of Parliament, the people who rushed to the World Trade Center, the people who stood for hours outside blood donor clinics after the shooting in Orlando. These are the kind of people we should honor. It's who we should all aspire to be in the moment, to have the courage to be a difference maker.

I know it's easy to criticize people for not calling the police on crimes or potential crimes they see on social media, but if you've ever tried to contact the police about a crime or a threat that's happening to someone you know in another state, especially if you got the info from social media, you'll already know that the cops do NOT take you seriously. At all. Nor do many family members, especially if they don't know you (which is more than likely.) Sending the link to the mom was probably the best course of action anyone could have taken. I'm glad they found the girl.

[@Gevem]

I don't think that really applies here, seeing how it was a live stream, it was happening in real time. So even if the act was staged, it still should of been investigated. Since it was on facebook, I'm sure enough information was there for police to work off of. Those 40 were both perverts and cowards, with the one sending the pics to the mom having only the slightest redemption of quality.

[@DeutschFuerEuch]

This would probably take a while to implement, but why not just have trans categories? Would probably be best to have one for trans men and one for trans women - even if, as you said, the former isn't as much of an issue, testosterone has been used in the past for doping, so... that doesn't seem right. Problem might be that there just aren't THAT many trans people both overall and in competitive sports, but... if there are enough, why not? Could also just make it separate categories within the female "divisions" so it isn't completely separate, but counted with the biological advantage in mind. That said, it's entirely possible I'm overlooking several factors here, I am not savvy on how competitive sports work in any regard.

[@jamesporter1991]

The solution for sports is simple. For every sport there should be 2 divisions. A female division and a general division. In the female division only female athletes born female (excludes FtM) are allowed to participate. In the general division anyone is allowed to participate (male, female, Mtf, FtM). This way women who can compete at the male level may be free to do so anyways.

[@brendanpotter9803]

James Porter feminists wouldn't like it, they hate biology and common sense

[@brendanpotter9803]

James Porter but I think its a good idea

[@halflucan]

The issue with any segregation is this. 1. People believe gender is a social construct and therefore there is no such thing as "unfair" advantage when it comes to MtF trans participating in the Womans division 2. People believe that gender is biological and they are "Transphobes" (2 was half meant to be a joke)

[@michaelvargas5094]

I like the idea

[@russianspy5307]

That sounds like a pretty good idea, some born females might actually be able to compete with men in some sports but for sports like boxing men would always be the best so feminists probably wouldn't want to accept that men are physically stronger than women

I think that people really need to take this trans acceptance in sports slow. Equality is always wanted, but you also need to maintain an equal playing ground. You can't rush into this without properly structuring the rules and requirements and taking the accounts of competitors into consideration.

[@thedamneddamsel8518]

That's what I am thinking. As of right now, the only solution I see is to have an entirely separate league for trans players. It's not the best solution, but until a better one presents itself, what choice is there?

The Damned Damsel that I can agree with.

[@OnyxMoonGjertsen]

I was thinking along the same lines, except making it a league for all participants regardless of gender to compete, not exclusively trans. It might separate into gender specific categories eventually but there is always the chance of a wild card who just blows everyone out of the water.

[@thedamneddamsel8518]

Ah, there's the transphobic people. I was wondering where they were.

[@WEFAHawkStreet]

Sadly, the bystander effect is a big thing, only getting bigger with the size of the group around you. My fiance and I once saw someone wipe out horrifically on a bicycle late at night by a main road in a small town. We at first weren't sure how badly he was injured, so we walked over, instead of rushing over. In the time it took to get to him, multiple cars that had been closer to the incident had driven away, others who hadn't seen the incident just drove by the guy who was semi in the street, and other pedestrians just ignored it. It wasn't until we got to him, helped him out and started calling an ambulance that someone else decided to help out.. I don't blame those people who didn't stop though, because the first thing we thought was that someone else would stop, but my fiance was the one who said 'but what if they don't'. Nothing major happened to him, he was a little bloodied up, but he didn't have to go to the hospital, but it was a major eye opener into the situation of bystander effect. If I had been alone, I may not have gone over to help either...
