We should let them take this to its logical conclusion and watch the fireworks. Torching Title IX is something that the Manosphere and the trannies can agree on.

It's hard to imagine even The Atlantic being this stupid. Collegiate athletics were originally never "separated by sex". In elementary and sometimes jr high schools girls would routinely play with boys in the non-contact sports. The older they got the less common it was because as the boys got tougher and more aggressive, the girls could no longer compete. They couldn't make it on the HS and College teams. Women demanded female sports so girls could compete with other girls at their own level.

Grown-ass women at the peak of their performance can't compete against 13 and 14 year old boys. The number of times I've seen a Pro women's football (soccer) team get thrashed by U-15 boys...not even a contest.

Stop noticing things, you bigot. Facts don't matter, only feelings.

At 15 I was stronger than the average adult male. Playing anything with women felt like playing with literal babies. I'd be a benchwarmer in a collegiate athletics so imagine how these chicks would fair

The people they employ are very limited, and can only flourish through grift.

However, it’s becoming more common for these lines to blur, especially as Gen Zers are more likely than members of previous generations to reject a strict gender binary altogether. Maintaining this binary in youth sports reinforces the idea that boys are inherently bigger, faster, and stronger than girls in a competitive setting—a notion that’s been challenged by scientists for years.

Yes please get rid of all female sports and force them to compete.

Decades of research have shown that sex is far more complex than we may think. And though sex differences in sports show advantages for men, researchers today still don’t know how much of this to attribute to biological difference versus the lack of support provided to women athletes to reach their highest potential. “Science is increasingly showing how sex is dynamic; it has multiple aspects and also shifts; for example, social experiences can actually change levels of sex-related hormones like testosterone in our bodies in a second-to-second and month-to-month way!” Sari van Anders, the research chair in social neuroendocrinology at Queen’s University, in Ontario, told me by email. She said that this complexity means it doesn’t make sense to separate sports by sex in order to protect women athletes from getting hurt. “If safety was a concern, and there was evidence to select certain bodily characteristics to base safety cut-offs on, then you would see, say, shorter men excluded from competing with taller men, or lighter women from competing with heavier women, across sports.”

Holy shit, we regressed so far they actually believe wahman in movies are a real thing.

Yes, that's correct. In sports where serious physical disparity can easily result in injury, these safety cut-offs exist. Weight classes, age cutoffs, and also sex-divided leagues exist for, among other reasons, this exact issue.

Depends. I would pay good money to see a cute collegiate pickup football player tackled so hard it literally knocked her socks off.

I desperately want to see women lining up in front of 250lb defensive ends.

As a former 240lb defensive end/ linemen and rugby player I don’t even know if I could in good conscious hit a 240 pound girl. JK I would gladly blow out their knee on the first play.

Lol. You can really take your pick from that article. Despite male dominance in all sports, no matter how obscure and niche, we still can't figure it out! If they want "support" I'd suggest bionic exoskeletons.

If only women had had "support" throughout history...Genghis Khan could have been a woman.

Let's not interrupt the enemy while they're making their mistakes. Tear down all gender divide. Why do women need all these special rights anyway. Isn't feminism for equality?

More Troon propaganda with all this horseshit about "sex is dynamic."
