Transgender man wins women's 100 yd and 400 yd freestyle races.

You can state it as many times as you like - an assertion, without the data to support it, is not evidence, let alone does it meet the standards of credible scientific evidence.

Leaving out the crucial element which forms the basis of your hypothesis in support of your argument that transgender athletes have such a significant and disproportionate advantage as to warrant their exclusion from participation in sports competition, means your conclusions are not based upon scientific evidence, but on your own personal beliefs.

Having me listen to five hours of a podcast where there is likely no mention of transgender athletes, would be a waste of my time. I already said I don’t question the influence of testosterone, it has nothing to do with whether or not there is credible scientific evidence to support the claims in relation to people who are transgender, in order to justify discrimination against them on the basis of gender or sex.

Just to remind you, the measures which are discriminatory cannot be disproportionate, and the measures have to be justifiable, as in without the discrimination, there would be no means to achieve what is being offered as as a legitimate aim - in this case the protection of women’s sports for biological females*. The question was never answered in the Connecticut case as the students in question had graduated and the plaintiffs could not identify other female transgender athletes:

U.S. District Court Judge Robert Chatigny dismissed the lawsuit on procedural grounds, saying in the ruling released Sunday that there was no dispute to resolve because the two transgender athletes have graduated and the plaintiffs could not identify other female transgender athletes.

…

Defense attorney Joshua Block argued the CIAC policy doesn’t deny any girl a meaningful opportunity to participate in sports, but that overturning it would violate the Title IX rights of transgender girls.

“No court, no agency has ever defined a participation opportunity as winning an equal number of trophies,” he argued.

*using that term does make me cringe, but y’know, I’m trying to be reasonable and fair to you, they’re the terms you prefer, so… meh 😒

It does, and you’re right, of course it’s a different issue, but the point is being made in reference to issues that actually impact women’s sports - biological males competing in women’s sports is not one of them.

On a priority list of the many, many issues impacting women’s sports, the idea of biological males competing in women’s sports is so negligible by comparison to other issues that it doesn’t even register.

The points raised by Erica Sullivan will be ignored for the same reasons you’re insisting that they are different issues. Everyone is aware they are different issues, the point being made is that they are never addressed, while so much emphasis is placed upon addressing something which is a complete non-issue for women in sports -

Many of those who oppose transgender athletes like Lia being able to participate in sports claim to be "protecting women's sports." As a woman in sports, I can tell you that I know what the real threats to women's sports are: sexual abuse and harassment, unequal pay and resources and a lack of women in leadership. Transgender girls and women are nowhere on this list. Women's sports are stronger when all women—including trans women—are protected from discrimination, and free to be their true selves.

A number of Republicans are balking at the idea of introducing legislation which they say is intended to address an issue which just doesn’t exist -

Mr. Holcomb said the bill, known as H.E.A. 1041, would likely have been challenged in court. He also questioned whether it was solving any pressing issue, writing in a letterto lawmakers that “the presumption of the policy laid out in H.E.A. 1041 is that there is an existing problem in K-12 sports in Indiana that requires further state government intervention.”

“It implies that the goals of consistency and fairness in competitive female sports are not currently being met,” the governor added in his letter. “After thorough review, I find no evidence to support either claim even if I support the overall goal.”

Lawmakers passed the bill earlier this month in the final hours of their legislative session.

The veto override vote came just days after Republican Gov. Spencer Cox penned a heartfelt letter to legislators in which he said he’d been moved by data showing that including transgender youth in sports could reduce suicide rates within the group.

"I don’t understand what they are going through or why they feel the way they do. But I want them to live. And all the research shows that even a little acceptance and connection can reduce suicidality significantly,” Cox wrote.

He also cited statistics showing that while 75,000 kids played high school sports in Utah, only four were transgender, with just one involved in girls' sports.

“Four kids and only one of them playing girls sports. That’s what all of this is about. Four kids who aren’t dominating or winning trophies or taking scholarships. Four kids who are just trying to find some friends and feel like they are a part of something. Four kids trying to get through each day,” he wrote. “Rarely has so much fear and anger been directed at so few.”

“If a veto override occurs, I hope we can work to find ways to show these four kids that we love them and they have a place in our state,” he added.

Bold emphasis my own, as it really highlights the scale of the issue we’re talking about here.
