Should have asked me for background reading BEFORE you put the meme up. Now you'll have find it yourself.

I'll say this much: There's quite a few so set aside a good amount of time for it.

I did several searches for female to male transgender athlete. Couldn’t find one competing as a male.

Same. Waiting for Thesis to get back to us with that since he/she/it apparently knows what they talking about.

"I'll say this much: There's quite a few so set aside a good amount of time for it."

In other words he has ZERO examples Of women Transitioning to males and competing in men's sports.

They would be all over the news for beating men in athletic competition so no one would have to waste time looking for something that does not exist.

You'd think so, wouldn't you?

If you going to make an argument. You have to have evidence to back your claims. Telling people to Google it for themselves isn't going to cut it. Don't get salty when others call you out on it. Instead of otherwise trolling on here and trying to make the people look bad when they ask you for evidence to begin with.

OP wants receipts of these allege trans men athletes in men's sports. Surely you can give that much. It should be easy as you stated, instead of taking so much time to go around in circles withholding such information.

The evidence of easily searchable trans male athletes in professional sports existing?

It's not like I'm alleging that Kanye West is actually a lizard man, here. The fact that you didn't even know there WERE any trans male athletes is itself the point I'm making: y'all didn't actually care to begin with.

Really?
On another thread with me you DID cite your source. Very well I might add. It just didn't make the point you hoped it would.

I do believe there are trans males competing, but sources are sparse and pointing us in the right direction is the least you can do.

We also have a few questions. Are they competing on a professional or olympic level? Are they pulverizing the competition and setting "records" the way trans female athletes are?

Ok, well, it's nice of you to believe it because there are, even if you didn't believe it. And the fact that you're the only one that even cared enough to do a quick glance means that IT DOESN'T MATTER. THEY ONLY CARED WHEN THEY THOUGHT IT WAS AN EASY ARGUMENT TO BULLY TRANS PEOPLE WITH.

Due to the limits of bending the fabric of Space-Time with today's tech, looks like your assertions are yours to prove, not by those who are asking you to back it up.

But here's the thing: there actually ISN'T a problem. Trans athletes have been a part of professional athletics pretty much throughout history with no issues. The only problem is the one you're trying to make yourself.

Seven people on this page had NO IDEA that trans people compete in the other half of sports as well.

So apparently, sports just doesn't affect any of you enough to actually care. Cthulu himself could enter the competition and it would affect you not at all.

There's no problem. You just want to complain.

No no, they actually made them submit documentation from actual psychologists and doctors. They said it's fine, they can compete in professional athletics.

Yes, they asked actual psychologists and doctors and they said it was fine.

As far as I can tell, your gripe is that they didn't ask the doctors YOU approve of, but that shouldn't be a surprise because you can't even spell psychologist. Are you really expecting them to get a list of approved names from you?

Option 1: actual psychologist who has continued to study this WAY past the high school level has been bested by a person on the internet who admits that they have a high-school level of scientific training and in fact couldn't even spell psychologist properly. Option 2: you're wrong, and everything is more complicated than what you were taught in high school.

Let's weigh these two possibilities together.

Option 1... Well, it's been known, to be fair. Option 2.... Definitely a possibility. Back to option 1.... It's rare and there's some suspension of disbelief required but it does happen. Option 2.... Not just believable but most likely the case. Option 1 again....

I can't imagine that anyone will even notice nor care. You saw how many people on this page weren't aware of trans athletes who do compete, now imagine expecting them to keep up with athletes who voluntarily don't compete.

Yup, that's what I keep saying: none of y'all actually care about sports, you're using this to complain about transgenderism.

It doesn't matter: the category is still there, whether you're in it or not. Sports is so unimportant to them, they couldn't be bothered to find out who's in these events. That puts a major cap on how big a problem you're able to make out of this.

And the sports leagues will continue to ignore you as completely unimportant to the sport.

You mean one of them complained once and it was nearly copy and pasted from the standard rant against trans that you like to use?

Sports leagues will continue to ignore a fan - a hardcore fan, no less, as his username indicates - as completely unimportant to the sport? Really? Who are you to say that, and for what reason?

And another thing the sports leagues will not continue to ignore as completely unimportant to the sport as the Women's Lib Movement (look that archaic social movement up for funziez) can attest are protests, boycotts, and even more, lawsuits. An unfair sexist situation lawsuit here, a severe injury suit there, and THE reason for F/M segregated sports in the first place will become become readily apparent for all in attendance including those short of a refresher course,,,

Some people may pretend they've forgotten the reason why there are sports teams separated along biological gender lines to begin with, but most haven't. Adopting an overly confrontational attitude will do nothing but push the reaction against it even harder.
