Trans-woman will still have the body type and hormones of a man, it would not be fair to the women who have worked for years and years to enter athletic tournaments/Olympics because a man who has worked the same will end up being stronger/faster than a woman. It’s not transphobic it basic biology. There should be a separate class for trans athletes.
@Daboss2o1Conservative 1yr1Y
Yes. no matter what anyone says, the average Olympic woman CANNOT beat the average male athlete. It is just simple biology. And the thing is, female athletes agree with this statement too!
I agree. As a biological woman it is upsetting to see that our gender has fought for the right to our own leagues and create our own teams to now have them taken over by biological males. It is even more upsetting when it takes away an achievement, award, or scholarship opportunity for a biological woman.
@9FX9RDV1yr1Y
Body types are diverse, sometimes by weight and build and other variables. I know women who could defeat cis men, I know trans men who could defeat trans women, I know trans women who could defeat cis men. Close the gap on gendered competitive sports and let's see who actually wins gold. Will cis men throw a fit if a trans man defeats them? Will it be considered more of a win if a cis woman defeats a trans woman? Who cares!
Transgender athletes grew up physically like other guys, imagine letting a Mike Tyson type fighter into a boxing ring with a female, that female is going to die.
@9YDC9YY2mos2MO
Not every trans woman is Mike Tyson. Some started puberty blockers at a young age, and never developed the muscle mass, lung capacity, etc. that is typical for males. There are also lots of men who are physically smaller, weaker, and slower than lots of women.
The reverse is true for trans men. Most transition too late to be competitive in men's sports, but someone who started taking testosterone early enough would have an unfair advantage against women in some sports.
@9KBGXJF10mos10MO
Would you say it would be fair if Lebron James, with the same body and athletic abilities was to have a gender changing surgery and play in the WNBA. Arguably the best basketball player of all time playing against less stronger, athletic, and smaller women basketball players. The same goes for any sport like powerlifting, where a male power lifter changing his gender and competing in women power lifting competitions. I would be completely un fair.
@B22X6362wks2W
No matter what, a biological male will always have more testosterone than a biological female. If we are going to allow transgender athletes into sports competitions, we may as well do away with the entire concept of separating genders in sports contests.
@9ZKGT67 1mo1MO
They should not be playing in their changed gender sports. It is not fair for anybody, they should play in their birth genders.
@9ZJGHC4New Democratic 1mo1MO
Trans people tend to have and equal, if not higher amount of the hormones that equate to cis people of the same gender, and the idea of separating them is just a thinly veiled way of saying that you don't want us to have the rights and opportunities as cis people.
@9VFDL8Q3mos3MO
Overall, it's because the balance of hormones between the two athletes would be incredibly uneven. . Naturally, a man will almost always be stronger than a woman physically, which is why they compete within the same sex, because the opponent has the same natural edge as the other.
@9VDHRJR3mos3MO
It wouldn't be fair to the women when a transgender male enters the competetion. An individual can also lie.
@9F76WFKConservative1yr1Y
Well men are genetically build stronger and taller so it’s not fair for biologically male athletes who are trans to compete against biologically females.
@9H2536D1yr1Y
A trans man should not be aloud to compete with women because it is not physically fair to the other female competitors and there is the possibility of the trans athlete raping other female athletes.

@9F9JGCB1yr1Y
There are many genetic differences between a male and females therefore they should be treated based on their birth sex to prevent having men rule all sports.
@9F94PNC1yr1Y
Extremely unfair as a sport is based on a players physical body not their mind and how they think and feel that they don’t fit in with their own gender.
@9F7WTX81yr1Y
A gender advantage should not participate in sports, as a man has more strength compared to women, even if the women is on any type of steroid or sport enhancement drug.
@9GH4VMJ1yr1Y
That it would not be fair for all of the competeters that have trained so hard in their sport only to have a transgender person interfering with what oyu've worked so hard to acheive. Like a transgender man to woman on a womans swim team, it would be fair because men just naturally have a stranger upper torso than women. Meaning they have an easier way to win.
@9GGXHVG1yr1Y
Trans women are still men regardless of what they identify as or dress like. Genetically they are male and have the characteristics and hormones that go along with that. Men’s and Women’s sports are separated because they have different body types and skills. It is not fair for men who naturally have larger bodies, more muscle, and less fat due to their genes, compete and win against women who are at the top of their field because they worked for it.
@9GGSFGV1yr1Y
It is unfair for women to see a grown man competing in women athelets logicly man has mroe strengh then women and more faster then women
@9GCNCZM1yr1Y
Trans athletes have are cheating becuse they have more testosterone which means more strength and ability
