Maybe in a couple years we have two mens teams here at UK. Trans will likely out compete most of the women and take most of the scholarships.
It’s a guy so.....

NCAA supporting transgender athletes

this is gross to me but I don't see it being much of an issue, honestly
A grown man playing against women ? No issues at all ?
To me this would be a bigger injustice to “real” young college women than anything Title IX tried to fix.
I 100% have an issue with it which is why I said I think it's gross.
I don't see it being much of an issue because I just don't see it happening, very rarely at least.
Few guys on the mens’ team probably wouldn’t have even started for the women’s’ team last year.
The world is turned upside down. Born as a man you’re a man. Born as a woman you’re a woman. Men have no business competing in women’s sports.
Never thought the Juwanna man movie could really come true 
So is this a situation where we trust science or no?
Why can’t they call themselves women but still compete with the men? Bruce Jenner did it.
What a terrible decision, but I’m going to enjoy it. It’s going to be entertaining watching women’s sports in the future. The announcers and the teams are going to have to pretend that it’s a fair competition when everyone knows it’s not. The female empowerment crowd will have to admit that men are better at being a woman than women are (when it comes to sports). Most of them probably support this anyway, so I don’t see an issue here.
This is par for the course with the NCAA. Mark Emmert looks like a man but acts like a b***h so why not let allow everyone to act like him.
He's not acting. He IS.
I don't care how people choose to express themselves, but this notion of gender, from a legal legitimacy perspective, is ridiculous. The question of one having a P or a V is relevant in certain situations, such as sports, healthcare, in some cases insurance, etc. Generally it's not relevant what kind of parts one has, and it's especially irrelevant what people "identify" as. I shouldn't be able to alter my legal credence based on my mood and how I choose to "identify" from one morning to the next. Nor should society be expected to follow my made up pronouns.
Just my two cents. This would be a disaster for female athletics.

Have to check with Cal. He has reached out to everyone in the "trans" portal. I'll get back with you in a little bit.
Most of them support all that trans pans unidentified stuff anyway lol will be hilarious when reporters ask them do they support the movement and they say yes otherwise be called transphobic or whatever
they will be voting against their own benefits lolI am a great believer there is no excuse to discriminate in any situation. But, it sure gets complex with sports and not just basketball. I agree the overall issue will be limited anyway but in those rare cases it could be unfair.
Something tells me “Patriot202” started this thread just to cause drama...just a hunch.
I’ve long said that the only way to watch women’s basketball is to let men play.
A lot once they start getting scholarships to play as a girl.
To me the best thing that could happen is that UK goes out and gets 13 top 100 boys high school players, say they are trans, then dominate the women's sport for the next few championships. 
I'm always curious if this is sarcasm or people truly believe this.
Nah. I mean you've got full blown retards doing gender reassignment surgeries on their toddlers. The ultimate female man beast will be dunking all over UCONN in about 15 years.
It’s just plain stupidity. I’m convinced 90% of the US population is just dumb. No specific basis like politics or anything else.....but just plain dumb. Look around.....watch and listen to people regularly. You will agree.
I agree 100 percent. Generally speaking I couldn't care less what gender another person identifies as. Good for them seeking happiness in life because 99.9% of the time it has absolutely ZERO impact on my life whatsoever....so who GAF unless you are just "one of those" Nazi Christians that feels the need to condemn anyone who is different or chooses a different lifestyle.
But this actually falls into the .01 percent of this issue when it does actually impact others. How do you tell someone that they must give up participation in all sports in order to be true to themselves? On the other hand, how do you tell your daughter she will ride the pine in a game or miss out on a scholarship because a dude decided to become a chick and is the better player?
At the end of the day.....This is a very complex issue with no way for everyone involved to declare victory.
I do not know. How many would be willing to say they are female for a $250,000 worth of scholarships and entrance in a school they could not attend otherwise.
I believe 100% in trans rights but everyone here is right. In this case Biology matters. Your rights stop when they infringe on someone else's. In this case it infringes on a woman's right to equal competition. Just my 2 cents.
The current policy is that former-male athletes must be taking testosterone suppression meds for at least one year before competing as a woman. I really don’t think many males will get in line for that, no matter the value of the scholarship.
We don't often agree, but on that statement we are in agreement. I've told my son that 75% of the population are idiots, lol, but your 90% may be closer to the mark.
Has this really been a problem that has affected anyone’s life?
Our state legislature has passed a law banning it. No doubt our governor will sign it so I guess the NCAA will pull all tournaments and bowl games from our state. Which is fine with our residents. Hold the bowl games somewhere else. Anything that might slow down our growth would be a good thing. If people don't want to move here because we know the difference between a man and a woman. Fine
