They've used the phrase "assigned" for decades. Language shifts. Words have different meanings in different contexts. You know all of that. If you can "observe" it before the baby is born, that'd be a reason not to change it to "observed." It's made official when it's "assigned" at birth. That's all that use of the word means. -

It's not so much the time that is an issue it is this notion that sex is 'assigned'. What, is the Dr. going to say, "well your baby has a penis, but I am going to assign his sex as female."? The pollution of the language is a big factor in how this stuff is sold. The baby's sex is observed not assigned. And in most cases it is observed on an ultrasound long before birth. But neither of these inconvenient facts fit the narrative. -

The Beres drivers are even more expensive. My understanding is they sell the loin's share of these into Japan. The clubs perform well but the bigger component is that they are also something of a status symbol. The ironic part is how poorly the Beres Drivers and the like hold their value. You can pick up fairly recent models on the secondary market for under 200 bucks. Which must be heartbreaking for somebody who spent more than $5K on it when it was new. BTW - I love the banana duct taped to wall art piece story. I give all the props in the world to the person who came up with the idea. -

So you can't be proactive, you can only be reactive? If the USGA had been more proactive, others would point out, we wouldn't be seeing a rollback. I don't see that as the main reason for the change. I think that, as Matt said earlier, women who were once young men (beyond puberty) do have a competitive advantage. Nobody has an issue with a 25-year-old not being allowed to compete in a junior event. Or a mine field. 😉
