Biological Sex’s Impact on Sports Performance Surpasses Gender Identity
A new study has challenged the assumption that gender identity is a more important factor than biological sex in determining the performance of athletes in mass-participation races.
No sh!t, Sherlock!
Dr John Armstrong, Reader in Financial Mathematics at King’s, said: “Gender identity is clearly important to many people, but nevertheless sex matters.
Of course sex matters! Bone mass, muscle mass, heart and lung capacity. It all effects who has the advantage when it comes to sports.
“Given the lack of empirical evidence supporting gender-identity theory, one should not assume by default that gender-identity is a more powerful explanatory variable than sex. Being an objectively measurable binary variable, sex has considerable explanatory advantages over gender identity.
Facts over feelings. Science over delusions.
“Our results illustrate that if we want to understand the needs of gender non-conforming individuals, it is vital to control for biological sex as it is likely to play a significant role in any analysis. Both sex and gender identity should therefore both be considered useful explanatory variables in data collection.”
A “biological male” feeling as a female and competing in the female category will still have those “biological male” advantages. FACT!
The study provides a new perspective on the ongoing debate about the role of sex and gender identity in sports performance. It suggests that while gender identity is important, biological sex also plays a significant role in determining athletic performance. This has implications for how we understand and approach sports performance…
It proves genders needs separate categories for sports for FAIR PLAY.
University President Takes Stand Against Transgender Athletes
A university president has released a statement on transgender athletes in sports.
Dr. Wayne D. Lewis Jr., the president of Houghton University, released a statement on Monday in regards to transgender athletes in sports.
“I reached the place where I could no longer remain silent on this issue,” Lewis said. “When I see young women with Houghton written across their uniform… at a competitive disadvantage, sometimes losing opportunities that are hard-earned, there is no way that I, as their president, will continue to sit on the sidelines and refuse to advocate for change.”
And we need more people, and people in positions of authority, to take a stand against the insanity of gender identity ideology.
“…This is not about disrespecting people. This is about standing up for what is right. I thank God that we live in a nation where we have the freedoms to express ourselves as we choose. But those freedoms cannot get to the place where they take away freedoms and opportunities from other people. That is crossing the line and we have indeed crossed the line in letting biological males compete in women’s athletics. My prayer is that we can come together on this issue and get back to what is right for women’s athletics,” he added.
Correct.
Legendary sportscaster Bob Costas has said that it’s a “common sense” issue.
…
“…Sugar Ray Leonard didn’t fight Mike Tyson. There were contemporaries. Sugar Ray was a welterweight, Mike was a heavyweight, alright? If someday the best player in the WNBA can play in the NBA, everybody would applaud. But if the worst guy at the end of the bench on the worst team in the NBA went to the WNBA and averaged 40 points a game, everybody knows that’s [unfair].”
And that is what we are seeing, more and more often.
Take Liam Thomas, a failure in the men’s ranks, but but him in the woman’s event, and miracle! Winning!
Swimming, cycling, weightlifting, etc.
Baseball has its “steroid era”. Now we are in another era of unfair advantages… the trans-era.
Some of these leftist crackpots have become so lost and confused they need a “scientific study” to legitimize that which is patently obvious.
Their deference to authority is frightening.
You are 100% correct. We need studies to confirm what cavemen understood.
But I think this too is intentional. Why? The establishment has removed God’s authority and asserted the priests of it’s religion are scientists. This is because science can and has mostly been bought and paid for. So “reality” is whatever they tell the scientists to say. Now not all scientists are under that control. But the ones that are, are given authority over the others.
I remember the first time I heard this nonsense. Years ago when Jordan Peterson was first on Canadian news with a panel of people telling him that compelling speech based on gender stuff was needed because gender is assigned. There was a red headed guy on the panel, and Peterson said something and they guy quipped back, well it gender is a construct (or something similar) and it’s assigned at birth and I can medically unpack that for you. I so wish Peterson would have asked him to do so. Because it would have exposed then and there how silly their “science” is. I find that if you don’t allow the assumptions to pass and ask someone to explain what they stated, then everyone watching knows who the dingdong is.
Now not all scientists are under that control. But the ones that are, are given authority over the others.
We have seen lots of stories where their papers or journals are refused to be published because not over science facts/studies, but over ideological (goes against the current agenda/narrative).
They are attacked in the media, removed from their positions (quieted or fired), etc.
Or, like they tried to do with Peterson, force him to take a brainwashing course because of his “wrong-think”.
