Exactly what I was thinking. Logically speaking, there is no reason to say trans women are women (regarding sports or any other subject), so long as we keep drawing the line beteeen men and women.

The Skyfoogle

if you take the argument a step further, you could make a pretty good case for having no separate classifications of athletic groups at all

If transgender people can play in the same league as the gender they transition to. We should allow steroids in sports. Anyone else feel that way?

Jaseeka Rawr

Could they do it quietly?

Joshua Anderson

Trans women are not real women. They shouldn’t be aloud to play in womens sports at any level.

boratgamer

No but their body shapes went through puberty as male which is why they have that unfair advantage. There's a reason they are winning so much...

Holy shit. Tj actually pushed me further left on an opinion.

Silent Shade

Well that did it. The YT bullshit finally compelled to resurrect this account. Take my money you degenerates.

MrMothman7

You love money so you inadvertently love us

Tucker Hoggan

ive always liked you tj its okay

Tyler Fun

Make an audio book and I’ll buy the D-bag bible

Jaron Talotta

Seeing 2011 TJ again made me actually realize that, I think maybe, I prefer current more mellow TJ. That bald screaming person is kinda annoying. Depends on what mood I'm in probs.

Jack of Tears

Realistically, TJ, the reason people say 'old you' was better, is because you're older now and don't have that same exciting passion.

shelbees

This is one of your best videos in a long time, TJ! Well done ya filthy animal

Breonna Rice

Also I like the TJ of today better. TJ of yesterday was way too amped up in my view. I mean I don't mind energy, but just don't have hysteria the baseline. No one has that normally and so it feels like a tacky infommercial actor vibe when all these video creators that are popular do it. Then again they're popular and people (apparently) like old you better (that's fine they're free to be wrong lol). I guess what I'm trying to say is, is you're an aged wine not an aged.. baked chicken? idk. Chicken doesn't age well so yeah you are not an aged chicken.

Breonna Rice

What if (if it's even practical) sports are structured based on body traits rather than orientation or sex? Like I understand sex plays a roll in body development so you may see a pattern of more men in so-and-so bracket vs women etc, but then it seems more catered to everyone. Like maybe how they do weight classes in wrestling is how they assign contestants? I could be missing something though cause I don't watch sports. At all. This is a confusing issue. All proposals of what's fair in this instance seem unfair in one way or another. One step forward one step back.

and to those of you that think there is an unfair advantage with trans women. They take a lot of hormones that change their body. They arnt testosterone driven super athletes

ThornedKelp

I advocate for gender less leagues. Have different tier brackets for different skill levels. Let people fall into it where their skills belong irrespective of gender or whatever.

But that literally in no way counters TJs point. A 7 foot 5 man has an a genetic advantage at basketball giving them an unfair advantage

PESSIMIST PRODUCTIONS

But he’s an internet badass!!

AkiK

About the time you start kissing our patron asses!

The trans women have a genetic advantange. Its the same as a man being on HGH or steroids. It gives in unfair advantage to the participant, spoiling the chance for true competition to exist.

John Becker

Who watches women’s sports anyways ? Nothing worse than the WNBA, in DC they give away tickets to their games. But in all fairness they give away wizards tickets too.

Amelia

I think if you allow trans women to compete in women's sports, then you need to let cis women in women's sports take steroids. Both basically produce the same advantage.

Carlos

In that case. If dolphins are trained to play bolley ball in the pool should they be allowed to compete against humans? I know your are not making the point that we shouldn't have divisions at all. But if you go with any extreme you are going to find problems.

PESSIMIST PRODUCTIONS

We do them in one big shipment which will be done next week. If you want a refund we’d be happy to facilitate that today. Let us know.

If you follow TJs logic, then TJ should advocate for only having 1 league of sports, and get rid of "mens" and "womens" divisions of sports. The problem will be that no women will be able to win or be competitive, and people will say that women should be able to play too.
