NPR Ignores Gender Dimorphism When Commenting on Transgender Sports

NPR Tweet today: "The international governing body for track and field will ban trans women athletes from elite women's competitions, citing a priority for fairness over inclusion despite limited scientific evidence of physical advantage."

I'm "sure" that NPR reporters fact-checked the above claim with the NPR Science Department before publishing its Tweet  . . .

More seriously, what about the images below, which clearly demonstrate dimorphism between the two sexes?

And I also notice that NPR did not interview any of the many female athletes who have been deprived of awards, scholarships and competition slots because male-bodied competitors were allowed to compete.

Nor do they mention that in 1998, the 203rd ranked male tennis player, Karsten Braasch, beat Serena Williams and Venus Williams in back-to-back matches.

If your 12-year old daughter tells you she is a boy (based on the fact that she likes to climb trees and doesn't like make-up), your job is to sign her up for surgery and testosterone? Your job is to always follow her directive, based on things she heard at school and from other teenagers, and then unflinchingly do your part to turn her into a life-long medical patient?
