Change My Mind : Transgender women should not compete in female sports
Hey, what's going on, Spoke community? My name is Matt, and I'm the host of a podcast show found on all streaming platforms called let's Chat About It. My podcast show is looking for guests to appear on the show. The topic is changed minds. Mind

But something that I have heard proposed before and something that I think really makes sense is instead of dividing sports by gender, just start dividing it by it could be like body ratios or like, I think for each sports, it's kind of different how you would divide them and exactly which body measurements or which qualifications you would use to categorize people. But I think that for sure, you could use body ratios like how big you are
Hey, Matthew. Very interesting idea for a podcaster. Out of curiosity, are you a Steven Crowder fan? That I mean, it just reminded me a lot of something he's used to do back in the day. And if you are, I'm not trying to dig at you or to try to bait you into anything. I'm just curious because that give me some more insight on maybe why you believe what you believe

So they may have already been thinking about this or already have kind of started to create solutions. I don't think there's just any one solution that fits all. So there will be other sporting boards that just by nature will be completely closed off and thus will make it more difficult to move forward. And there does need to be a solution because we can't just sit here in the middle and have humans not feeling welcomed or allowed to play sports because they're allowed to or should be

And so we just talking about and it's already proven at large, not saying across the board at large, men are stronger than women and have a different body mass and muscle mass than women in terms of majority percentages. Okay, with that being said, when you have someone who was born biologically male competing with someone who was born biologically female from that stance, there is a gap. I'm not going to use the word, it isn't fair

And, yeah, pretty much my reason for throwing this well up here and talking about it is because just because, say, a transgender male who was born biologically a male, believes that they are girls, or believe that they are a girl can't compete against girls. Beliefs don't change biology. And it's crazy. And the result has been anything but fair at all

I mean, there's a lot of biological differences between people in general, which I think Reagan mentioned. There are specific gaps, like somebody else said, in biological characteristics of the typical man and the typical woman, if you were to say the law of averages. But unfortunately, or fortunately, we can't measure all of those and take every one of those statistics into account when we're deciding who should and shouldn't be on a sports team

Hey. So thanks for your reply, and I do feel like you would actually be a great guest on my podcast show, so if you are interested just did. Please let me know. And we could schedule something to just schedule a conference call, I guess, so to say whether it be via Zoom or another platform, skype, even. Maybe we could just talk and discuss, like I said, civil debate. No cursing, screaming, yelling, just a civil debate

Yeah, sure thing. I'm happy to. I just saw a minute ago, though excuse me that you asked for us to DMU on the Instagram page, which I haven't done, so I apologize for that. Send me any information that I need to know. My schedule is relatively flexible, but if you want to connect via Instagram instead, I'm happy to look you up and find you, and we can have a little chat there and work out some details

You had centers that were down low and being physical, you had guards that would drive to the lane. Pretty much everybody was more physical then. And then somewhere around 20 08 20 09 Steph Curry came into the league and everything started changing. More of the European style of basketball was being incorporated and started influencing the NBA. So here's where that integration comes in
Hey, that's cool, man, but I've seen other YouTubers do this. They go around, ask people political questions, change my mind. It doesn't work that way. I can't change your mind if you're already going into it expecting me to try to change your mind. If you're going into it expecting others to try and change your mind, it's just going to fail. It's a failure. I don't see how successful that is
