Are chicks being dcks for not competing against trans athletes?

[OddBeMe]

Pulling out and sometimes outing trans athletes.

Also... according to the NCAA: transgender women’s athletes must submit documentation of their testosterone levels for at least the previous year to prove they do not exceed the “normal female reference range for their age group.”

Yes

No

I'm sure it's uncomfortable for some cis women to have this new idea of competing against trans women, just like it's uncomfortable for trans women to have to submit extra personal medical info and compete against some cis women who don't even respect them as human beings or think they are cheaters or perverts.

Ultimately both sides are pro athletes & will need to decide for themsel whether they are willing to follow the standard rules of their sports. That means cis people deciding whether to accept trans people as valid opponents as the rules state, and trans people deciding whether to submit to higher scrutiny and risk that the rules allow/require in order to compete.

You can never make everyone happy, you can never be perfectly fair, we can continue to improve but it's pointless to try to accommodate every individual cis or trans persons personal wishes for how the sport should be ruled.

There's no controversy about transmen competing in men's sports, in fact transmen still compete in women's sports, so is that?

[jshm2]

No more than men not willing to compete against trans men.

Drugs and cheating in sport are an ongoing battle. Allowing trans to compete in the male or female categories blows all that out the water.

Trans should have their own category - but no one will likely be interested.

It's not fair for girls in sports to dedicate their whole life to a sport, just to be dominated by some dude who couldn't make it against other men. Biological men should be banned from girl's and women's sports. I don't care what they call themselves or how they dress.

[Sevenpointfive]

no. if you aren't a chick or a dick and you are trans, then you need to compete with the trans athletes. you can't just claim a gender and voila.

[RavVid]

Yeah, they should be glad to advance the trans cause even if it means taking punches to their face.

[Berethor]

Why women should be competing against men? transwomen are not real women.

[talentedclock]

I will never cease to be amused that this is where women's lib has led us.

[DrPepper12]

Why is this so HARD for people?

Got born with a dick? Ur a dude. Go play with them.

Got born with a dick? IDGAF where you pee. Live n let live bro in a skirt.

[Jersey2]

Biological males should not be allowed to play on women’s teams. Period. (No pun intended).

[Anonymous]

Every single girl who competes in Womens sporting events needs to remain vigilant as to the true sex of their opponents. And then BOYCOTT playing against any person or team that has a person of the opposite sex on it. PERIOD.

An increase in testosterone levels makes it easier to increase muscles. Someone who has more testosterone could have an advantage

[Jamie05rhs]

This question deserves a gold medal just for the wording alone. Lol

[msc545]

No they should not have to do this. Totally unfair and wrong and dangerous.

[Anonymous]

No--transgender athletes (aka, sad dudes) are being pussies for trying to compete against girls.

[seeyounexttuesday]

Good for these women.

[noohair]

No way...
