Transgender women athletes are just Strong women. They shouldn't be disqualified from women sports solely because they're stronger than other women.

They aren't women. They were born male and shall remain male until the day they die.

Competition in athletics is an absurdity. No two people at the starting line will ever have identical biology: Why pit them against each other? Attempting to limit entrants by declaring which groups have equal potential - or by artificially trying to make their chances equal - is folly. But, with humans, 'what else is new?'

When nationalism is brought in to the picture it's even sillier (ignoring for the moment the potential to inflame existing animosities.) Why should I pride myself that someone who excels at something happens to hold citizenship in the same country as I do? Why would I have negative feelings if they don't?

I am conflicted here. I want the right for TG athletes to compete. But I cant deny the advantage a born male Skeleton, muscle and ligament attachments gives that a born female just cant match. Maybe the answer is a special category. But I see problems there as well.😷

{@thearbitrator] this sounds like transgender phobia . yes they do have an advantage but i agree with you that should not prevent them from competing

Why not have a transgender sports category?

I'm still trying to figure out what Transgender women are.

@Azlotto From what I see, many people who declare themselves transgendered - and demand to be recognized as such - act all offended and heap scorn on you, if you ask them to describe what they mean. They're engaging in a kind of trolling really.

@Really Indeed. Well-put.
