Stop with the hate. Its toxic for everyone, including yourself.

Men competing as women would seem to be unfair to women competitors.

Why do you hate women?

Agree!

Easiest solution is to allow PEDs, and any other form of genetic enhancement.

Let it be the Wild West of body modification regardless of gender identity!

At least It would make competitive running interesting again.

I was talking to one of my best friends from college about this. She is liberal, once helped write speeches for HRC but is also veyr much into recognizing the amazing uniqueness of a woman's body (she's actually going to give birth to a 4th kid tomorrow at age 46). She still can't believe this is allowed. But I was talking to her about it last week and I was like "But if we can assure they have hormones to dampen their peformance, at what point do we allow it?" Her response was along the lines of "Never in elite sport. Do they every have 2 days a month where they have their period and feel like shit?" I almost fell out of my chair. Moving on.

If 1% of the US population is transgender then it shouldn't be a surprise that one out of hundreds of female Olympic Trials qualifiers might be transgender.

Do we really think it's 1%? I keep hearing that 10% of the US is homosexual but then see that only 3% of households in San Fran are same sex.

Everything you said is ignorant, trans phobic, and ridiculous, back to the basement with you Mr. troll.

This person was on the Australian Men's Team Handball Team and then tried to play women's sports

This defeats the whole point of separate competitions for men and women.

I have no problem with transgender individuals but someone who was born biologically male will have a huge unfair advantage over biological females even with the hormone treatments. It is not fair to let these men compete in the women's race.

Either you just drop gender distinctions and have everyone compete in the same race (and men will dominate all endurance sports expect for things like very long distance ocean swimming or perhaps super long distance ultra running) or you keep it clear:

-You only compete with women if you are biologically female (i.e., XX) and are not taking hormones to become male

-If you are born male or have male levels of testosterone (e.g., XXY or woman taking hormones to transition) , you compete with the men.

wooow

No offense but your friend is sn idiot. Many pros don’t have periods - some by choice, others as result of their training

Actually, you’re the idiot. Females who don’t get a periods may be taking birth control, which often comes with side effects, or by training so hard that they develop REDS, which is harmful to one’s health and athletic performance. Or maybe they got endometriosis and had to have a hysterectomy? What about the danger to pay and performance of getting pregnant? Also a female concern. Point being, all females have to manage the material reality of the female body while participating in sports, and for nearly all women, and this includes taking active steps to manage menstruation.

You must be a man.

I agree Chia!

You are offensive. You should admit the fact that you don't know what you're talking about. And when you don't know what you are talking about STFU, listen and learn.

What if the MTF actually looks more like a woman, and has something resembling female morphology? For example, this Thai MTF:

Probably has more of the traits that make it more difficult for women to compete (wide hips, more fat, etc) than most elite xx women. I think Epstein makes a related set of points in his book...

Men who are a half hour too slow to compete with the men, can identify as a female and run with the girls. The day is coming when 3 swinging dicks take all the Women's Olympic Marathon Medals! I will laugh my a$$ off!!

Can't wait to see it in boxing. Love to see Mike Tyson come back identifying as Michelle Tyson.

I'll pay to see him put some b!tch in a coma!

There are many posts like this, but it takes a lot more than merely identifying as a woman. The hormone treatments are no joke and can slow someone down by 30 seconds a mile.

You and other sick people would pay to watch Tyson put a woman in a coma, but promoters are not going to schedule a fight that normal human beings don't want to watch.

You say the treatments can slow you by 30 sec a mile. To be a top 10 women in US you need to be sub 2:30. That would be 2:17 for a guy. There are 200 guys who can run that in the US right now.

She should have the decency to do the right thing, even if competing is permitted by the rules. This is not progress, it's an illegitimate claim to prestige and resources meant for females. I'm happy to join any trans athletes who want to create opporunities for participation that don't harm women.

By following the rules, she is exposing the absurdity of the rules, although that is not her intention.

If she does not compete, someone else will. And the rules won't change until we get an absurd outcome as a result of following the rules.

Decency? She isn't keeping anyone else off that start line and she won't be affecting any prize money allocation. It's not the same as someone who has demonstrated ability to truly compete at this level, she's field fodder at best and probably won't make the cut (no pun) in 2024.

Men should not compete in women's sports, theres a reason men and women are decided in sports and its becsuse there are biological difference between men and women that give men a significant advantage. Leftist di not stand up for women and do not believe in fair play.
