    The youngest Olympian this year is a 12-year-old from China competing as a skateboarder. The youngest ever was an 11-year-old who competed in gymnastics.

    Should we be letting those young girls know whether or not they count as girls through some sort of unspecified genetic test?

    Why do you think women need to be protected by having to prove they’re women? Do you really not get that tons of women would be discouraged from competing if they felt they had to satisfy some white knight’s genetic criteria?

      If there is no gender advantage there is no need.

      Do you want to go further and say for skateboarding and gymnastics there should be no segregation?

      Women do need segregation, for saftey more than anything. There needs to be a clear line otherwise these arguments will continue to occur.

        So there’s no need?

        Do you want to go further and say for skateboarding and gymnastics there should be no segregation?

        So there is a need?

        Women do need segregation, for saftey more than anything.

        Women do not need your protection, nor have they asked for it.
