Probably will be downvoted into oblivion but I’m going to disagree with you. The trans argument is a separate one but having some sex separated sports absolutely makes sense. There are undeniable biological differences physically between biological males and females. Height and weight class would make 0 sense because bone and muscle density is still different, and distributed differently as an aggregate. I think most people who say this stuff don’t actually play sports.
I think people who say things like this don't actually know any post- or even mid-transition people.
I don’t think you actually read my comment fully or you would know that I wasn’t talking about trans athletes at all really. Respectfully read carefully before having a knee jerk reaction. Also for the record (although the I have {insert marginalized group here} friends card is stupid) one of my closest friends in college who was alsomy roommate was trans…
"Biological males and females" are words that, right or wrong, have flown forth along with a great deal of spittle from the mouth of a transphobe in an effort to strip even more rights from trans people. After all, are trans people not biological? Biological women and synthetic women?
Dumb
You're gonna be downvoted because you've put zero thought or effort into your argument. There are undeniable physical differences between humans regardless of dominant sex hormone, separating sports by gender necessarily forces members of both groups to compete against people that they don't have a snowball's chance in hell of beating. Tall women have a massive advantage over short men and short women, the smart thing to do is let people compete with other people that are actually physically comparable. Tiny men vs tiny women is fair, giant women vs giant men is fair. The bone/muscle density thing is bullshit, simple as.
Do you have a source about the bone/muscle density thing being bullshit?
I noticed you told another commentor "anything is possible when you make shit up" so we really should be backing things we say up with sources in that case, right?
Do you have a source for it being true? Nobody else here does
Yes in provided you multiple sources in other comments.
I notice you haven't provided a SINGLE ONE.
You want a source proving that women can compete with comparably sized men? Here, cry about it
Ah yes a highly trained professional athlete beating up a guy who drinks and does drugs for the entire series.
This makes all the scientific papers cited not true?
Also I love how "that study is only 16 people you MORON! Here's a source form a show called jackass with TWO people"
The second half of that really sounds like a kink thing.
Weird thing to say/think
