I support equal rights for women but I’m far from a radical feminist. I think IF a woman can do the same job as a man, she deserves the same pay. When I was in banking a whole bunch of years ago, the men doing the same job as I did simply made more money. I think that was wrong. On the other hand, giving a woman, or a minority, or anyone at all a job or position just because they check a diversity box? I think that’s wrong too.
It’s a fact that body composition differs between men and women. Duh.
If you’re a 6’5 dude and you do a year of hormone treatment and identify as a chick, you can competitively play center on a women’s basketball team. The whole sports thing with Lia Thomas? I don’t like it. According to one teammate, the other 35 swimmers on the team don’t like it either. Especially in the locker room where Lia’s biologically male genitalia is often exposed and she’s made it known she’s attracted to women.
I’m not saying I actively want to try to limit the lives of trans people — but I do think when biological males are included in women’s activities (or women’s/girl’s bathrooms, prisons, etc.) it isn’t in alignment with sex-based rights. It sure feels like women are being ignored.
There are some activities where women can absolutely be competitive when pitted against men.
Take daily steps for example. 😉
Thing is, that little victory isn’t going to make me a ton of money doing commercials. It’s not going to get me sponsorships for anything. We didn’t need a locker room.
So now what?
The US Selective Service still requires all males age 18-25 to register for the draft. US citizens or immigrants who are born male and changed their gender to female are still required to register. Individuals who are born female and changed their gender to male are not required to register.
Uh oh! Now what about that one? Please don’t alert Biden… that’ll be the next big thing on his agenda.
It’s 961 days until the 2024 presidential election. Just sayin’. 😏
