they have zero respect for women and laugh when female athletes are dehumanized, i don’t want to hear any one of these fuckers claim to care about women and women’s sports. trans athletes aren’t the problem at all and i am sick of them being used as a scapegoat when the real problem are the people who perpetuate and laugh at this.
So the truth is the claim that trans women have an innate advantage that makes it totally unfair for cis women even though that apparent “advantage” doesn’t manifest in results at all or is the truth the victim blaming that trans women wanting to play in sports is the reason why people hate trans people? Like what is the truth they’re speaking?
So this is comparing men to women not trans women to cis women. So you’re not looking at anyone who has undergone hrt and transition. The way you’re trying NY to say trans women are still just men is transphobic and also fails to answer the question if trans women who have undergone transition for enough time to have hormone levels in the same range as cis women in the respective sport but still have an “innate advantage” why aren’t trans women dominating all of these sports?
okay so eyes and proper research would tell you that one of the major long term effects of HRT is body composition changes, including redistribution of fat and muscle. do you know what happens when you are an athlete and you have a major body composition change? you have to relearn your entire new sport and how to play it with your new body. you go back to square one. you pray to god you improve to a competitive level again. HRT puts you at a literal disadvantage until YOU put in the work to -
- be successful again. it’s not as simple as sticking a biological man into a woman’s sport, one who has never once taken HRT and has no effects on their body. it does change you. it does change your skills. it can make you worse until you get better. this really isn’t hard to understand.
truth nuke right here, it’s not hard to remember how many guys think of women’s sports as a “joke” and then claim to want to protect it like they ever cared or payed attention when the news about it wasn’t political. trans athletes should always be welcomed with open arms, and we shouldn’t have to give in to the demands and whims of losers who don’t even care about women or women’s sports.
