You should try to understand the science rather than what you think is going on. I posted a number of articles that cite studies that refute this.

Sorry, are you saying that you don't believe that men are stronger and faster than women?

ninabeansxo.bsky.social•158 days ago

I’m saying that it’s not as simple as that when it comes to trans athletes, which you would understand if you read any of the multiple links I shared.

I am speaking in general. We can agree that on the average that men are fast and stronger than women. This is not controversial.

So, it a trans woman who went through puberty competes against a biological woman, they have an unfair advantage. You can post whatever anti science nonsense you want

I am not really a believer in the neutrality of the ACLU, sorry

Yeah, he shouldn't be allowed to compete against females. Unfair. Sorry.

Also, females shouldn't have to share locker rooms with females with a penis either

You are speaking in ignorance. I included articles with scientific evidence.

Golf? There is a conversion. Depends on how recent transition is. For the limited amount of data we have, male athletes that transitioned into women DO have worse athletic performance over time. Even falling below top women in their respective Sports. More research is needed.

It's a bit of putting the cart before the horse, but we will need more trans athletes for the studies if we ever want to be fair to trans people and cis women. Different sports and leagues might even end up having different standards depending on what we find.

Replacing gender divisions with performance brackets would be the truest manifestation of sportsmanship, imo.

dread000.bsky.social•95 days ago

It would be lol, but many sports would just have men and transmen on the top level. It would be neat to see it tried out in some team sports and see how it goes.

Implemented trials that athletes could opt into for a season.
