World Surf League Releases Policy for Transgender Athletes

Since transgender athlete Sasha Lowerson won the longboarding state titles in Western Australia, surfing entities have scrambled to create policy.

how much of a problem do we really think this is going to be? That's probably less than most of the biological females already on tour.

"assigned male at birth"

seriously, go fuck yourself

I suppose one would have to know what the policy was before commenting.

Ummm…that’s not how the erBB works

Notice she only has a right arm?

Although now that I think about it, having only a right arm means that whenever she paddles, she veers to the left?

Maybe that makes her a centrist?

No, a centrist has no arms; it neither moves forward nor backwards. AKA: buoys, adult learners, 'likes to watch'.
But she does use an assistive device on her board to help her popup, which smells of socialism. But when she is elected all memories of such a helping hand will be forgotten.

Transgender women on hormone therapy have physical characteristics closer to women than men, or perhaps somewhere between. That being the case, they are at a disadvantage when competing with men, in terms of strength or whatever.

Hormone therapy won't reverse the advances in skeletal bone and muscle structure that come with going through puberty as a male. By the time a male is in his early 20s those physical frame changes are irreversible and provide a huge advantage over biological females, even with greatly reduced testosterone.

Where did I claim otherwise? I merely pointed out that transwomen on hormone therapy are at a disadvantage when competing with men. That's something commonly overlooked.

Maybe it's something that they should have to deal with themselves, not unlike how Bethany has to deal with the loss of an arm and no accommodations provided for her disadvantage.

Incidentally, I wonder if artificially man-uped transmen would be allowed to compete with male surf pros, particularly if they were shredhas. If not, that would be more proof that it is a man's world.

You can dispense with the "empathetic" nonsense

Men are men

No, you’ll always be a bitch no matter how hard you try to compensate.

If they're paid federal holidays, I'm all for it.

Organized sports is a retard magnet.

Don't practicpate in organized sports.

Problem solved.

I think some people just like getting all worked up over trivial sh!t.

Once you're an adult, yeah I agree...younger it's a great way to socialize and hit goals

Man, I must have been about 12 and I was playing organized sports and I was like "These adults running this sh!t are fucking idiots."

And then I was done.

Before that time, I had thought that adults were not stupid idiots like kids were.

Then I was like oh. They are just grown up stupid idiots.

But it was organized sports when I got this little insight about human nature.

Not to mention the testosterone limits for the freak show are twice that of the high side of normal for a real woman. Is it cool if a guy is competing with a testosterone level of 1800?

But this was true before they transitioned when they were just run of the milll feminine men.

I was referring to the kids socializing together...it's harder in more rural communities. And yeah, some of the parents still live vicariously through their kids and it's fcked. Pro surfing is just idiotic all around
