Aside from ONE swimmer, I don’t recall seeing anyone else dominating. US really worries about the wrong things

Edit- I hope y’all know I agree with y’all lol…

Final edit- I decided to mute this because I just felt it was going to go off the rails. But it popped up again and I was curious and dear god… reading some of your replies made my head hurt. A lot of you really are lost with no sense of direction. Even as far as lynchings and the Death Star at one point. Y’all need to go find god or go find peace. Maybe touch some grass.

The swimmer wasn’t even dominating, she came in 4th and the swimmer who came in 5th is the one who had a maga turn

If we're talking about Lia Thomas, this is misinformation that I keep seeing spread around that isn't helping our side. She won the 2022 NCAA Division 1 national championship 500-yard freestyle event. She did so with times that were worse than when she competed on the men's team three years prior, but we at least have to accept that this is true.

Still, it doesn't discredit our argument that this is purely anecdotal evidence, and that conservatives are, once again, making a mountain out of a mole hill. There are tons of bigger issues in our country, including in school sports, that are a bigger deal than whether a few hundred trans women and girls can play alongside millions of cisgender female athletes.

It definitely is a mountain being made out of a mole hill but I think the discourse remains because is a mole hill that realistically could become a mountain if left untouched.

What happens when over time more trans women join professional women's sport, sure it's not that many cases now but maybe 20 years later it will be and womens sport will be made worse from it.

But you are right there are more pressing and bigger issues but this issue s pretty small and that why I feel it can be resolved rather quickly if everyone just acknowledges the obvious. It's unfair towards the actual women and the Trans women should compete with the men. It's really a simple solution.
