If you didn’t hear, the Olympics have now banned trans women from female events. Do you think this is fair?

There has been one (yes, 1) trans woman in the olympics since they first were allowed to participate in 2004. She placed last. In weightlifting. Which people seem to think should be one of the prime examples of an unfair sport. There is zero reason for them to even consider changing the rule due to fairness on their own, it just has not mattered yet, they’ve caved to particularly loud politicians.

it really depends on the person, as a person who has taken hormone blockers since a pre-teen and taking e since 16 is a lot different than someone who has started e at 25.

they have threatened to genetically test all women, trans or cis. There are multiple cases of cis women having XY (aka intersex) this will disqualify them from playing any games. This is not fair

Anyone with at least one Y chromosome is a male whereas anyone with the absence of a Y chromosome is a female. Those with XY chromosomes who present as female likely have androgen insensitivity syndrome. They’re still male, but the body can’t respond to male hormones

This shouldn’t be getting downvoted and #3’s reply is absolutely asinine. The only thing I want to add is that we should also be talking about how this is unfair to trans women. A lot of people are using the talking point of like, how it will hurt cis women and ignoring that trans women are being targeted.
