no there is not. as a sports player myself, there are stronger and taller women on my team, who can overpower me. i don’t let that get me down and just acknowledge some of us are different. also winning isn’t everything

And how old are you?

why is this relevant.

Children know little to nothing about the world. Their understanding is limited about even what they perceive they know. Their brains aren’t developed enough to understand what they are experiencing. You’ll understand when you get older.

first of all, i’m not very young, and there are many adults who have enlightened me on this subject

Those aren’t the only reasons. The higher in athletics you go, the larger the divide between men and women become. In elementary school, the baseball teams were all mixed and it didn’t matter. In high school, girls would have been demolished. In college, girls stand even less of a chance. At a professional level, the 700th ranked tennis player was better than the number 1 ranked woman. The higher up the athletic ladder you climb, the greater the divide between sexes.

I asked how old you were to judge this. You could also just not be an athletic person. I don’t know you and it’s anecdotal.

i am an athletic person, i just play a different position than the bigger, taller girls on my team. also, my team has never scrimmaged against the mens team, but a different womens team played against boys their same age and won!

and also, what do you suggest for trans people? they can’t control being trans, so why should they not be able to engage in “normal” things such as playing sports

They should. With their birth genders. Or have a separate third league that’s open to all.

if this trans athlete does suffer from gender dysphoria, playing in a league with cis males could be very harmful for them. there are just not that many trans athletes and i think a league would be pointless

Open to all. Not open to only trans. Your feelings do not outweigh the rights of women. I don’t understand why this purely narcissistic view isn’t challenged more often on the basis of selfishness. Why do you believe trans people should be held above others in this way? The invasion of men in womens sports isn’t fair to women. The womens bench press record could be doubled tomorrow if a male professional strongman transitioned.

i don’t believe so. i think they should be held to the same as cis women. i am going to leave this chat to do other stuff, but thanks for talking with me about this! 🤍
