I'm curious to hear what trans people and allies think of trans women in women sports.

To me this seems like an area where we really do have to differentiate between a biological woman and a trans woman in the name of fair competition.

What do you think?
Is there any science which would disconfirm this position?

Bio males do have an advantage.

The real question is - wouldn't an athlete want challenge him or herself in a fair competition instead of just seeking an easy win?

There is no adrenaline rush nor feeling of accomplishment when competing against someone who has little to no chance of winning. Most athletes want to push their limits as to improve.

Even when a trans athlete wins, nobody is going to be impressed anyways so what is the point?
