So, after all of recorded history, it has come to this: an (alleged) astrophysicist claims it is odd that we separate male and female athletes.
In a recent (2022) discussion with science writer and podcaster Michael Shermer, Neil deGrasse Tyson said: “It is a little weird that we split people by male and female in this way. I’m imagining a hundred years from now looking back and saying, ‘Do you know back 100 years ago they split boys and girls and they couldn’t compete?’ And … that’d just be kind of a little weird.”
Really? At the rate we’re going, in 30 years people may not be able

He's paid to have followers and promulgate the party line. Otherwise, he's a nullity. What a joke.

I think that Neil and others like him who think that way are weird morons. But that's just me.

I put this Neil jerk in the same category as that goofball Bill Nye "The Science Guy".
Both are media creations given the veneer of being science experts, put on screens to charm and captivate lesser minds into following leftist ideology. Nye is especially cunning because his target audience is children who are easily amused and entertained by the character he so deftly plays. He's actually a Pee Wee Herman type who is selling Marxism.
They are dangerous and destructive charlatans.

I’m not “sensitive” or “empathic”, actually I’m kind of an jerk but does anyone else get a weird vibe from this guy? More than the usually lefty wing nut job vibe. I can’t look at him for more than a second or two.

He has just shown all of us what a joke he is. An AA astronomer showing he is not fit to have any meaningful job.

This is the lefty way of reestablishing male dominence in society. Put the boys and girls together and encourage the boys to beat the girls into the ground.

Sure, let the women play in the NFL. Just ensure plenty of medical help is nearby.

projection- the progressive left accuses conservatives of waging a "war on women" while they inflict the casualties.

One wonders how much money Serena Williams would have made if there were a single 128-person main draw at all the majors. None? Less than none? Serena Who?

I had contact with him several years ago when I wrote to correct him on a very basic phrase he had put out on the internet.To his credit, he did make the correction. He does talk a good game, but on the other hand, he is doing what he has to do to stay in the good graces of his lefty fellow travelers.

FTA: “Why do you care?! What businesses is it of yours to require that I fulfill your inability to think of gender on a spectrum?”
Nobody really cared in the past. Then delusional leftists, like this hack, started shoving it in everyone’s faces, demanding top billing in our lives and making it our business.

Hey, Neil, isn't it odd how we separate lawyers from welders, soldiers from priests, .... or garbage men from astrophysicists?
Welcome to reality.

I like Neil. But, not as much as he does. It irks me when he states that December 25 was the birthday of a person who changed the world. And it's Sir Isaac Newton instead of Jesus Christ. Another irk is he demands that all 3 of his names be used. As someone smarter than me observed the only people who need 3 names are beauty contestants and assassins. If I ever met him I'd just say Pluto is a planet and the Big Dipper is a constellation.

Woo hoo! Neil's gone! No sense at all. Does this guy still have a functioning noodle? It takes hard work and application to become this stupid, but Neil's gone through the goalposts, rotating end over end, and into the tall net. He has scored.

My cousin has twin daughters who are both very good speed walkers. They've both won national and international awards in their sport and will attend the same university with scholarships this fall. I've often thought what would have happened to these two if boys had been on their high school team, boys with longer legs and great lung capacity. Expecting girls to compete with boys in sports is not fair.

There was a YouTube ad that Tyson appeared in that begins with something to the effect...
"There is nothing more dangerous than someone who knows just enough about something to think they know everything".
Tyson is the POSTERBOY for this line of thinking. He IS where he is today because of the perceived disparity of being black and an 'astrophysicist'. He is actually just a spokesmouth. And he is dangerously ignorant of even the most basic truths of life.

Astrophysicists have deeper insights into the mystery of the universe outside us, not the anthropology inside us. The sexes are different in meaningful ways that affect their interaction and competition. Go back to your telescope, Neil, or pick up a biology book from before 1990.

Does he really believe this, or is he just covering his butt. His livelihood depends on media, government, and colleges. If he was to come out and call all of this BS, then he would blacklisted and he couldn't give a lecture or write a paper that would be recognized by academic institution.

Proof that he was never authentic, intelligent, trained or disciplined in any kind of science. I mean, why did anyone EVER listen to him. About anything.

Hey Neil! Did you know 100 years ago there was this thing called women's sports, but it was replaced with transports when the women couldn't compete against men pretending to be women? Don't be stupid, Neil! Keep repeating government policy and propaganda, Neil you liar!

I would love to have him explain why it is that elite biological female athletes keep coming in behind biological males with unremarkable performances when competing against other biological males.
I say this because no one has explained what female athletes are failing to do in order to win against the biological men pretending to be women. Are biological females just not trying hard enough, and that's why activists spit on them when they object to being forced into unfair competition against men?

Neil's extensive curriculum must not have included any courses in anatomy.
One hundred years from now, if nothing changes, there will be no women's sports. First the cisgender women will give up in disgust. Once the "trans women" are reduced to competing only with other men, they will realize the pretense is no longer worth it.

Not to mention that intellectual competitions don't warrant separate grouping for males and females, while physical competitions veritably demand such a separation. Even if there is actually an authentic scientific molecule in Neil, it might not imply an awareness of the nature of sporting contests or the widely disparate capabilities of men vs. women.

A professional idiot. He has gotten FAR more air time than he deserves, just because he's black and an "astrophysicist" which sounds "smart".
I've listened to him too many times on TV....nothing shows me he's actually much above average in any way.
And this....pure stupidity.

Astrophysicists have the same foolproof protection that Climatologists have. You can be wrong on almost everything but nobody can prove it either way because what you know is theoretical and physically untouchable. Everything that you are observing through a telescope happened centuries ago. I never cared enough to bother to research his education but I can make an educated guess how he achieved it.

“ …What businesses is it of yours to require that I fulfill your inability to think of gender on a spectrum?”
So, tell me, Neil, if gender is on a spectrum, why are there only two choices for people who want to “transition”?

That same Neil deGrasse Tyson who flunked out of the University of Texas PhD program. The same who made provably false and slanderous statements against then President Bush. The same who embellishes his own speeches to make himself look good while belittling other. The same with no moral rudder.

That's because guys like debasee lie-son and shrill Nye the science lie are and never were athletes competing at a high level. They wouldn't understand what the term "level playing field" means beyond the landscape grading concept.
