Hello everyone,
I’m interested in gathering thoughts and perspectives, particularly from the trans community, regarding trans women’s participation in women’s sports. This is a topic that often sparks debate, and I want to understand the various viewpoints better.
My question is: What are your opinions on biologically male trans individuals competing in women’s sports? Do you think there should be separate categories for trans athletes, or should they compete in accordance with their gender identity? I am looking for thoughtful, respectful discussions, as my intention is not to discriminate but to understand the complexities of this issue better.
Thank you for sharing your insights!
I’m against it. Men and women are built differently. That’s the point.
You can’t take a pill, chop off some parts and be the other gender.
A men’s track and field Olympic gold medalist should not be able to then have his hormones suppressed then be able to compete in the women’s events. That does not undo all the development that occurred previously.
Teenagers are still developing, both mentally and physically. They should not be able to change either. A lot of things are happening and they don’t understand. The maturity needed to make such a decision is too big.
Could a white person identify as black? And vice versa? I see gender in a similar light.
