Women arguing against the decision by FINA to disallow transgender women from competing at the olympic games as 'women' because it's 'unscientific'

@Applepiedom the argument that transgender women have an unfair advantage when they crush a record only works if you conveniently ignore all trans women who don't get anywhere near the top and cis women utterly crushing records too. 🙄

@NerdyPotato the fact is,DNA should dictate what team you're on

@Applepiedom that would make it all rather unbalanced, but at least it's clear. Just hand over your DNA, hoping nobody is going to use it for anything other than checking your sex, and you're good to go. 👍

@NerdyPotato well quit screwing with what you're born as and no worries or if there's been surgery on private parts you're out.

@Applepiedom biological women who happened to look a bit manly have already had to show their vagina to a jury to access to the women's competition. That's where judging people by their genitals has headed. I'd much rather have people being classified by their weight, muscle mass and skills over what's in their pants, but if you have no problem with forcing women to drop their pants in order to participate in sports, I'm probably not going to change your mind.

@NerdyPotato that's the problem. Dropping trow doesn't really prove anything. So DNA and drug testing it is but that won't change your mind

@Applepiedom yet that is what organizations demand because so many fans are obsessed with what's in someone's pants to classify someone's abilities. I agree 100% on drug testing and somewhat on DNA testing, if that looks at extraordinary genetic advantages for the sport in question, rather than sex chromosomes alone that may be an indication of capabilities at most and definitely not a determination of those.

@NerdyPotato sex dna. If you want to be better train better. Hell I'd like to be a body builder but am smart enough to know that that isn't going to happen. Some people are meant to be athletic,some aren't. But males ( in any shape) shouldn't be in female sports and other way around

@Applepiedom exactly! Some people are better than others at something (and usually the other way around in other activities). Nothing about that is unfair. There is however much more than chromosomes to masculinity, and being a man by any criteria doesn't by definition make you stronger than a woman. I'd love to see the average man who thinks it does take on any female bodybuilder.
