1) He "changed" to a woman so he could compete and actually win. It's called cheating.

2) It's an unfair advantage when you allow biological men to compete against biological women. It's called cheating.

3) It's also unfair when women change into men and are all hopped up on testosterone and compete against other women who are not. It's called cheating.

There is one underlying factor in all this. It's called cheating.

It is the end of women's sports. Who will bother to watch when the game is rigged against them now.

Why would young girls want to get into sports now, when someone who has had the advantage of being male through puberty, switches to women’s competition as they now identify as a she. I have no problem with trans people, it’s their choice but to have the advantages of male physiology hurts female athletes, not just in competition but also prize money as well. Those advantages don’t disappear in lowering testosterone years after the benefits have been hard wired, performance dips slightly but advantages still remain.

they must be really bad to lose with a biological advantage

Yes they do. How blind can you be?
Do you exist in the real world?
Men are faster and stronger than women. That is a fact. It is because they have denser bones, testosterone, they are usually bigger, etc. etc. Women can certainly beat men, but men have the physical advantage. Men and women cant just be switched around and that is clear in sports.

Maybe that's because you're an out of shape older man and not a runner. Come on.

You're old enough to appreciate the time it takes to write a well thought out sentence, and young enough to not obsess over the occasional grammatical mistake. 🙂

I guarantee that if a good male sprinter ran against a good female sprinter the male one would win.

it isnt because of a not documented reason. it is men are scientifically stronger and faster. that does not mean there are many exceptions.

interesting to note, women are better at many ultra long runs

But are you in training shape? Because they are.

People rendering the definition of gender to mere fashion accessory status is one thing, but regardless of whether anyone agrees or disagrees or what they may have snip off or be shot full of, chromosomes - and what they determine - cannot be altered.

There are always outliers. Men are generally about 40% physically stronger than women, this is accepted fact. But that doesn't mean there aren't some women out there who are stronger than some men.

For example, Ronda Rousey could kick many men's asses all day without even breaking a sweat, but she's an outlier, and outliers do not prove your case.

Ordinary Joe and Jane in the street would struggle and almost certainly lose against professional female athletes, but that's not who they would be competing against. The cases where trans women are winning are those that were previously sportsmen who then transitioned. You can't just lose that additional growth and muscle development after years of male physiology, by chemical alterations afterwards.

If this continues then you might as well rip up female sports and just have one category, human and everyone competes against each other.

Even better, why not have people identify as disabled and compete in the Paralympics. I am sure that would be fair........

The problem is no one is asking why were things separated by gender in the first place. If there is no biological reason, they should not be separated by gender anyways. If there is a biological reason, then how an individual "feels" is irrelevant.

Good news is he has a 50% chance of killing himself before the next race.

Do you also applaud when males beat up women in contact sports? And here i thought you were pro-woman.

Joe Rogan gets upset about some trans ufc fighter that would beat the crap out of women. That's one unfortunate result of this mindset. Women not bothering to compete because they know they will lose is another. It's things like that that takes neutral observers and turns them anti trans.

You mean him. Remember...biology???

Good for her that she can win by cheating?
