I personally believe transgender men are taking rights away from women

Rights as in our rights to have women sports, women bathrooms, little known fact, we already have a class of sports that totally accepts anyone, it's been falsely identified as the " men's League " but in all reality it's the world's league, if I was skilled enough in chess I could go for the world title against Magnus Carlson, why don't they just stick to where the true equality is? Instead of going to the women's league and breaking all the world records that true born women have strived their whole lives to accomplish

@helsbels Lol... That's not a credible source. Half of it's "supporting evidence" is untraceable because it's locked behind a paywall.

@HootyTheNightOwl Really? I can see it all just fine, a long list. But always in these conversations no source is ever deemed acceptable, or the goal posts always move 🤷‍♀️ You're as fixed in your opinipn as I am in mine and won't accept any alternative.

@helsbels Maybe you can enlighten us on this and it's sources, then??? I tried to check the sources myself - but, like I said, it's behind a paywall.

I've heard arguments from both sides of the fence on this - and I still struggle to find logical arguments to support this "unfair" advantage that trans women have??? I mean, sure, they might or might not be taller than a biological woman... but, even if they do the bare minimum to transition, which is taking HRT - even the Mayo clinic has this to say...

Less muscle mass. This will begin 3 to 6 months after treatment starts. You'll see the full effect within 1 to 2 years.

So, if you're looking to transition just to "win all the awards at women's competitions", you're kind of defeating the purpose given the fact that you're sacrificing your muscles.
