Lefty Should Not Be Given Consideration, in Serious Discussions

Rapinoe just wants a chance for the National Woman’s Team, to finally beat a group of High School boys.

😅

If cis women with lots of muscle and testosterone can go in Womens sports, why not trans women?

Muscle mass and density, twitch muscles, skeletal proportions, bone density, lung capacity, different hormone levels including adrenaline...

There are plenty of men who are weaker than the average woman, and women who are stronger than the average man, but there tends to be marked differences in general. Men and women are built somewhat differently, and it's not just for the sake of women looking prettier. And that includes characteristics that cannot be altered by surgery or hormone injections.

It's not exactly an accident that men who are altered to appear more like women have a greater tendency to outdo the competition when they're biological women in sports. They tend to have it unfair advantage, and that's the very reason why we have sexually segregated sports to begin with. It defies the purpose when somebody grows their hair long and changes their pronouns or something and wants to get in a swim meet or boxing match against biologically born women.

Why don’t trans women go into men’s sports?

Maybe because they aren't men?

But they are male. The whole separate men’s and women’s sports is based on sex, not social gender. Notice that there aren’t any trans men wanting to play in men’s sports? It’s because, unlike trans women, they don’t have a physical advantage.

Yes, there are trans men wanting to play in men's sports. There was a famous case of a wrestler in Texas who was trans and he wanted to wrestle with the other boys, but the state laws made him wrestle against girls, the very thing conservatives were crying about. Conservatives are so confused they don't even know what they want. If they got their way, you would have men with muscles and beards going into women's restrooms because they were born female.

And we see from the research and the actual competitions that trans women do not have the huge advantage that conservatives say they do. Trans athletes have been competing in the Olympics for years and I think there has only been one case of a trans athlete winning a gold medal.

The Texas wrestler was taking testosterone supplements, which is prohibited for normal people. This is an example of trans people wanting special treatment. The rules were that you had to wrestle based on your sex but she/he wanted them to make an exception.

It’s not conservatives who are confused. They don’t want biological male perverts “legal” access to women’s rooms by dressing up as a female and claiming they are transgender.

Just because trans athletes don’t always win a gold medal doesn’t mean they don’t have a physical advantage.

How do you know hormone supplements are prohibited for other people? And even if he was taking testosterone, he would still have a lower level of T than other boys, so it wouldn't give him any advantage.

He wasn't asking for any special treatment. He wanted to be treated the same as the other boys and wrestle against them. Another example of conservatives claiming LGBTQ people want special treatment when they just want to be treated the same as everyone else.

Thanks for proving my point. If he had to wrestle based on his sex at birth, he would be wrestling against girls, which would be unfair. Just like how if you want people to have to use the bathroom based on their sex at birth, you would have men with muscles and beards using the women's room.

Conservatives are very confused about this issue. Every conservative I talk to about this even admits they don't understand and don't want to understand the issue. And then of course they get everything wrong.

Sexual predators claiming to be transgender just so they can get into a woman's bathroom is not something that actually happens. Conservatives like to pretend it does, but we don't actually see that. We've seen that these bathroom bills don't reduce sexual assault, but they do result in women getting harassed if they don't look "feminine enough"

Trans athletes almost never win gold medals. Wouldn't they win every single competition if they had such an advantage? Many sporting organizations have rules for how long somebody has to be on hormone therapy and what their hormone levels have to be at for them to participate.
