Just found out there's an Intersex athlete

She's not the only one btw. Just the most prominent, because of the controversy she caused. I've read quite a bit about her lately. The whole discussion about how to seperate the mens and womens categories in sports is really complex and I must admit I do not have a perfect solution...

They're just dumb, I wouldn't be surprised if it was age separated too

Well, it is... At least there are seperate competitions for kids. Not at the Olympics, but in general.

I know, I meant closer ages, Like, Let's say, 20 y/o people are allowed but 21 aren't, That's how stupid they are

Well, there just isn't a lot of difference at those ages anymore. There IS a difference between men and women on average. What I'm more worried about it a seperation based on race, since so many sports are dominated by people of color. So, a seperate category where you can only be a certain amount of "black" would make a difference. But so far we seem to remember enough history to not do that.

People in charge of those are just straight up idiots.

I know a japanese lady who can whoop my ass, And our stereotypes says I should win, By gender and race, But guess what!

That's why I said "on average". I'm not 100% sure but I'm gonna say you're not a world class athlete. 😋 I am neither and there are definitely women who are stronger and better at every sport there is. But that's not the comparison here. You could also find at least as many men who are stronger and better at every sport. I wish there wasn't a difference at the top end of sports and every world class league was just mixed. But if we only had that one competition at the top, there would mostly be men competing in them. Maybe in sports that have classes by weight it could work, but other than that I'm not sure it'll work.

Fun fact about humans: They have no limit to how much they can grow. (Regardless of gender)
That means, If there's a guy who's the strongest human in the world, That doesn't mean a woman can't train herself to become even stronger than him!

And for the record! I do Saitama's workout!

That's true... but on average it takes women longer to get to the same level. Like I said, if there were different weight or height classes or something, that would probably be fairer overall... But I don't have all the information on that either. 🤷

Meh, Same goes for lazy men
I think imma stop the conversation here, I'm getting kinda bored, It's not like they're listening

I swear- if they did that, and I competed, they would have to do a LOT of digging to find my exact black-to-white ratio

Oh, the "science" on that already exists... "Rassenkunde" was an actual school subject in nazi Germany and they figured out your race by taking measurements from your head and all that. I'm sure with recent DNA analysis this would only get more extreme. I just hope that we'll never get to that place again, politically.

Head measurements!? I’m going to die laughing

Yeah, I'm always torn between laughing and crying when I think about it... 🙈

So... You're not black anymore if you have a head injury?

Well, it was more about the proportions. And mostly to figure out the difference between the "arian race" and the "jewish race". I don't think I have to mention this was a "very precise science".

Ah yes, While they could be learning to cure diseases or inventing something useful WHY NOT WASTE IT ALL ON THIS!

Cool

Testosterone levels alone just aren't enough to determine how well someone does at sports. But there needs to be some sort of concrete rule and finding that is extremely difficult, because biology isn't as black-and-white as it would have to be to make this simple.

*Snort* And the western media won't talk about this. Wow.
