  Who? That one swimmer who tied for 5th and threw a tempter tantrum that she had to share her 5th place finish with someone?

    How about the one that had her skull fractured by a trans MMA fighter?

      Someone got a head injury in MMA and are blaming their opponent being trans?

        Yes. Once she was outed nobody would fight her anymore though. Extremely unfair as men have much bigger wrists, heads, hands etc. So important in fighting.

        Similar things happened in weightlifting up here in Canada. A guy was such if seeing everybody lose to a trans champion so he declared himself a woman and shattered the current record by over 220 kg.

        Regardless of you thinking people can skip genders that’s only mentally. We just aren’t the same physically. So many differences that hormones won’t remove

      Misinformation: she had her orbital bone fractured. MMA fights also have a high rate of that exact injury.

  You speak for all women athletes?

  Hey, hey! I’m a woman athlete, and I think you should stfu. Trans rights are human rights.

    First woman I’ve met who supports it. Out of curiosity you would be okay entering competitions where you have no chance of winning?

  Plenty of people disagree with plenty of things. I don’t care about some popularity contest, I care about what is factually morally correct. Trans people deserve to play sports in an environment that’s as fair as it is for anyone else.

  IMO all the stakes should be lowered and everything should just be coed.

  But since we can’t have nice things then yeah the science says that taking feminizing HRT evens the playing field between cis and trans women. I didn’t make the rules, cis people did, but now that those rules validate and grace trans people with respect for their gender cis folk want to change things. Not to actually be fair but to humiliate trans people. It’s so hurtful, cynical and transparently hateful

    Science definitely does not say that these drugs make people equal. They don’t change your physical bone structure. Your center of gravity. Thickness of your skull or your hands.
