My niece is a competitive swimmer. If a trans woman kept her from winning the competitions she's trained so hard for, getting up at 4am for practice, spending weekends training or at meets, etc, thats absolute horse shit.

So if that trans woman also worked hard, got up at 4am for practice, and also spent weekends training and going to meets, she doesn't deserve to win after her own hard work?

Not at all in the women's league, no.

Men have a biological advantage in sports, there's no way around it. It's a fact

Does she deserve to win solely because she has the skeleton structure and muscle mass of a biological male from birth.

Is a cis male allowed to compete as a male if he takes the same drugs for 6 months? a year? ahead of the competition?
