Watch the woke brigade get their nickers/underpants in a twist over this!

Do not presume to tell me what I should post. I have consistently stated over numerous threads discussing Transgender athletes that sports governing bodies need to deal with this and that the correct way to do do is apply competitor classifications. No need for hysteria or moral outrage, simply add some new competitor classifications to accommodate new developments. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post CG1 Blue Posted March 24, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted March 24, 2023 A (passionately woke) female friend of mine was raging on FB about this news last night. She asked why they haven't also banned FTM (female to male) trans people from competing in men's sport. That's because women who transition to men don't suddenly start winning all the medals and breaking men's world records. Which in fact highlights the unfairness of trans women competing in women's sport even more. 4 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is up to the governing bodies to decide how these situations should be handled. Why not catagorize by sex chromosomes? XY you compete as male; XX you compete as female? Seems simple enough.

TKDfella Posted March 24, 2023 Share Posted March 24, 2023 The only way out of this is to create different categories. Sponsors? Well I would have thought there will be enough support for the 'trans' group who will be willing to to pay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are getting offended by what wasn’t. I'm offended that they allowed trans women to compete in women's sport in the first place, and I expect those women who were beaten by trans women having dedicated their lives to the sport would feel absolutely livid. The governing body came to the right decision this week, but they should have reached this conclusion BEFORE any trans athletes were allowed to ruin the careers of female athletes. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see now the basis for your foolish statements. You have, at best, a 9th grade level of understanding of biology. Most average high school students would know you are wrong, and any 18-year old who has passed a course in A-level Cambridge biology would rip your arguments to shreds. Get some facts in your head before you let your mouth loose again. A CYP21A2 deletion or mutation, which causes congenital adrenal hyperplasia in an XX human results in a female with male secondary sexual characteristics. Also, the mere presence of a Y-chromosome does NOT insure a male gender. From what I remember, there are at least 3 conditions under which XY humans are classed at birth as females. 5 hours ago, Jaybott said: Who said anything about testosterone levels? The argument for excluding trans-females is that the increased musculature and endurance bestowed by TESTOSTERONE makes it unfair to cis-females. Yet some females have testosterone levels as high as males. Hence, saying trans-females should be excluded ON THAT BASIS does not hold water unless you also exclude those females with a high titer of testosterone. Do you have another basis for your beliefs or are you just transphobic? Edited March 27, 2023 by Peabody 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
