For a rational minded person it’s hard to believe that there is even a debate about whether transgender athletes should be allowed to compete in women’s sports. The potential physical advantages (all else being equal) are impossible to deny. This issue has been highlighted by athletes like Lia Thomas, a transgender athlete, who is contributing to the destruction of women’s sports.
Transgender athletes should not be allowed to compete in women’s sports, period. There is a reason that we have Men’s sports and Women’s Sports in the first place. There are hormonal and physiological differences that make men and women DIFFERENT, so if you don’t want your daughter competing against a man you should not want her competing against a man who decided to call himself a woman.
For many years, women’s sports have been fighting for equal recognition and funding, and allowing transgender athletes to compete in women’s categories will undermine the much fought for progress. If you want to argue that hormonal changes do not fully eliminate the physical advantages that a transgender athlete may have, especially if they have undergone male puberty, then go ahead and create 3 categories so everything can be nice and “fair” – Men, Women and Other.
And you don’t need extensive research or a thick stack of scientific studies to know that transgender athletes have an unfair advantage over cisgender athletes … just take a look at Lia Thomas’ lats. So … to be clear we are not here discriminate for no reason, we are not trying to exclude people like Lia from brunch, or an afternoon book club … just from Women’s sports.
So Get Educated! Real women don’t have balls … now in patches and t-shirts.
Open your eyes and open your mouth – the Emperor is definitely naked!
