Disappointing night

[kellyanne]

The whole topic of how people regard crossdressers or transgender is way to broad for me to scratch the surface. Like J.D. Salinger once said, I don't have the answers, I only have questions.

I would put forth this question on transgender in athletics. What if all athletics merged the genders -- football, field hockey, basketball, volleyball, track and field, baseball, softball, soccer, etc. There would be no question of trans gender participation, as both genders participate together. How would that work out?

Men would win everything.

For example, the Top LPGA golfer in driving distance is # 155ish on the PGA, 30 + yards lower , hundreds down on the tennis tour.

It is instructive that the Great Battle of the Sexes in 73 was between a 29 year old top ranked female and a 55 year old retired pack a day male.

It is not a knock on women just a truth of the human condition as other posters have noted, larger skeletal frame, a larger lung capacity , more muscle mass , higher upper and lower body strength etc. all these add up.

In golf, if men were allowed to play in the LPGA - ladies would probably never win again. A 150 yard chart is usually tougher than a 40 yard chip.

On average female athletic records are 90 % of men's. To my knowledge, there is no athletic record where women outperform men.

Our Adult Women's World Champion Hockey team plays 15 year old boys for tournament prep but there is no hitting allowed, despite this , the boys often win and would win every game if normal hockey rules were in effect.

But were the same boys to take on the Tampa Bay Lightning in normal rules, they might not get a shot on net in 60 minutes.

Studies of public park activity show males are apt to play competitive sports at a much higher rate than women.
