That\u2019s why we have women\u2019s sports and not just \u201csports.\u201d If we just had \u201csports,\u201d there would be few women playing them at any level and almost none at the highest levels. If you find this confusing for some reason, go watch some games at your local high school and try to genuinely evaluate the speed, power, and athleticism of boy\u2019s and girl\u2019s teams. If you\u2019re not blind, the difference will become quickly and obviously apparent.<\/p>\n<p>This is why, for example, a few years back, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbssports.com\/soccer\/news\/a-dallas-fc-under-15-boys-squad-beat-the-u-s-womens-national-team-in-a-scrimmage\/\" rel=\"\">an under-15 boys squad from Dallas<\/a> beat the women\u2019s national team in soccer. It\u2019s also why British rapper Zuby was able to do this:<\/p>\n<p>Admittedly, Zuby is a very strong guy. Percentage-wise, there are few men that can deadlift 525 pounds. However, it\u2019s worth noting that there are NO women in Britain who can deadlift 525 pounds and the men\u2019s deadlifting record is 1105 pounds. In other words, there are levels to the game and physically, men simply have a lot more levels to work with than women. Incidentally, this isn\u2019t a one-time thing.<\/p>\n<p>For example, look at these numbers from the winners of the 2018 CrossFit Games. Both the men and women did the same work-outs, so we are able to directly compare the <a href=\"https:\/\/heatonminded.com\/results-show-how-physically-strong-elite-female-athletes-are-compared-to-males\/\" rel=\"\">best-of-the-best of each gender in the event<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>The results of the overall winner of the CrossFit total on the men\u2019s side for Royce Dunne are below:<\/p>\n<p>BACK SQUAT \u2013 470 lbs.<\/p>\n<p>STRICT PRESS \u2013 220 lbs.<\/p>\n<p>DEADLIFT \u2013 565 lbs.<\/p>\n<p>OVERALL TOTAL \u2013 1255 lbs.<\/p>\n<p>The results of the overall winner of the CrossFit total on the women\u2019s side for Tia-Clair Toomey are below:<\/p>\n<p>BACK SQUAT \u2013 330 lbs.<\/p>\n<p>STRICT PRESS \u2013 130 lbs.<\/p>\n<p>DEADLIFT \u2013 415 lbs.<\/p>\n<p>OVERALL TOTAL \u2013 875 lbs.<\/p>\n<p>Toomey\u2019s BACK SQUAT of 330 lbs. was exactly 70% of Dunne\u2019s 470.<\/p>\n<p>Toomey\u2019s STRICT PRESS of 130 lbs. was exactly 59% of Dunne\u2019s 220.<\/p>\n<p>Toomey\u2019s DEADLIFT of 415 lbs. was exactly 73% of Dunne\u2019s 565.<\/p>\n<p>Toomey\u2019s OVERALL TOTAL of 875 lbs. was exactly 70% of Dunne\u2019s 1255.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>This is not a shock. Male athletes tend to carry more muscle and less fat than female athletes. So, even if they\u2019re the same weight, there\u2019s often a big difference in how it\u2019s distributed. Men tend to have longer and larger bones and stronger ligaments. They also have a higher VO2max. There are some very limited areas, like balance and ultra-endurance, where women are more comparable to male athletes, but unless you are talking about gymnastics or 100-mile runs, those advantages aren\u2019t going to be very helpful.<\/p>\n<p>Given all of this, how could it possibly make sense to allow biological men to compete against women? Of course, it doesn\u2019t. However, the laughable claim that has been made is that all these advantages go away if biological males have their level of testosterone suppressed down to the highest levels of female athletes for at least 6 months.<\/p>\n<p>In other words, the idea here is that if you took someone like Lebron James or Bob Sapp and suppressed their testosterone for 6 months, they\u2019d have no physical advantages over female players in their sports:<\/p>\n<p>Who could possibly believe that? Granted, testosterone is an important hormone for men, but it\u2019s nowhere close to the end-all and be-all when it comes to athletic performance. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.popsci.com\/story\/science\/testosterone-effect-athletic-performance\/\" rel=\"\">Just consider this<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>One study of professional male triathletes found no relationship between testosterone levels and performance. Another, looking at professional cyclists, found the same lack of correlation. Yet another, comparing cyclists, weightlifters, and controls to each other on a cycling test, found a negative correlation between testosterone levels and performance. A study of teenage weightlifters found no relationship between boys\u2019 testosterone levels and their performance, and a negative correlation among the girls\u2014meaning they performed better when their testosterone was lower.