Popular science booster Neil deGrasse Tyson has been going all-in for male born athletes competing against women.
Tyson insisted that the issue of transgenders in women’s sports is a “solvable problem” and one that can be addressed so that “inclusion” can be achieved.
“So it requires more creative thought rather than saying no to at all,” he added. “It’s an unsolved problem. Yes, but it’s not unsolvable, given what we know about human physiology. So why not rise to that occasion and solve it rather than take your older view of the world and force modern emergent conduct of people to fit that?”
“Well, hold on a second. The difference is the difference is physiologically between men and women is not just hormonal. Women have a different hip angle. They have different heart capacities. They have different lung capacity. I mean, there are profound physiological differences, different bone density,” Kisin retorted.
Tyson then offered the idea of weight classifications to further “slice the population” to make things fair, adding, “So, for example, I wrestled in my life. I was captain of my high school wrestling team. It would be unfair for me at 190 pounds, which is what I was back then, to wrestle someone 120 pounds.”“Hold on. It would actually be unfair for you to wrestle a woman who is also 190 pounds,” Kisin countered.
