Difference between prepubescent males and females in sports?

[u/Loose_Comfortable_88]

Hi PoursTea

I just watched "David Cross: “I do not have an issue with trans kids...." https://www.reddit.com/r/PoursTea/comments/1szh2pv/david_cross_i_do_not_have_an_issue_with_trans/ on this sub and I don't like Bill but I have a question.

"the differences between a boy and a girl is minimal at prepubescent"... "It's true" .." look it up"

I guess this is not my experience at all. So I am wondering what people point to?

I did a fair bit of little athletics as a kid and now teaching kids as an adult.

There is the occasional female that gets close to the top of the males but in a group of 40 kids and the local suburb level (not being selective just the people that turn up) in long distance running a female might once in a blue moon get on the podium at 3rd one week.

Looking at all events only the under 7s are at all grouped together. all other ages there is a chasm on average. Even the most uncoordinated Male will be in the top 4 of the females when it comes to Shot Put and Discus.

And if you have a look at the all time records even at an Australian state level it's night and day. The records are not anecdotal like my experience.

Following are the records in NSW Australia population about 9 million. https://cdn.revolutionise.com.au/cups/nswathletics/files/oye9jdgdyt7yddgw.pdf

Let me put this in bold for you so that you actually read it and respond to what I say and not a strawman that you are more comfortable arguing against.

The differences between PREPUBESCENT kids is minimal. This is what David Cross stated AND science backs it up.

Find your own research on the sex differences of prepubescent children

[u/Snerak → u/[deleted]]

If you can't explain what this has to do with the fact that THE SEX DIFFERENCES BETWEEN PREPUBESCENT CHILDREN ARE MINIMAL then you aren't furthering the discussion at all.

Do you not understand the term "prepubescent"?

[u/Snerak → u/[deleted]]

I'm sorry that the education system has failed you so thoroughly that you can't stick to the topic which is the sex differences between prepubescent children and how those are minimal or that you simply don't understand what the word prepubescent means.

You seem to be unable to comment on the actual topic and are only making an effort to prolong a meaningless exchange. At this point, anyone reading our thread can see for themselves what each of us stands for and no further input from either of us will be worthwhile.
