It's clearly the most money and being biologically male puts you at a very large advantage.
Biden seems to give a shit, because during his first week in office, he signed an executive order that all schools receiving federal funding could not ban transgender athletes from playing in the women's leagues.
Not sure about the pro leagues but they can do what they want, since they are private organizations. I think they know that nobody is going to watch if dudes start getting in there and dominating all the women, so they just avoid the topic and don't allow dudes in there. I'm sure soon enough there's going to be faux-outrage from the left at how such-and-such transgender person can't get into the pro league, and there will be a big controversy about it.
I saw a ridiculous argument yesterday from the left regarding Lia Thomas:
"I just saw that Lia's Thomas times got significantly worse than when she was in the male leagues, due to the hormone treatments. So this proves our assertion that the hormones make it fair. It appears that the conservatives are just upset that her times didn't drop
enough, to where she loses?"
Such bullshit reasoning.
By that logic, it would be fair for me to play basketball against 8-year-olds when I've only had 2 hours of sleep, because I wouldn't be as good as I would normally. If anyone objected, I could simply say, "Hey, I'm tired, and not playing as well as usual! How is that not enough?"
It is funny how the left loves to posture about being the party of intellectuals who are about the science, yet they're literally trying to argue why men should be in women's sports, and why that's not unfair.
Of course this is the party that still is masking 3-year-olds outdoors in some cities, so there you go.
