Okay honest question. I have no idea what the truth here is, so please dont come at me.
There was this whole thing with a trans woman mma fighter, who won big or something. People said it was unfair.
Was it? Wasn’t it?
back when, i guess it made sense for me. I am all for people being who they are, but not participating in punching each other in the faces seemed like a fair compromise, i thought.
The John Oliver video goes through your concerns and talks about how:
a. most trans athletes haven’t been winning big, ppl with an agenda have been twisting facts to make it seem like they have.
b. a blanket ban is not the answer, but each sport competition making their own rules based on how many years of hrt the athlete has been on, how much of a difference sex makes for that sport, etc. Which is what was happening for years.
c. There are much bigger and more common issues with women’s sports that we need to address like coaches assaulting athletes, lack of resources compared to male teams, etc. And the same ppl claiming to protect women’s sports by banning trans athletes are voting against measures to fix these issues.
A whole lot of this BS is based on the idea the women are physically inferior to men.
The truth is that when you account for muscle mass/body fat ratios and height, that benefit goes away almost entirely. Men (or more accurately, people with more testosterone) add muscle mass quicker, and will see better results from exercise. Women (or people with less testosterone) can get the same results, but it takes more time.
If you think that all women are inferior to any man (throw back to trump saying he could beat a female swimmer to her face) I’d welcome to you watch the vid where some dipshit bro tried that same thing on Rhonda Rousey.

That makes a whole lot of sense.
I am generally against “across the board” rules, as it often hurts more people than they benefit. Making individual rules for each sport makes sense.
Also yes, do something about judges raping athletes, like wtf?
Also a lot of the cases actually reported were sports where gender doesn’t confer and advantage either way, like disc golf.
