@Muttmere1 @BillieJeanKing @GovernorLittle @Martina @sharrond62 Two points
1. It’s not ethical.
2. It’s not #sports

See elaboration in tweets below⬇️

@Muttmere1 @BillieJeanKing @GovernorLittle @Martina @sharrond62 1/ I use “ethical” rather than invoking “fairness”, because of the predictable retort “who said life would be fair”. Having males in female sports goes beyond natural unfairness (typical skill variation)- it is a purposeful decision to disadvantage 50% of #Athlete population

@Muttmere1 @BillieJeanKing @GovernorLittle @Martina @sharrond62 2/ It’s not #sports.
In sports we have distinct categories based upon clearly defined boundaries so that the outcome has a specific meaning.
Example: Automobile racing.
👉🏼There would be no meaning to a race if a F1 🏎 would be allowed into #NASCAR race.
Different structures.

@Muttmere1 @BillieJeanKing @GovernorLittle @Martina @sharrond62 The difference between F1 and #NASCAR vehicles does NOT COMPARE with #biological #sex 🧬 differences in both CONSTRUCTION and COMPOSITION.
There are at least 6000 variables whereby #male humans differ from #female humans.
Putting on a wig & lipstick doesn’t change any of it.

@Muttmere1 @BillieJeanKing @GovernorLittle @Martina @sharrond62 Happily #IOC #OlympicGames executives not running auto racing!
Using same logic they in allowing #male athletes into #female #sports, they would rule that to be included in #NASCAR, the #F1 🏎 vehicle merely needs to do only ✌🏼 things:
1. Change decals
2. Use different fuel

@Muttmere1 @BillieJeanKing @GovernorLittle @Martina @sharrond62 To ignore fundamental structural differences in allowing #sex categories to mix in #sports, the #OlympicGames officials have set up the scenario where the outcome of the competition has no meaning.
👉🏼What does it mean if #F1 beats #NASCAR?
👉🏼What does it mean if XY beats XX?

@Muttmere1 @BillieJeanKing @GovernorLittle @Martina @sharrond62 Nobody would care to watch.
The sound of viewing devices clicking to OFF would deafening:
👉🏼TV 📺
👉🏼Computers 💻
👉🏼Cell phones 📱
#IOC will lose $viewership.
#Women #Sports will lose any gains they’ve built over the past 100yrs.

All this for a tiny percentage of entitled XYs
