Content

Today's show involves two bills that Tulsi has introduced... BUT NOT BOTHERED TO WRITE. For real. They are entirely for vice-signaling purposes and contain no substance. However, Andrew is here to give us a deep dive on what the implications and background are. One involves Section 230 (which Andrew has been dying to tell us about!) and the other is about trans-women and sports. It's... no good. We contrast Tulsi's garbage with an important trans-rights decision. So, it's a good news ending!

Links: 47 U.S. Code § 230, Reps. Gabbard & Gosar Introduce ‘Break Up Big Tech’ Bill, Tulsi's Bill H.R.8922 has no text, Reps. Gabbard and Mullin Introduce Bill to Ensure Title IX Protections for Women and Girls in Sports, H.R.8932 also has no text.

The difference in testosterone levels at puberty make a huge difference in a number of important physical attributes that don't go away with later hormone treatment - lung function, bone density, etc. In a contact sport, this can be quite dangerous. I dont know what the best solution is, but I am troubled about denying real differences.

There are women with increased lung size and bone density who were born women. Most star athletes are physically far superior to the average. Very few women can match Serena William's physicaly for example and that is more than just training. Very few men have the differences in development that help make Phelps an amazing swimmer. Should they be disqualified because they are genetic outliers? I stand at 6'3 and so could never be a star horse jockey; should unusually short and light individuals be banned from that sport to allow larger people to be competative? Should the NFL change the rules so men who arent huge and at the very peak of human performance can compete? To get to the top in sports requires enormous dedication yes, but it also usually requires having the right genetics for your sport. Some not so much, but then in those sports the trans difference should be negligible anyway. Going through a gender transition is a HUGE step and not something people take lightly. While there may be a few who would go to those lengths for bragging rights (it's not like female athletes make much from their sports for the most part), I dont think it is enough of a problem to make life even harder for all the people who just want to be themselves.

If fairness is important enough to have a seperate category for women, then it is right to keep fairness to all women in mind. I am basing my opinions off scientific studies of differences and they can be quite substantial even after several years of hormone therapy. It varies more or less by sport.. much more substantial than what the "best" non trans can do. I wouldnt be opposed to adding more categories.. for example having trans women compete (in non combat sports) but having a special category for non trans women.. similar to non professional competitions where there are overall winners and age category winners. They all race together but are awarded prizes based on categories.
