What you're describing would very, very quickly end up with essentially what we have now - mens and womens sports. The men would be in all the top ones, and the women would all be in the bottom ones, with the trans women at the top of the womens ones at the lowest, with many much higher since they have the physical ability to compete with men.

Did you know that there is no rule stating that all NBA players have to be male? Same with the NFL. Same with the NHL. Same with almost every professional sporting competition in the world that is thought to be a "male" competition. When you understand why you've never seen a single female compete in any of those competitions, and notice that some of those have their own separate "female only" competitions, maybe you'll have a lightbulb moment.

Yet here you are, thinking about it and telling people off.

Believe it or not, human beings can think about and care about lots of different things concurrently.

It's John Oliver, a "progressive" shill (who is supposed to be a comedian lol) who is just a propaganda mouthpiece. If I posted a video of Joe Rogan talking about trans women and all the physical advantages they retain forever would you watch it and think it's a good source? Somehow I don't think so. Being "clear and concise" doesn't change the fact that he's a biased bullshit artist.

After 2 years HRT, any advantages a trans woman may have had are statistically gone.

Does HRT shrink your height? Reduce your lung capacity? Shrink your arms? Change your bone structure? Muscle density?

Nope! Does none of that, and those are only 4 of the obvious differences between men and women that give men physical advantages.

You guys don't seem to understand that the effects of testosterone and other things don't just disappear when you no longer produce testosterone. If you give a 25 year old man testosterone blockers, does he shrink and revert back to a 10 year old boys size and physical stature? No.

It’s obvious you don’t actually have a researched opinion since you just used the wrong term for a trans woman (they said trans men, in case they edit it).

Where?

edit: oh I see, you think that because I said this:

You don’t see how this is a problem with trans men competing against women?

It invalidates my entire opinion? Replace "men" with "women" since it's clear what I'm talking about, as I have used the term trans women to refer to MtF trans people many, many times in these comments. Come on mate, grow up.

You seem to, once again, be ignoring that on top of the decrease from transitioning, they are still a human being, and thus age and practice like any other human being. From sophomore year to their redshirt senior year, they grew, trained, etc. like any athlete. Expecting them to just drop 15% or whatever from their sophomore time and never improve from that is completely idiotic.

I didn't ignore any of that lol. You're missing the point. Again - 500th ranked male time is faster than all female times. Post "transition", still faster than all females. Went from a "bad" mens swimmer to the best womens swimmer while swimming basically the same times as pre-transition. There's nothing to say that even if Lia didn't "transition" that he would have improved his times.

You unironically posted John Oliver and expected people to take it seriously lol

Who has the energy to care? assuming you’re a seppo, your country has a shit tonne more to worry about than how good someone’s chromosomes make them at putting a hockey stick in a basket from the other end of the pool

Yet here you are, caring.

Not american, and that is a pathetic way to try and kill a discussion. Just because something more important might be happening everything else should be ignored?

As long as it doesn't break any laws, sure, they can do what they want. Unfortunately for trans women who want to compete in the womens sports, there are protections for sex-specific places and things.

First, everybody should take note of the fact that you still haven’t provided a source showing that trans women have any sort of across-the-board competitive advantage over cis women in sport. I can only presume that’s because you don’t have any. Pathetic. Moving on.

Trans women are males. Males have across-the-board competitive advantages over women. This is the entire reason why womens sports exists lol.

The average male is taller, stronger, faster, has higher lung capacity, longer wingpan, better hand-eye coordination, and a million other things than the average woman. None of these things are affected at all by "transitioning" to be a trans woman. Not a single one.

Someone can have a Y chromosome, but lacking the SRY gene will develop a female phenotype.

Phenotype's do not determine sex. Again - chromosomes do. If you have a Y chromosome, you are a male and always will be a male. You do not seem to understand the difference between biological sex and characteristics that are usually associated with a specific sex.
