Gal: No, what?
Guy: There’s a team at a small college that has a 6’9” basketball player who used to be called LeBron, but who has changed to being called Melissa. A judge just ruled that Melissa can play on the girls' team. Actually, Melissa has been playing for the undefeated team, breaking school records for points, rebounds, assists, and opponents’ jaws.
Gal: That’s not fair. Did LeBron undergo some estrogen infusion before going through puberty?
Guy: No idea. Melissa says she’s a girl. Isn’t that enough for the college sports organizations like NAIA and NCAA? You’re a Lefty. Do you want to discriminate?
Gal: But it’s not fair to the women on the other teams. If I played, I would ask the coach to forfeit.
Guy: You mean the way San Jose State’s volleyball opponents forfeited?
Gal: Did they? Well, then, yes, sure.
Guy: So, it matters to you if you were involved, but it doesn’t matter to you if you were not involved?
Gal: I guess so. I hadn’t thought of it like that.
Guy: And that’s the trouble with most Lefties. Policy made in a vacuum. Policy made for “others.” Just like the border policy of the Biden-Mayorkas-Harris years. Best example is the recent discovery of two toddlers from El Salvador found unaccompanied at the border. Toddlers! And they aren’t an exception.
Gal: So, you would do what? Stop migrants from seeking a better life just the way you would ban Melissa from playing basketball?
Guy: There’s just no reasoning with you because your reasoning is based on hypotheticals and unattainable ideals and not on realities. Period.
Gal: Just like a man. You think you know it all.
Guy: I’m just sayin’ “Step on the court. Play the actual game against a biological male, not some imagined game in which the general population of males and females are physically equal in strength.” That condition is unreal when a 6’9” former LeBron stands in the key and jumps for a rebound.
