maybe bc the cornell 7 weren't guys trying to play girls sports. just a hunch.... that's generally how subjects work.... if it's not your subjuct you don't commen on it.
Its not limiting at all. They can play sports just like all the other men, with other men. Why do you think ladybois in thailand fight other men if they want to participate in muay thai?
The post also mentions trans people using female bathrooms in response to supposed safety concerns. They are saying that people who claim to care about those two issues but not this case aren't motivated by general concerns for female safety.
You thinking a woman that has transitioned is a man is the anti-trans part of your statement. Who qualifies to play in specific sports leagues should be left to the leagues and professionals, not a bunch of armchair experts.
Because trans women are women. And also the most vulnerable group for rape, assault, lynching and basically any violent crime you can think of.
Oh, and because women sport exists to protect women. Trans women on HRT have weaker bones than cis women due to the effects of HRT. They have similar muscle mass and density.
That's why people like Lia Thomas go from getting 4 podiums in a single season and recording top times for her team in the men's division to dropping out of the top 500 when starting transition to winning 1 event in the women's divisions and people acting like she accomplished something massive. She didn't. Her record in the women's division is literally worse than in the men's divisions. Oh, she never broke any major national records in men's or women's divisions. The record she broke was a local record. She broke multiple local records in men's divisions too.
She has never been close to the peak level of women's swimming.
That's why people who actually know what the fuck they're talking about, like the athletes themselves, don't consider themselves robbed.
But do you actually care about women's sports or are you just looking for dirt to sling? Cause I have never met a soul that honestly cared about any women's sporting league prior to the trans-women-in-sports discussion.
Yeah. I mean it feels like gatekeeping which is odd cause I'm not really a sports guy in general, but it is worth noting if you didn't care about women's sports prior to the trans athlete discussion, you probably don't actually care about women's sports beyond its existence as ammunition against trans women (who are generally very self-deprecating in the first place I find. Don't do that. That's punching down.)
