Transgender people possibly soon being banned from certain sport divisions

this should never have been allowed in the first place. Glad they are on track to fixing this and sport for women can go back to being fair.
Talks of Trans people possibly getting their own division, So nobody and cry about them being excluded because they are not.
Just the majority should not be disadvantaged to please the few

Fairness? A picture is indeed worth 1000 words.

@BizSuitStacy now show when the person with XY overtakes them with ease
@Torsten the photo already does.

@BizSuitStacy i guess it does. I never looked at it like that at first haha
@Torsten the same folks who constantly lecture us on "following the science" are in desperate need of a biology refresher.

@BizSuitStacy couldn't agree more

@BizSuitStacy Wtf? Are you not trans? You once identified as such, I remember.
@Theyitis No I did not. It's irrelevant regardless. The topic is about whether it's fair for a MtoF trans athlete to compete in women's sports. And it's not. In any sporting event where size, speed or strength are key factors in winning, males have a distinct advantage over females. There are studies that have been completed and the biology is pretty simple. After a males goes through puberty, they produce far more testosterone than women leading to a skelatal and muscular structure that provides this advantage. Even if the athlete then decides to change gender and uses testosterone blockers and takes estrogen, they still have an inherent physical advantage of initial development. And the body of a MtoF trans athlete will still continue to produce more testosterone than that of a woman. If the participation of MtoF trans athletes continues to perpetuate itself in women's sports, then MtoF's will unfairly dominate in certain events. That's just science.