I still personally believe Gender Dysphoria (previously gender identity disorder), is still a mental disorder to those that really are effected by it and a social disorder to those brainwashed into wanted to fit into the “it/victim” crowd.
History will look back and wonder how we survived this era, if our civilization survives that is.
We need more people like JK Rowling on this.

There is no personally about it. Gender Dysphoria IS an illness. It has been considered so up until the last 5mins. But that’s all a lie. If it’s not an illness now, why does it require treatment?
It’s only expanded because (like most leftist nonsense) they changed the definition. To be “trans” used to mean post surgery but now it’s a feeling because gender is “fluid”. So anyone at any moment can decide to be trans. And if you are a lonely unhappy teenage girl (yes this affects most young ladies), now you can have a community and a purpose instantly by saying you are trans. You just have to 100% tow the line.
The saddest thing is the left/establishment is just using those poor folks as soldiers in their war against We The People. They don’t help them with their problems, they celebrate their sickness because it helps the establishment. It’s the opposite of compassion. It’s total indifference.
We need more people like JK Rowling on this.
I agree and then I don’t. It appears inspiring that someone is taking a stand for their beliefs. But that used to be common. And Rowling is still a hard leftist and she I think is a billionaire so she has F U money and needs no one or anything. She can tell people openly she loves to eat live puppies. She would be shunned. But it would make no difference in her life.
The heros we need in that war are people who have to risk their comfort or possibly sacrifice to take a stand. This is why the countermovement is slow. Everyone is waiting for someone to ride in on a white horse and save them. That’s not going to happen. Trump is not that guy either. Because no one is. We all are trying to figure out how to “do something” but without risk. Well, there is no such thing. If we want change, we have to band together and make the change. Otherwise, in under a decade we will comfort ourselves into absolute tyranny.
USA Powerlifting Celebrates Appeals Court Ruling in Transgender Athlete Case
In a significant development for the world of powerlifting, the USA Powerlifting organization has emerged victorious in a legal battle involving a transgender woman’s claim of discrimination. The Minnesota Court of Appeals overturned a previous ruling, siding with the organization’s decision to prohibit the individual from joining the women’s team. This case has ignited a heated debate about fairness and inclusion in sports.
Sports is sex based; Male and Female categories.
The district court initially ruled in favor of (trans-athlete) last year, finding that USA Powerlifting had discriminated against her. However, the organization appealed the decision, arguing that their policy was based on physiological differences between male and female athletes, not gender identity.
Correct!
On Monday, the Minnesota Court of Appeals … stating that USA Powerlifting did not discriminate against (trans-athlete) based on her gender identity. The court determined that the organization’s policy was based on the physiological advantages that male-to-female transgender athletes may possess.
USA Powerlifting’s lead attorney, Ansis V. Viksnins, emphasized that the organization excluded (trans-athletes) from the women’s division due to her physiology, not her gender identity. Viksnins argued that maintaining separate categories based on sex, age, and weight is crucial for ensuring fair competition.
Absolutely CORRECT!
USA Powerlifting’s stance is supported by scientific studies that demonstrate the strength advantages enjoyed by athletes who have gone through male puberty. These studies suggest that suppressing testosterone only minimally reduces this strength advantage, making it necessary to exclude male-to-female transgender powerlifters from the women’s division.
That should apply to ALL sports.
In the court’s lengthy opinion, Judge Matthew Johnson concluded that there were no genuine issues of material fact regarding (trans-athlete’s) claim of aiding and abetting discrimination. The court affirmed the district court’s grant of summary judgment on that claim.
The opinion stated that “USAPL has satisfied its burden to produce evidence of a legitimate, nondiscriminatory reason. (Trans-athlete’s) female gender identity co-exists with her male physiology.” This statement highlights the court’s focus on the physiological differences between male and female athletes.
Female (sex) athletes for female (sex) sports. Male (sex) athletes for male (sex) sports. It is that simple.
The issue has become a contentious topic, with arguments on both sides regarding fairness, inclusion, and the role of biology in athletic performance.
Just last week, 16 current and former female athletes filed a lawsuit against the NCAA, claiming that the organization’s transgender policy violates Title IX. This lawsuit further underscores the complex nature of the debate and the ongoing legal battles surrounding transgender athletes’ participation in sports.
Sports and sports categories are BASED on one sexes. It is that simple. There is not room in sports for 72+ gender-based categories. (or whatever make socially created genders they are up to now).
Finding a balance between inclusion and competitive equity is a complex task that requires ongoing dialogue and research. Sports organizations, athletes, and advocates must work together to develop policies that respect the rights and dignity of all individuals while maintaining the integrity of the sport.
