I don't care if you disagree with me about this topic. Transgender athletes have every right to compete in sports just like a cis athlete. Many people have this mindset about transgender women athletes because they switch gender to cheat. How? Transgender women athletes are still women. They don't switch gender to cheat in sports. I just which people can be open and accepted about transgender athletes.

Re: My Truth About Transgender Athletes
No matter what I think that it is good to see that people are accepting transgender people in sports. Transgender is still such a hot topic among many which I don't think it should be. If you feel like you are another gender then you have the right to change sexes and not be judged. So I think it is great that transgendered people can participate in sports.Anubisa

Re: My Truth About Transgender Athletes
I wonder why people imagine than mtf trans are stronger? Or why it would be a problem if some were? It's uncommon for trans people to compete in sports, and even less common for them to win. When they do, it's because they have some particular attribute or constellation of attributes that is very specifically beneficial to the event they're competing in. The past presence of peen not being one of them, as far as I'm aware. This is the same for any competitive cis.
Michael Phelps was built to swim. I'm not. Ronda Rousey would mercilessly destroy me in MMA - even though I'm a trained combatant. That's -before- any comment on the outcome of the physically debilitating process of gender reassignment. Hey, let's look at weightlifting. A trans lifter named Laurel Hubbard has been in and out of news over the past few years. She's crushed it a couple of times in NZ. That sounds impressive and, on the face of it might seem to confirm those strange ideas we have about trans people and sports......until we realize that she crushed it in NZ, with 280kg totals, at best (but usually less).
A cis female by the name of Li Wenwen pulls 332kgs regularly.

Re: My Truth About Transgender Athletes
Sure, but I'm wondering why.
At every point down the rabbit hole it just gets stranger. We could imagine, for example, that Ms. Wenwen was taking performance enhancing drugs. Yes, she's a cis female, but the presence of these substances directly correlates with performance...and generally correlates with biological sex. Perhaps, knowing more now about performance than before, we might realize that our boys division/girls division was simplistic, and didn't reflect the full realities of human biological potential. Maybe we should have testosterone divisions?
Wouldn't that confirm our strange ideas about trans people and sports..also? Well, no. Trans athletes have consistently lower levels of testosterone than their cisgendered peers. That's one of the effects of the medication schedule, and it's a feature - not a bug. Trans athletes have voluntarily signed up for a competitive disadvantage. The performance gap between mtf trans and cis male is greater than the performance gap between cis female and cis male.Last edited by Rhythm; 12 Dec 2019, 06:23.
