    If sporting bodies/scientists etc can find ways of managing the situation so it is proven to be fair then great (the paralympics have various categories for instance, off the top of my head why can’t other sports?), but until then this insistence upon something that in many instances isn’t fair in a sporting sense creates a wedge issue right wing types can and do exploit because the average sports fan

    The vicious irony here is that the limited science there was, did show that trans folk competing with cis folk of the same gender either had no advantage, or the advantage was too small to identify without further study. Study that was impossible due to the very small number of trans folk actively in involved in sports to begin with.

    Yet despite that, the right wing types created a wedge, and folk like you jumped on board

    How they think rather than what they think. I recognised it in myself and have really tried to get passed it.

    Then I’m genuinely asking you to do so here as well. For me, I’m trans, I used to be a semi elite runner, and a roller derby player. I’ve ran with men and women, and I’ve played roller derby with men and women. I also know the science around trans folk in sports. So I’ve lived this, experiencing it first hand, as well as having a very strong personal interest in following the science.

    You are wrong on this.

      Absolutley not.

      My sister is a national champion at her fight sport, something I also took part in and happened to fight a female world champion (in training) at.

      The sciencer is unequivocal.

      You are deluding yourself and you are causing people to simply say trans people are unreasonable.

      That is on you and your type.

      Well fucking done.
