I mean, at least in swimming something to be said about anatomical male vs anatomical female pelvices. Males pelvices are taller and have a more limited range of motion, whereas females are the opposite in both.
Effectively, this means males overall are more capable at just a normal kick in a swim stroke, because their pelvices are fairly locked in their motion and less muscles are required to stabilize the movement. On the otherhand, females can be more capable in things like frog kicks.
While biological tests are fine, someone's sex does determine their bone structure, which can, like in swimming, affect performance. I'm sure there are other examples, but I swam so that's my only experience.
They were uncomfortable sharing a locker room, I see where you are coming from, but I can also see their point as well.
Where do their comforts and rights stand compared to Lia’s?
I'm sure a lot of white women felt uncomfortable sharing a locker room with black women when segregation ended. Comfort isn't a good enough reason to have "whites only" locker rooms so why the hell would it justify "cis only" ones? It's not Lia's responsibility if Riley can only handle being around certain types of women.
Quick question: why you staring at my body in the locker room? You trying to fuck me?
When I'm in a locker room, spa, gym, any place where I can be naked around people... I'm minding my business. So really this says more about your perversions than anything else.
I’m a guy, and I don’t want to see random dicks flopping around.
I can understand their reservations, and to pretend that you can’t see an issue with this is to cast shade on every other fucking part of where we should be standing together, in my opinion.
But opinions are like assholes. Everyone’s got one, and they usually stink.
If you don't see random dicks flopping around you ahrv not been in a locker room of basically any gym then, wtf. Let people change geez.
We’re getting away from the point here that how I feel about any of this doesn’t matter
I’m not the one on the lawsuit and I’m not the one in the changing room.
Honestly, if it was me, I would go change in the bathroom portion of it not shower as long as I was there.
I’m just that way, I don’t wanna see you naked, I don’t want you to see me naked.
I don’t think other people should be forced to follow my way, that’s why I adapt myself to the situation.
I would be fucking ecstatic if you offered me a locker room away from everyone else.
But that’s just me and I get the most people aren’t that way
This is basically the take of any guy over 50 at the gym. I mean I adore their confidence, but eyes can't censor... cover your junk.
Careful there, you're scaring them with that take
Because if they have gone through puberty as a man the physical advantages of height, muscle mass, muscle density etc. conferred upon them because of testosterone and other male hormones do not fully diminish even years after those hormones are fully suppressed.
It's tricky because anabolic steroids are banned as performance enhancing drugs, but natural testosterone from being born male also has an anabolic effect, so you can argue it's the equivalent of being given steroids during puberty and then waiting years for the current hormone levels to return to normal as an adult.
this is also like arguing anything outside of "insert level" of hormones here is not acceptable, and therefore shouldn't be allowed.
Shit's complicated and hard to deal with.
