The development comes after a presentation to the International Olympic Committee by its medical chief, which highlighted the potential physical advantages of competing in women’s sport after being born male.

        So the effort trans women put in to compete doesn’t count for anything, people just decide to transition to win sporting events, and trans women are men with a different body. Wow, you really hit the trifecta of shit takes.

          Wow, those are quite the arguments I put forward in your head. I notice that you didn’t adress any of my questions about fairnes.

          If you want to have a conversation please answer my questions. If you just want to hiss and spit I’ll take a pass.

            There are no legitimate questions about the fairness of it:

            https://www.genderjustice.us/commentary/trans-athletes-are-not-the-real-threat/

            “In fact, after hormone therapy, trans women’s performance aligns with cisgender women’s performance.”

            The key bit there being “hormone therapy”.

            Your notion that men choose to compete as women so they can dominate is absolute, complete, 100% transphobic bullshit.

            That’s not the way ANY of this works.

            The real question to ask is why Republicans want to ban hormone therapy.

            Sorry, it’s not worth having baby’s first “what is a trans person” conversation with you, which would be clearly needed before delving into the nitty gritty. Take that pass! Go somewhere else.

              I’ve probably had trans friends since before you were born. Don’t lecture me.

              You don’t want to have the discussion of fairness because it’s hard and chanting slogans, organizing boycots, and labelling anyone who doesn’t agree with the group thought a transphobe is easy.

              If you want to have a converation, I’m here. If you just want to hiss and spit, I’ll pass.
