Even among women, female volleyball players tend to have a certain kind of body. There are fat women, but they aren't playing in their college volleyball team. It's hard to say which would be worse, that this mediocre (at best) male athlete was allowed to play on the team because of his male advantages, or because they wanted a tranny for the diversity points.

Fat volleyball dude highlights one of the more subtle issues here. The problem isn't always going to be Lia Thomas types dominating all competition. If they stick with this, what will happen also is fat out of shape men just barely scraping by.
There's a a lot of complaints about having different physical standards for men and women in jobs like firefighting or the army. I think those are reasonable complaints, but I also kind of understand some of the logic behind different standards. You don't really want to get all your soldiers to a minimum acceptable standard. You want all of them to be close to maximizing their individual capacities. Their life and the lives of their compatriots are on the line, they should be as prepared as it is possible to be. That maximum is lower for women so maybe they shouldn't be in those roles, but if they are it isn't realistic to get them to try and meet a standard they can't reasonably reach. The goals should be tailored towards the soldiers.
Sports isn't a matter of life or death but there is often a lot at stake, and it's generally unpleasant to play competitively with someone on your team who gets by with the minimum when you are trying to give the maximum to get a scholarship or go pro. Think of the sort of disdain most sports fans have for Allen Iverson and his complaints about practice, and that's a legit superstar. Even if nobody gets injured because of a strength imbalance, it makes a mockery of competition to throw some doesn't give a fuck slob in to the mix.

With most sports finally getting a big dose of common sense, here's one that sadly has just taken a bigger glug of troonshine. Not one mention of troonery in the article, but who calls their son "Emma".
British ice dancer and same-sex skating partner to compete in Finland after rule change
Mille Colling and Emma Aalto given go-ahead to compete in qualifier for national championships next month
A British ice dancer and her skating partner are to become Finland’s first same-sex team to take part in a competition after a rule change by the country’s skating federation.
Millie Colling, 20, who was born in Gateshead and moved to Finland at the age of six, and Emma Aalto, 19, will compete in a qualifier for the national championships next month after pressing for an amendment to the rules to allow them to enter as a team.
The pair said they were “best friends that want to skate together”. Their request was supported by their coach, Neil Brown, who helped persuade the skating federation to agree new rules, referring to ice dance partners as Skater A and Skater B instead of man and woman.
Colling, an art student, enrolled at skating school a year after her family moved to Finland, and Aalto, a fashion student, has been skating since she was five years old. They met two years ago.
“We were immediately on the same level, we really clicked,” said Colling. They began to skate together but “at that point we hadn’t seen any other same-gender skating teams”.
But this year, the retired Olympic champions Madison Hubbell and Gabriella Papadakis performed together, hoping to help break gender stereotypes in the sport. Colling said: “It was completely new and we were, whoa, OK.”
The pair train at a rink in Helsinki.
It was a “common misconception” that same-sex teams were gay or in a relationship, she added. “There are lots of queer athletes, and we really admire them. But it’s not the case that in order to be in a non-traditional team you have to be queer.”
Aalto said: “The point is to be opening possibilities for everyone, not just for queer people.” Ice dancing with a same-sex partner was “not necessarily any different”, she said.
Colling added: “One of us leads, one follows, one lifts, one of us is lifted. We have quite similar body mass, so technically there are some differences, but we still do the same content.”
“Every partnership is different,” said Aalto. “Every couple has their own strengths and weaknesses, and their programmes are built around those strengths and weaknesses. Ice dance is a really individual sport – each couple is unique, and we’re just another unique couple.”
If the duo qualify, they would be unable to take part in the national competition in December, as that requires further changes. “The federation has said we can’t do it yet – but fingers crossed for the future,” Colling said.
The pair hope their participation in the qualifier will be a strong signal of change to the ice dance community and the public. They do not expect to win – “we’re just excited to get out there”, Colling said.
They said they felt free and happy while skating. “You stop being a normal version of yourself. You can be whatever you want on the ice,” Aalto said. “It’s the best feeling – it feels like home.”

Which one is the troon? The right one? Looks not too bad.
The deception about their sex is though... How much do sex differences matter in iceskating?

The Minnesota Supreme Court has issued an utterly ridiculous decision allowing men in dresses to compete against female powerlifters.

Missing Middlebury College student Lia Smith has officially been confirmed dead.
Smith, 21, was reported missing by her father on Sunday, Oct. 19, two days after she was last seen on campus. A body was discovered near the college by Vermont State Police on Thursday, Oct. 23, and an autopsy has now confirmed that it is that of Smith, per a press release from the Vermont Police Department (VPD) shared on Friday, Oct. 24.
The Vermont Chief Medical Examiner’s Office determined that Smith died by suicide, per the release.
PEOPLE reached out to both the VPD and the Medical Examiner’s Office for comment on Saturday, Oct. 25, but did not receive an immediate response.
Middlebury College president Ian Baucom announced the news to the campus community in a statement on Facebook on Saturday, sharing that he had spoken to Smith’s family and expressed his “heartbreak” to them.

“As president, and far more as a fellow parent, I ache for them. This is a profound loss that nobody should have to endure,” he continued.
“As we mourn, I want to express my deep appreciation for the efforts of our Student Affairs staff who have been offering such compassionate support to Lia’s family, friends and students across our community. We will continue to support them in every way possible," Baucom said.
He noted that Smith, who was from Woodside, Calif., was a “remarkable person.”
“She was a diver on our Women’s Swimming and Diving team, a member of our Chess and Japanese clubs, and an articulate advocate of transgender rights. Her academic interests were broad, and she was pursuing a double major in computer science and statistics. She was a gift to us, and we are so grateful that she was — and will always remain — a member of our Middlebury family,” he added.
Members of the Vermont State Police and Rescue Team found Smith’s body in Cornwall, Vt., near the college’s organic farm, the Middlebury Police Department said in a statement.
Middlebury students had joined authorities in the search for Smith, per MyNBC5.
"We're a really small community," senior Lucy Schembre told the local news outlet during the search efforts. "Even if you don't know someone personally, you definitely know somebody who knows them, and you've definitely seen them around. It's very jarring for somebody who's supposed to be here, to not be here."

I'm not sure whether to be happy because a tranny taking away accomplishments from actual women is dead, or fearful because people will be swindled by the bullshit sob story that'll be pushed and want to support trans people more, even though it's the obvious wrong choice. Ask any funeral director and they will tell you that widows don't think straight when someone they care about dies, same could apply here.
The only lamentation that a trans person ever actually deserves is "Good Riddance."

Maybe validating unsustainable delusions isn’t the One Simple (mental health) Trick! they’ve been trying to sell.
Vermont Public Radio confirms he was a dude, “an articulate advocate for transgender rights”.
@jray4559
I can hear it now:
“Look what you girls did! Why can’t you just be nice and let the giant obvious dude on the team? Don’t you know you’re driving unstable men to suicide by not letting them watch you change in the locker room?!?”
I wonder if this guy took his name from “Lia” Thomas.

Trannies are blaming Trump and transphobia for his death. Because if you don't make a sports team it's a reason to go kill yourself. That's a completely rational and sane reason in their minds.
They'll never considering treating their underlying mental health issues instead of dealing with their issues through cosplay and self-centered ultimatums.

Never mind that the college, his previous schools, and his friends and his family all lied to him about his "being" female when he was not and never would be.
Add to that list his doctors and therapists, and the VT state legislators who made anti discrimination laws. And of course the Biden admin and their rewriting of Title IX.
That's where the blame for his suicide resides, on everyone who coddled and lied to him and then sent him off to into the real world where his gender LARPing wasn't going to work.
