    So apparently Transgenders would rather compete against biologically correct individuals than people like themselves. I wonder why? I believe because they want to look like winners among an entire gender. The only sports this is a problem in is in women sports for obvious reasons. So these men that want to compete against a lesser physical standard, To get their reputation on the backs of women.


    That’s no moral ground we should even give thought to. It’s despicable.

    Same deal as all the gays keeping it in their bedrooms: it’s impossible to gain validation from society if nobody pays attention to what you are doing.

    Gay weddings were all about societal validation. Likewise, competing against women is about validation. Remove that and you’ve removed the entire point. Hence why zero signed up to play against themselves.

    These people need help. Unfortunately, liberals have confused validation as being the help they need when nobody has ever cured a mental illness by having their dick sucked

    Validation on the back of women isn’t an accomplishment if you ask me.

    All of this hate you harbor is sickening. Turn off the hate feed and try living for a change. Why do you sit here day in and day out obsessing over minority groups who have NO EFFECT on you whatsoever?

    Because I have enough compassion for the women losing medals to men in their sports.

    It is if you get the women to accept it and even applaud you for it.

    If only you cared even half as much about things that actually mattered.

    Maybe there’s just not a whole lot of trans swimmers?

    Evidently YOU care enough about the topic to try to derail it and make it about Joe instead of the actual topic.

    Normal people are not on board with this agenda.
    It's a delusion and a mental illness being given the false air of legitimacy by the left.

    If you progressives would stop doing that, this conversation would not be happening.

    If they could stop trying to teach the children that this is somehow normal people would care 100% less

    Those girls and their efforts do matter.

    No one who has read your posts on women believes that.

    Oh, and I think we can see the next iteration of this hate campaign coming down the road.

    As trans athletes become aware there is an 'open' category in some sports some will enter, but the fields will necessarily be small. Cue hatemongers attacking the athletes for not 'earning' their medals.

    This isn't about women of fairness or any of that, it is about hate. As long as trans people exist and are visible the same people will attack them.

    People with morals know that men fabricating themselves as women, then competing against women is wrong. You don't see this? The reason being is, all the sickening hate against normal women from the trans brigade. They need to turn this hate off. Your thought process is back-to-front, trans are obsessing over normal folk.

    Moral people strive for fairness, biological men competing against biological women is not fair, because unfortunately, men and women are not equal. You will also find women are not all equal to other women, and men are not equal to other men. So the moral thing to do is, have women sports and men sports. And various sports, such as boxing, are broken down further to make competing fairer by having weight categories.

    And the trans failing to compete in their category just displays their sickening agenda.

    I could care less what you believe I believe. Just cause I will never vote for a woman doesn’t mean I don’t believe their sports should be fair competition in their sports. It’s obviously telling that transgenders will sign up to compete against women but not against themselves.

    Maybe they just don’t want to compete in a field of five other athletes?

    Then compete in the men’s category. Not the one where place 172 in men’s can become place 4 in women’s.

    exactly, I coach young athletes. Most currently are girls-the Hunger Games saw lots of girls want to try archery. Top women archers can hang with good male shooters in some events. At the biggest and most lucrative indoor archery contest in the world, the pro ranks has TWO divisions. Ladies only and OPEN. why? because there are a couple women who shoot a 900/900 each year and qualify for the shoot downs. If you are a lady and shoot a 900 in the women's division, in every year but say one, you would win outright but the money isn't as big. So top women can choose to shoot in the open division where the winner is going to make over 100,000 dollars. and a few women have sacrificed a sure win the ladies division to shoot against the men. None have won yet. but they have the option. So let the trans women compete against the men. This crap that we don't want them to compete is just that =crap. what we don't want them doing is having second string male athletes switching to the women's divisions so they can win. It has nothing to do about hating gender confused individuals. What it is about is protecting real girls and ladies sports

    Trans women on HRT are far more similar to cis women in the physical capabilities than they to cis men. No reason to put them into a division that would put them at a huge disadvantage.

    Couple quick question, should trans men taking HRT (testosterone) be forced to compete with cis women? Do you think they might be at an unfair advantage?

    wrong-they have an advantage over real women. Life is full of choices. If a dude decides to become a faux woman, he still has to compete against men. Those pushing for these faux women to be able to compete against real women do so for reasons that have nothing to do with the integrity of athletics or what is best for real women. It's all an attempt to try to make society accept faux women as the real thing.The integrity of sports and women's athletics is far more important

    Yes, trans women are at such an advantage over cis women that they’ve been allowed to compete in the Olympics since 2004 and only just had their first gold medalist in 2020. On Canada’s women’s soccer team. Trans women aren’t showing up and blowing cis women out of the water. When they do well, it’s noteworthy; for a reason.

    Do you think this would be the case if a) trans women athletes were transitioning in pursuit of success in athletics, and b) were at a substantial advantage over cis women? Your fears just aren’t playing out in reality.

    By the way, I notice you didn’t answer my questions: Should trans men taking HRT (testosterone) be forced to compete with cis women? Do you think they might be at an unfair advantage if they were?

    What's even more telling is that this problem is almost entirely one-way. It's almost always some attention-seeking, mediocre male trying to gain access to women-only spaces, shouting about their "right" to shower with women and watch them undress. Gee, must be a coincidence.
