Bone density, muscle mass, speed power all biology of testosterone. What do you think of trans athletes who have been through male puberty winning scholarships from sports etc when biological woman don’t stand a chance?

I think it's a very sensitive topic that needs a lot more knowledge before jumping in and having a one sided view of it. There aren't many examples of trans women beating their female counterparts in competitive sport, and an example I'm thinking of is that New Zealand woman Hubbard who competed in the Commonwealth games weightlifting and didn't even place.

I read the article and give my view on it based on information I have available. I can critically analyse any article for example the article does make baseless claims without evidence “this has been the worst year for trans rights” etc.


It is a complicated topic, and it does seem well intended although some of the most horrific things ever have been done with good intentions.

Like I said my intuition is leave the kids alone.

This statement is a gigantic red flag and would only be made by someone who is led by their ego.

It is indeed a complicated topic and needs to be treated with consideration, empathy and fluid thinking. All of which the glib statement you followed it with means you are likely disqualified from.

Another self aggrandising free thinker in our midst, how wonderful for the ignore list.

To be fair there have been quite a few examples since Hubbard although in the grand scale of world sports it's obviously still very rare given there simply aren't that many trans athletes to begin with. Out of all the complaints towards the trans movement id say the sports one is the one with the most substance that non-bigoted people with a 'live and let live' attitude can understand to a certain degree... which is probably why the more unsavory anti-trans grifters use it as one of their main talking points, hoping they can sway more reasonable minds towards their bigoted ideology.

Quite a few examples in the millions of sporting competitions around the world isn't really a lot, but as you say the grifters highlight it.
 
Sadly, that South Park skit isn't actually that far fetched... It's happened.

Respect to Riley Gaines who has bravely and publicly campaigned against this nonsense.
