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!

    The only advantage that remains is greater speed, due to the greater height gained from undergoing a male puberty.

    Solution: puberty blockers

      For those fortunate enough to have had access to them young enough. I don’t think we should ban trans people from sport unless they did.

        To be clear, I only brought this up in case anyone runs into an upset person complaining about some combination of the existence of trans minors or trans athletes
