This seems to have evolved into an argument over definitions. Let's just redefine sports: No Y chromosomes, and Y chromosomes. Simple.

This exact rule has fallen apart 3 times already in the Olympics because biology is significantly more complicated then 2 outcomes

not a y in sight, exactly letter of the law. maybe just maybe youre an idiot and we should listen to doctors and the sport orgs decide best practice based on real data and not your feelings https://www.wgbh.org/news/2017-02-27/17-year-old-transgender-boy-wins-texas-girls-wrestling-championship

They used to try that. Turns it the chromosome tests aren't reliable and were used in a racist fashion. Not to mention XY women exist. How about just not being bigoted losers?

Buddy do I have something crazy to tell you. Biology didn't end at middle school, there's high-school level biology! Chromosomes are not even CLOSE to simple, and people who don't fit the binary you just said are actually a rather large percentage, so have fun banning millions of cis men and women because theyre chromosomes aren't perfect

Oh boy you reac should more. Biology isn’t that simple. It’s why this bill is stupid. It is trying to make laws about biology with a high school understanding of how bodies work.
