No one said that.

I do think a male athlete has some horomonal, bone structure, limb length and muscle mass advantages over born-female athletes in many sports, and that while time and horomone therapy do decrease that advantage for a trans female, its still there to some degree afterward, which probably makes sports in the female category for trans women unequal. Athleticism means a lot to a lot of people. for some people its a deep part of their identity, just like gender is. Is that peice of these womens identity not worth cherishing? Is it something for you to dictate terms about? I dont think it is.

Its not a simple problem with any sort of simple solution. It seems that with the choices given, Either we make a new athletic category, or some group of people live with an unfairness of one sort or another. And the sooner its figured out, ,the sooner it stops being a political football. Letting it linger just serves the far right. is that what you actually want?

Why has this issue not already been sorted?

OK, but can you please tell me why its “shit”?

is it that you think its incorrect? I see stuff like this NIH study below specifically about atheletic performance in a transgender population at time of transition and after a period of performance change and it doesnt match whats presented in the links people replied with-- but heres the problem, I trust the NIH study more than I trust the arguments given in such a vehement and angry way in the other links. I have no real skin in this game. I beleive everyone has soveriegnty over their own body and if it doesn’t very explicitely hurt me or another person, I say live your best life.

“post gender affirming hormone therapy, trans women still surpassed cis women for their 1.5 mile run time (765 ± 39.83 s. vs. 855 ± 40.56 s.), but performed significantly slower than cis men (720 ± 40.56 s.) unlike their pre hormone therapy assessment”

So why is this study wrong? thats a 90 second on average run advantage on a 1.5 mile course. In sports thats a lot.

I dont think that comment should have been removed. Is asking the question forbidden? Is it not an issue anyone cares about?

Oh yeah, I saw her-- She was “single and in my area”, so OP and I must be neighbors. Hey Neighbor.

If they want to bring him back for a few seconds and then instantly eliminate him in some painful way, I’d pay for that. But lets keep the Shatner acting to an absolute minimum, please. Maybe he can be in a shuttle with Van Damme and Steven Segal that gets depressurized and ripped apart by some alien creature in the first few seconds of the movie.
