My friend actually knows the girls on the team in the photo there. Apparently they have been having many other teams forfeit games against them because they have a trans woman on their team.
One of them is suing her. Crazy stuff.
Not a controversial opinion because bigotry isn't an opinion, simply wrong and transphobic
No, you're absolutely not, you're a wilfully ignorant liar, transphobe
Transgender Women Do Not Have an Advantage in Elite Sports
Transgender Athletes Could Be At A Physical Disadvantage, New Research Shows
Stop Using Phony Science to Justify Transphobia
So I skipped the first 2 articles u sent and went directly to the sources that those articles quote. Ur 3rd link has at the very top "This article was published in Scientific American’s former blog network and reflects the views of the author, not necessarily those of Scientific American" one persons opinion means jack shit so im gonna ignore it.
So let's just examine the conclusion of the first study
of similar size and height if we ignore the biggest effects then we have very little difference who would have thaught
This aknowleges that pre transition women defiantly have an advantage. Are u proposing that if a trans women is to compete in sports they must have undergone said transition process for at least 12months.
If u look at the graphs from the second study that has the various relevant performance metrics u will notice that the trans women are more simmillar to the cis men than they are to cis women. The raw data doesn't lie.
Because it isn't an "opinion" it's plain old bigotry.
Well u both got the mod on ur side. My sister plays sports and has competed against trans people and at least some of them have a significant advantage. The size and strength difference for teenagers can be significant especially in a high physicality sports.
Wow, so I guess I should be reporting all you transphobes to the admin then, since you clearly won't be doing shit about it.
Nothing tranphobic has been said. I'm in full support of all people trans included doing with themselves as they please in all regards.
OK mate, this is one too many red flags from your account. You can't recognize chauvinism, you jump to fight on hills about calling people nazis, you run interference for transphobes etc. At this point I don't believe you align with our instance values, so I think you need to move your comm somewhere else to avoid further strife.
