So they should go for it and if it’s like a clear difference. Idk. Address it then.

This is what's happening, and this is why trans women are being banned from competing in womens sports more and more the world over. Watching a alleged man beat up women with ease in the olympic boxing seems to have been the tipping point for most people that were still on the fence.

after enough time at typical female hormone levels muscle mass generally decrease to be inline with cis women.

Muscle mass != strength though. Also someone that is physically larger isn't going to have their muscle mass shrink to that of someone that is a foot shorter.

but conceivably there are sports where transmen might be at an advantage, where a typically lighter smaller frame may be a win.

The complete abscense of trans men in male sports competitions says this isn't a thing.

There are also so few trans people competing at a competitive level that as someone who lives outside the american culture wars and tends not to give a shit about sport, it always seems like an such a waste of effort to make a drama out of it

"Drama" needs to be made out of it before it becomes the norm, and by "drama" I mean it needs to be assessed properly based on science, biology, and reality and have a decision reached for the future. Make no mistake - if trans women are allowed to compete with women in professional sport, and even at a high school level, eventually it will be just all trans women in the womens divisions with no "cis" women with the rate at which people are coming out as trans.

We play sports for fun. Let whoever organizes the event decide.

This completely ignores competitive sport.

Women actually aren’t as inferior to men as you seem to think.

Physically yes, they are. This isn't new or controversial. It is the entire reason why we have womens categories in sports in the first place. There are countless videos and stories of things like the USA womens olympic soccer team playing against boys high school soccer teams and getting thrashed. Not just losing, oh no - getting annihilated......by high school boys. Any average boys high school basketball team would win the WNBA championship without losing a single match. The worst college male college basketball player would win the MVP of the WNBA unanimously (if the judges were fair of course, which we know they're not since someone voted for Angel Reese as the rookie of the year lol).

You pick any female athlete. I’ll challenge her at her preferred sport, and I’ll bet against myself 99/100 times.

That says more about you than anything else. I would absolutely beat many olympic womens athletes at their sports with the minimal training I've done, because well we can see how fast they are, how much they can lift, etc - and their records and performances are way behind the mens, and I would bet my life savings on me beating them.

For example, in the USA in 2024 alone, the 10 fastest high school boys 100m sprinters ran faster than the Womens Olympic gold medalist from 2024 (https://trackandfieldnews.com/2024-high-school-boys-absolute-top-10-lists/, https://www.olympics.com/en/olympic-games/paris-2024/results/athletics/women-100m ). Not by a tiny amount either - the 10th fastest male high school athlete was half a second faster than the womens gold medal winner lol. I don't know if you know much about athletics, but half a second in the 100m sprint is an eternity. It's bigger than the gap between 1st and last almost all of the time.

There are just so many examples. Back in their prime, Serena and Venus Williams both played a set of tennis against the 206th (iirc, he was just over 200) ranked male tennis player. He smoked in between points. He played them back to back. He beat them both without raising a sweat, I think it was 6-0 against one and 6-1 against the other. Each set only took like 15 minutes because they could barely even get to his serve to return it. At the time the Williams sisters both said something along the lines of womens and mens tennis basically being completely different sports because of the performance gulf between them.

What it’s really doing is dehumanizing people.

No it's not. Accepting that there are differences between sexes is just accepting reality.

How would you feel if you tried out for a team and they said YOU had to play on the other genders team?

Sports aren't based on gender, they're based on sex due to all of the reasons listed above. Gender is irrelevant since it's just an "identity", a feeling.

But many, many short men have competed in the NBA and other basketball competitions to great success.

Did you know that there is no rule saying that the NBA is male-only? Women can play in the NBA. Why do you think there has never been a single female NBA player?

The best examples you will ever see of why people should only compete in sports against people of their sex are when there have been mixed competitions. Lets take the recent olympics for example.

In the swimming they had a mixed medley relay event. 2 males, 2 females on each team. In the first leg of the final, backstroke, 4 teams chose a male to swim and 4 chose a female. Can you guess which 4 are the females?

Let's head over to athletics!

Woman in the lead on the last leg by probably 50m over 2nd, probably another 50m over 3/4/5.

She finished 5th.

One person had said If we are banning people who were born with a penis from women’s sports because they were born with an unfair advantage over other competitors, why aren’t we banning people over 6.5’ tall from the NBA?

Because womens sport divisions and leagues were specifically created because women physically cannot compete at the same level as men. Biologically they're built differently - they're not as strong, as fast, as tall, etc.

What you're saying is "why even have womens divisions at all?". If that's what you want then fair enough, but just know that it basically eliminates female athletes altogether apart from a few select sports like gymnastics.

No one is calling to BAN trans people from sport - just to have them compete with others of their SEX, not their self identified "gender identity". That's not a "hate crime", that's just fairness in sport.

The only exception to this is IMO ones that (I like)

Oh are we just making up quotes now? Fun! Why did you say this?

Because, again, it is about managing risk of turning into a newt.

No one is at risk of turning into a newt, witches aren't real! You silly billy!

If we stick to just what people actually said though, you'd see that I said that the ones you can trust to not keep logs and as such actually keep you safe from tracking are who you should use.

If you don’t trust the VPN you use then why do you even use a VPN?

Again - no one is doing any “stanning”. I never said don’t take precautions. One precaution is to thoroughly investigate the VPN company that you choose to use. The entire point of PIA is privacy. If they started lying not only would they get sued beyond belief, but they wouldn’t exist anymore.

That’s called a conspiracy theory kids.
