Is this post sarcasm? I honestly can't tell anymore.

I can't read the NYT article but the first one literally says they weren't going all out and they were just having some fun practicing some specific technical stuff. What is even happening right now?

Definitely not sarcasm.
There are definite physiological advantages that fully grown post pubertal men have over their equivalent women competitors which doesn't make it a fair competition. The post pubertal males unfairly have an advantage over the women's teams.

Another example is in tennis: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_the_Sexes_(tennis)#1998:_Karsten_Braasch_vs._the_Williams_sisters

Serena Williams is the best female player in the world, she wouldn't be able to beat anyone in the top 200 of the Men's ATP tour simply because of the physiological speed and power advantage that the men have, they can play shots from angles and return with power shots that are not doable on the women's side.

Again, I’m simply stating USWNT was not playing full attack, so to draw any conclusions from this is flawed. Would they have still lost? I don’t know or don’t give a poo poo. They play other women’s teams and whoop on them.

Quit talking from a purely technical biotruths level and use your head. You all sound like a bunch of communication-challenged engineers.

With all due respect, you don't know what you're talking about regarding this.
There are significant physiological advantages fully grown post pubertal adult males have over equivalent post pubertal adult women, this results in Regional Boy's high school teams being able to beat their far more skilled and technical women competitors.

This isn't diminishing any women's team, they are the best in the world, it's the problem that the physiological advantages those post pubertal men have in those sports are simply too much to overcome, in size, in reach, in strength and speed, even with the skill and technical advantage the womens team have.

it's the reason why weight classes are also a thing in combat sports, all things being equal, a good national level heavy weight boxer is going to comfortably beat even a world class lightweight.

Definitely not from me. The context of the argument was whether transgender male-female athletes should be competing against biological XX women.

Am very much in favour of people identifying their gender as whatever they want if it doesn't harm anyone, be it in bathrooms, job applications and p much everything in their life. If people have hurt feelings with having trans people there then that's their problem and it isn't acceptable to discriminate there.

The things in which it's justified to make a clear delineation is the domains in which it causes some actual harm.
It does so in competitive sports- it's not fair to their XX women competitors since transgender M-F athletes are going to have 18+ years of much high testosterone levels and the equivalent increase muscle mass and bone density and skeletal changes.

It absolutely is dangerous in combat sports, it is an absolute mismatch, equivalent to Welterweights facing off lightweights. It's not safe nor ethical.

And there is a required domain of medical treatment, some things we do have to treat via biological sex instead of identifying gender, very much live by respecting people's identified genders, but sometimes we have to treat via their birth biological chromosome. I do live by this in my life, principles and medical practice.

Do feel this is a very reasonable and ethical approach, if you disagree I would be welcome to discuss instead of you flippantly dismissing what i'm saying as biotruths and not giving any basis to your arguments.
