How many trans athletes do you think there will be and how many do you think will be good at sports?


More and more when a free college education and possible olympic and professional career await. They only have to be good relative to the women they compete against, so there will be a lot that are good.

Does Biden’s EO extent to the Olympics of Pros?

And do you think cis men will live as trans to maybe get a college scholarship?

Yeah. I’m very interested to see what happens in stuff like woman’s basketball. Are we really going to see a lot of Juwanna Mans with HS kids that were decent players but not good enough to get scholarships on men’s teams? Will D1 women’s teams be competing against D3 men’s teams in recruiting battles?

Exactly, look no further than Title 9. Like it or not it propelled females into athletics in a way it never would have otherwise and I can't see how this will not happen here.

I recall going to an LSU women's tennis match in the 80's a match against Auburn. The way these matches went 1-seed vs. 1-seed and so on to the 6-th seed. They were all playing at once so you could see the skill levels. The 1 through 3-seeds were good skilled players but after that the skill level dropped dramatically. The two six seeds were laughable, it looked like my wife out there playing right now. And they were on scholarship due to the Title 9 mandates of equal scholarships for males and females!! Hell, I could have beaten those 6 seeds no question and I was not a good tennis player.

I'm sure that's not as pronounced a problem these days as more girls are playing sports because of those opportunities, but I'm betting there would be ample opportunity for males looking to get a college scholarship to still take advantage of this as a transgender stuff if allowed.
