Would you tell that to transgender people?
Sure. But that doesn't mean they, I, or you have to stop trying to make it fair.

So we agree on male/female/transgender divisions in sports then?
No. And none of that is equivalent to injecting steroids.I suppose it's all in how you define "cheating". Is it cheating to have better coaching as a kid? Better training? Better food? More opportunities?
There are laws against physical harm too.I very specifically said physical harm and that financial harm would be covered under civil penalties.
But the real difference between masks, vaccines, and cigarette smoke versus performance enhancing drugs is that you can choose not to compete at the level where those drugs are used or not compete at all. But you can't choose not to live in a world where there is second hand smoke, people not wearing masks, and people not making vaccines.
I don't think that practically works given the very small number of transgender people.

Again, you were the one who shifted the discussion from PEDs in sports to "whatever you put into your body".
Same thing was said when Title IX went into effect in 1972. Look at what we are now.

“The world has no name, he said. The names of the cerros and the sierras and the deserts exist only on maps. We name them that we do not lose our way. Yet it was because the way was lost to us already that we have made those names. The world cannot be lost. We are the ones. And it is because these names and these coordinates are our own naming that they cannot save us. That they cannot find us for the way again.”Boom. We hadn't yet finished the argument between men's sports and women's sports (back when we all could define what a woman is about 3 years ago) and now we've made that issue infinitely tougher because of the few transwomen who are biologically men and want to compete against people who are biologically female. And for any woman that doesn't have the balls to define what a woman is, I am ashamed of you.
“'I was planning on writing about a woman for 50 years. I will never be competent enough to do so, but at some point you have to try.' How arduous he makes it all sound – plumbing the treacherous, alien depths of a ladybrain.“The world has no name, he said. The names of the cerros and the sierras and the deserts exist only on maps.

The last time that I saw him he was trying hard to get“'I was planning on writing about a woman for 50 years. I will never be competent enough to do so, but at some point you have to try.' How arduous he makes it all sound – plumbing the treacherous, alien depths of a ladybrain.
"Women, I am repeatedly told, don’t like – don’t get – Cormac McCarthy. It’s the kind of patronising nonsense that gets levelled at us when we point out the converse: that McCarthy’s fiction doesn’t get – doesn’t like – women. When female characters do appear in his pages, they are cowards, victims and sexpots: sirenic doom-bringers, cheetah-owning dommes, simpering twits and bad mothers. It’s often possible to admire the Pulitzer prize winner despite his paper-thin girls."
And I'd really like for someone to mansplain to me why he is doing that.So, I'm reading prose here. Nice, lol.
It won't be me. I'll stick with being an observer.And I'd really like for someone to mansplain to me why he is doing that.
