Transgender Issues: Who Should Compete In Women's Sports?
I really hate this topic cause I don't know were I stand. A biological man is stronger/faster naturally than a biological woman, giving a trans woman an unfair advantage. This shouldn't prevent them from doing sports, but do we put them with men or women? And making a trans sports would be ridiculous. There is too much to consider, and its too much to give an answer that would be beneficial.
This summer we will (probably) have the Tokyo Summer Olympics. Laurel Hubbard will be competing for New Zealand in weight lifting. She used to compete in weightlifting as Gavin Hubbard. Hubbard set men's junior records in New Zealand in categories: snatch 135 kg, clean & jerk 170 kg, total 300 kg. I can only imagine how the other competitors, women who trained all their lives to get the maximum out of their bodies, feel to go up against someone who grew so much bigger and stronger because of their biology.

My problem is some trans women think it's okay to compete against women. Knowing fully they have an advantage and will win. They argue it's unfair for them to not be able to compete with other biological women. When in all reality it is unfair to the biological women. I just don't understand how they don't see that. They know they just don't care and that is just wrong. I'm not trying to upset anyone. Just stating facts and hope trans people realize we aren't shutting them out. We just don't want it to be unfair. Yet I think they like to make it out like we are being prejudice. But that's just not true at all. It's specifically about fairness.

If allowed to compete, eventually it will be all trans and no biological females. Am i wrong
Obviously transgender female is female. There’s no question about that. The big issue is in the winnings and titles etc. A person who came into this world as a male, at birth, will have a distinct strength and cardio advantage over a person born female (hence the reason for gender divided sports). The fastest female born woman will never beat the fastest male born male. Transgender does not hinder the male born gifts. So if your transgender female child who is now female runs track and is not top 10 for her school then no harm no foul. If a male born female is one of the fastest Runners out there, then now it’s a definite issue for fairness. This person if competing in male sports would have a run for their money. But if they run under female they sweep all the prizes without a challenge. The prizes for winning races are a lot of money. That’s where fairness is at question.
So the culture demands that people can choose their gender, and everyone is a awful jerk if they disagree with that. Except for sports. In sports we have to recognize that men can't really be women and women can't really be men. So make up your minds you weirdos. I'm going with basic science.
I know I'm late to this but I'm pretty sure trans people have to have a certain amount of the hormone they're taking to compete against/with people that are their gender. E.g a trans woman has to have a certain amount of estrogen to compete against/with other women
isn't that what taking hormones helps with?? I'm a little bit confused on this topic, could someone enlighten me?
I'm kinda confused at this topic. Because they say. Men and women have a big differences but they want to have an equal rights in sports because they can do what the man can do too??
Are you really that confused? Or are you just not interested in thinking about what "equal rights" really means? Honestly - I'd prefer if they would simply compete against each other, no gender-separation. Make mixed-teams for team-sports, let women battle against men in tennis, hockey, golf.... See where it gets everyone.

Sports are meant to be for fun, EVERYONE should be able to take part 🙁
Physiologically how do you support men in womens' sports? Arre you suggesting hormone blockers for teenage athletes?

Why would you give these women a huge advantage over other women by allowing them to compete against them in sports?
