Tbf af a 6’5 trans girl I would not feel okay if I played on the girls basketball team in highschool, I came out in college so it never was a situation but if I did come out in high school I would not feel okay trying to play as I would just have such an advantage at 6’5

We should ban people over 6 feet tall from playing basketball, they have an unfair biological advantage

It’s more about hatred of women than it is fairness or equality

No you have a point, as a 6’5 transfem I would not feel comfortable competing with my advantage

A sports league where there are height speed etc limits so people can compete on pure skill sounds cool Combat sports already do it

I don’t watch sports but if they did that I’d genuinely be a fan

Yeah I think that’s the case of your height is just an advantage tho. If you were a trans woman who was shorter it probably wouldn’t be an issue 🤷‍♂️ I’ve got tall cis women friends who don’t do sports bc they don’t feel comfortable either lol

The key difference here though is that you yourself don’t want to play, so you’re taking yourself out of the equation. The people banning trans women from sports takes that autonomy away It’s like how pro-choice means women should still be allowed to carry to term if they desire. Puts the choice in the hands of women, not legislators

Yeah but what if you did want to play? Those are the people who are experiencing this issue

That is a common argument for how to fairly set up sports leagues integrated by gender