And that is why sex based is the ONLY way it can be done, IMO.
As the debate continues, sports organizations must base their policies on scientific evidence and data. Research into the physiological differences between male and female athletes …
Once again, the only way is via sex-based.
To foster a more inclusive and understanding environment in sports, it is essential to promote education and awareness about transgender issues.
Great, you can be trans, and you CAN compete in the category that matches your SEX. You can compete against those that have the same advantages that you were given, without being given an unfair advantage by competing in a category that does NOT match your SEX.
The debate surrounding transgender athletes’ participation in sports can have a significant impact on the mental health and well-being of transgender individuals.
As it does those who are forced to compete and shower and change with those of the opposite sex. And more so to them!
Sports organizations, policymakers, and advocates must continue to engage in constructive dialogue and work towards finding solutions that balance fairness, inclusion, and the well-being of all athletes. By approaching the issue with empathy, understanding, and a commitment to evidence-based decision-making, progress can be made.
Yet the evidence as proven by science, is that males and females ARE different, and that the male sexes should NOT compete directly against female sexes, especially when their biological differences makes for an unfair advantage (ie most sports).
As the sports world navigates this complex issue, let us strive for unity and understanding. By engaging in open and honest conversations, listening to diverse perspectives, and working towards common goals, we can create a more inclusive and equitable future for all athletes, regardless of their gender identity.
Gender identity has ZERO place in sports. Once we can get over that, it is a rather simple solution.
Sports separated by sexes.
I find it a waste of energy (at this point) to argue logically against things that have no logical basis. I have come to the conclusion this might be the point. Get people arguing and fighting over anything, does not matter how silly it is.
I believe pigs can fly!
That’s nuts pigs don’t have wings.
Well, there is no research on that and only birds flying is just part of the Wingiarchy.
Birds flying has been normalized by society, pigs are just not allowed to fly due to stigma.
But pigs cannot fly!
Well there is a scientific consensus and it’s entirely possible they can. The science is settled.
But they cannot fly, ever
Pigaphobe

But then they change it to, “not on their own, but in an airplane, they fly like a human flies in an airplane”. So to them, a pig DOES fly, but the lie by omittion/fact that a pig can’t fly on its own accord.
They want to repeat the lie so often that people don’t question it an assumes it if a “fact”.
They want and need honest people to give up so by default they win.
I always laugh at these types of headlines ah yes ”new study” Who are they trying to fool themselves or us? We been knew this stuff biological males should not be playing in women’s sports etc. like wow folks are really out here getting dumb. never go full on leftist, it is crazy we even have to have these types of conversations to begin with utterly insane and I am trying to figure out how so many people seemingly fell for it I need a deep detailed breakdown on this how do people who literally already knew a simple fact of there are 2 genders male and female and what a woman is get to this point?
Maybe I don’t understand how because I am not as naive or weak willed as many people and I know reality or maybe something else. I used to be a democrat and pretty damn liberal most my life before I recently changed sides due to everything going on so I had a bit of a wake up, but even at the time I was quite liberal I still always knew this basic fact of male and female wtf happened? And why are people falling for this gender ideology nonsense?
I always laugh at these types of headlines ah yes ”new study”
That is because for years, we have been hearing the “listen to the experts! listen to science!”
And those experts have be revealed to be activists (might I say con-artists) so push it for ideological reasons, not science based reasons.
Now, we are getting people to examine and not being afraid to report scientific FACTS (on the fears the woke MOB will be coming after them, which they most likely will still do). Before, the media would refuse to report these studies or allow such headlines, but they are getting desperate for people to view/read their stuff.
Those pushing their agenda/narrative requires an ill-informed population, one who does not know the truth/facts. For that destroys their delusional views.
We must shed light on their lies, and let the world know the truth will WIN.
This “listen to authority” thing is a double-edged sword for society.
If you run with that theme than anyone who assumes authority has dominion over you.
Secondly, it seems to create this paradigm where if you assign someone authority then the bigger the lie they tell you the less likely you are to believe it is a lie.
It’s as if people think, well that sounds insane so there is no way they would lie about that. So the bigger the lie the more people believe it. Think about that.
“Donald Trump is a bad guy!”
well, ok, maybe
“OMG OMG OMG! Trump eats babies, rapes disabled horses and we have charged him 90 times!”
Oh, that’s crazy! They can’t be lying about that!
The interesting thing is authority is like offense. It does not affect you unless you accept it.
