Exertion is the physical or perceived use of energy.

Wouldn’t moving a chess piece be considered this? Lol
Thank you for being respectful. It’s ok that you disagree and are wrong. Lol

But seriously you lefties are killing me with your wishy-washy anybody can be anything / I can’t tell you the definition of a woman / Clinton “what is is?” logic. Chess is not a sport. The board game Monopoly is not a sport. Gemstone IV is not a sport. We don’t call people who play those games athletes just because they have to move a piece or type on a keyboard.

It’s a shame we need to even have this discussion. Honestly we shouldn’t have to legislate this kind of bullshit either, but you people (respectfully and sincerely) are fucking it up. It’s not sexist, or non-inclusive, or transphobic, or whatever other nonsense to say that a person born with a cock & balls shouldn’t be allowed to compete in sports leagues designed for people born with a pussy & tiddies for very obvious reasons.
