Hello everyone,
I’m interested in gathering thoughts and perspectives, particularly from the trans community, regarding trans women’s participation in women’s sports. This is a topic that often sparks debate, and I want to understand the various viewpoints better.
My question is: What are your opinions on biologically male trans individuals competing in women’s sports? Do you think there should be separate categories for trans athletes, or should they compete in accordance with their gender identity? I am looking for thoughtful, respectful discussions, as my intention is not to discriminate but to understand the complexities of this issue better.
Thank you for sharing your insights!
Not one single solitary person who cares so desperately about trans people in women’s sport has ever given one single solitary shit about women’s sports themselves. It’s just an excuse to practice their hatred while pretending to be righteous and Only Wanting What’s Fair. But it’s all about ethics in video game journalism, uhuh, sure.
Trans women are women. Even if they had some statistical advantage, they aren’t taking away opportunities from women in sport, because they are women in sport. That’s like wanting to ban naturalised citizens from the workplace because they’re wrecking the economy by taking jobs away from [nationality] people.
Spend a couple of years on oestrogen, see how much upper body strength advantage you retain. It’ll be somewhere between fuck and all.
Jesus fucking christ do trans teenagers not have it hard enough without people wanting to make their lives more shit out of spite? Fuck I hate humans.
I would say the only way I would be ok with barring trans women from sports would be if they barred women with PCOS. Then it’s the same ruling for all women, no hormone issues.
