I suppose it's down to Mother Nature, ( basically) There’ll always be the odd exception to the rule, imagine if our brilliant lionesses ( football ) team played against the mens team, or Rugby, cricket etc, I'm not a gambling person but I'd bet my house on the men to absolutely thrash the ladies
Trans women are women. Reasons are here as is the standard debate. bsky.app/profile/brap...
100% agree, but there are generic differences which at this present time medical intervention isn't able rectify.
Like there are for East Africans at distance? Or West Africans at sprinting?
Sorry Dont understand this logic in this discussion
If we are banning women who take every step to level the playing field but still have some genetic advantage, then why doesn’t that apply to other sports where groups of people have a genetic advantage?
Didn't say banning from all sports Just professional one’s where an athlete will have maximised their physical capability. there will always be advantages in sports that's why they have weight divisions in combat sports,
Exactly. There are means of balancing out advantage without excluding whole groups. And we already tolerate some group’s genetic advantages.
In this case How would you ever let a top male football team play their equivalent in the female game .
You wouldn’t and no one is suggesting that. But with testosterone blockers you could have teams with trans women that met existing tolerance to genetic difference. Because trans women are women.
Notice also - TERFs and other transphobes (not aimed at you) object to trans women on testosterone blockers participating in sport because of male puberty, but also object to puberty blockers…
Blockers only work on about 30% of testosterone, so I've read .
