And Pablo top rated team Colorado State, which played SJSU twice in the regular season, won the tournament and got the NCAA Tournament bid. Huh? They play on Saturday (11/30) Colorado St. volleyball to play San Jose St. in Mountain West final Colorado State coach Emily Kohan said her team will take the court rather than become the latest one to forfeit against San Jose State after the top-seeded Rams advanced to the Mountain West Conference women's volleyball tournament final Friday. An automatic bid to the 64-team NCAA tournament is on the line in Saturday's final. www.espn.com/college-sports/story/_/id/42686331/colorado-st-volleyball-play-san-jose-st-mountain-west-final |

My degree’s not in biology, but I can recommend to you Anne Fausto-Sterling’s “Sexing the Body: Gender Politics and the Construction of Sexuality”, originally published in 2000 but republished in 2020. The first few chapters are available to read on Google: books.google.com/books?id=rrC0DwAAQBAJ&newbks=0&hl=en&source=newbks_fbI’d also recommend you do some research on conditions like Swyer Syndrome, de la Chapelle Syndrome, and other sex chromosome anomalies so that you can get a better sense of how complex human biology is. Look, I appreciate the effort you took out of your day to research this on my behalf. I even clicked on the link, but when the sub-heading of the literature you recommended is this: Sexing the Body: Gender Politics and the Construction of Sexuality, its hard not to think that this isn't biased in some way. I don't think I'm being closed minded, nor are others on this board that hold similar opinions as mine, but I've made my stance quite clear. The grey areas in which a lot of this subject is being seen, by each side, is seen as black and white by each on this issue. It's not even a spin, its a belief. Hell, I'm not even the quintessential type category of person that you may have in your mind about me. The word fairness is being seen differently by you and me, is all, and its being defined by our belief system. I think that we keep this off this thread and move it somewhere more approrpiate for this discussion. Glad you appreciate the research, and I can understand how the specific phrase “gender politics” can be a turn off due to potential bias. I’d also recommend “As Nature Made Him” if you’d like to read something more biographical and outside of the sphere of academia. I have no preconceived notions about who you are or why you feel the way you do, and I’ve never specified my own stance on these matters as well. I’m just responding to requests to be educated. The inclusion of trans women in sports has gray areas, and it’s not an issue that can be solved on a message board (as if anything ever has). What’s “fair” is going to look different to every person, and we should be open minded on hearing the opinions of others. What we shouldn’t do is demonize or dehumanize Blaire, along with any other trans athletes, through this situation. |