<\/p>\n<p>&#8230; One analysis found that 25 percent of elite male athletes have testosterone levels below what the International Association of Athletics Federations consider the lower limit for men. What\u2019s more, it wasn\u2019t the athletes in less strength- or speed-oriented sports. Some of the events with the most men below the limit were powerlifting, rowing, track and field, ice hockey, and rowing. Basketball players and alpine skiers had some of the highest levels. That all seems to imply, at least to some researchers, that high testosterone isn\u2019t a universal performance booster.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>If you were trying to build the perfect stud athlete and you had to choose between high or low testosterone, you would definitely choose \u201chigh,\u201d but it clearly isn\u2019t going to be the decisive factor in his success. So, forcing a biological man to lower his testosterone levels to compete with women is a non-sequitur. It simply isn\u2019t the end-all and be-all of athletic performance.<\/p>\n<p>Just consider the reverse. Does anyone believe that giving a WNBA player or female UFC fighter massive doses of testosterone would allow them to effectively compete with men? Of course, not. That\u2019s idiotic, but we treat the reverse, which is equally as silly as if it\u2019s a real thing.<\/p>\n<p>Now, we could have a big debate about what causes people to be trans, whether our society should be encouraging it and whether it\u2019s ethical for doctors and psychologists to go along with it, but if we\u2019re talking about whether biological men should be able to compete against women in sports, there really shouldn\u2019t be any debate at all. The answer is obviously, indisputably \u201cno.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Take \u201cfamous\u201d trans athletes like Laurel Hubbard or Lia Thomas:<\/p>\n<p>What in the world is wrong with saying, \u201cIf you want to change your name and say that you\u2019re female now? Fine. Do you love weightlifting and swimming? Terrific. Keep doing it. However, you can\u2019t compete against biological women because it\u2019s just not fair.\u201d The seems like simple, common sense.<\/p>\n<p>Are we unwilling to do that because it would shatter the woke illusion that your gender is and always has been whatever you decide that it is today? Everyone knows that\u2019s a lie and just because a bunch of angry weirdos with personal pronouns are going to stomp their feet and gnash their teeth if we admit the truth isn\u2019t a reason to go along with it.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s fundamentally unfair to women to have them lose scholarships, team spots, and even medals in women\u2019s sports because they have to compete against biological men. This is so obviously and egregiously wrong, that we should draw a line in the sand over it. Let liberals fight to screw over women if they can even figure out what they are, but the rest of us should stand tall for female athletes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"button-wrapper\" data-attrs=\"{\" url><a class=\"button primary\" href=\"https:\/\/www.culturcidal.com\/p\/of-course-biological-men-shouldnt?utm_source=substack&#038;utm_medium=email&#038;utm_content=share&#038;action=share\" rel=\"\"><span>Share<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"button-wrapper\" data-attrs=\"{\" url><a class=\"button primary\" href=\"https:\/\/www.culturcidal.com\/p\/of-course-biological-men-shouldnt\/comments\" rel=\"\"><span>Leave a comment<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"button-wrapper\" data-attrs=\"{\" url><a class=\"button primary\" href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3NjEAtZ\" rel=\"\"><span>101 Things All Young Adults Should Know<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a sense, this is kind of like explaining why squirrels run from dogs or why tall people make better basketball players, but our society has gotten so disconnected from<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":498,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1477637","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1477637","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/498"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1477637"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1477637\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1477637"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1477637"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1477637"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
