I'm willing to admit that I'm not informed on the topic, but I don't think you and OP are either. My main issue is how you guys are claiming that trans women have a definite athletic advantage over cis women. It seems like articles like the one this thread is about gets attention to push that narrative. That's why I asked if you're presented with statistics that proves the contrary, is your opinion changing. If trans women who compete with cis women are winning close to 50% of the time and losing close to 50% of the time, that's just sports

"In addition, Seplavy said post-transition training is that much more difficult.
“A lot of people don’t realize how hard it is to athletically train when you’re on hormones,” she said. “As my coach said, I’m anti-doping. I’m putting chemicals in my body that actually detract from athletic performance.”
I don't think it's as clear cut as you guys believe
What discourse is there to be had? Someone posted a link of trans-athletes sharing their experiences and you dismiss it as "the exception, not the rule" when you don't even know that trans women are automatically more athletic than cis women is the rule. Nobody's opinion would be changed by this thread. Idk what else you could hope to achieve by making it
Yes we do know trans women are more athletic and stronger than women because they went through puberty as men, that is being proven in weightlifting, swimming, cycling, track events time and time again the discourse I wanted to have was surrounding how a competitive league that looks at the science of transitioning and the hormones involved to come up with the best compromise that allows women to be able to compete and trans people to also have a platform to compete: which is the thought process many athletes in the media are also aligned with. You can try and paint me as having a bigoted agenda but I don’t, I’m just critiquing the situation. Edit: I’ll add that ima leave this here, I try and discuss this topic with good intentions but once again it becomes an accusation exercise.
they said the same thing about Jesse Owens ya know...that it was unfair.
There was a Track federation that required hormone testing in hopes of preventing Trans people from running.
3 cisgendered black women were banned. Just like people said would happen

Provide evidence of trans women competing against cis women in those activities and outperforming them "time and time again"? Because that's the main issue I have with what you're saying, like it's an objective fact that they're more athletic. If you can provide me with that, then I'll agree that trans women shouldn't be competing with cis women. Because right now I don't know and I think you haven't seen data to know that either, other than a few stories like this one that inevitably makes headlines to push a narrative

Look around, stay low, make sure they don't see you
Catch 'em bad, walk down, face 'em with that heater

I don’t really get the complaining man
Women are all for it. Let them get driven out of their own leagues, who cares
Women are all for it? Ehhhhh that‘s not true at all
Women aren’t all for it bro do you read the news and the feeling coming from professional female athletes?
It wouldn’t happen on the flip though as trans women physically can’t compete that’s the issue.
Your thread quickly
Turned from “I just wanna have a discussion” to transphobia. Also, this is wrong. In multiple instances

Obviously it’s a generalization but I do find way more often than not, it’s men who are most upset about this which is ironic because men routinely s*** on women’s sports all the time.
You’ll genuinely find a lot of women in the real world who think there’s no competitive advantage between men and women and so have the delusion that women can hang with trans athletes
Pop Warner is a league with like 3% of kids in any age group for football but it's a league right?
Lmaooooo no way youre this stupid
How difficult is it to make trans men/women only divisions in sports, just get it done and over with now
Oh no brother what have you said - they will come and ban you from this platform.

That would mean they aren’t “real” women which no one but the right wing would support
Crazy how that one South Park episode predicted the future again
That wasn’t the future

You know anything else about this story? I’ve never heard of it
