'I didn't transition for an advantage
It doesn't matter what the reason was, you have one as a biological male Absolute travesty if Lia is allowed to compete at the Olympics. Female competitors need to stand together and boycott these competitions if they want a fair competition back again

Of course they will win, if they're racing against women.
Ridiculous that males should be allowed to compete against women in the Olympics... |

If you want to see the biological advantage, no words describe it more than this picture does

There should be a trans category in the Olympics and big sporting events

Just allow them to participate in their actual sex category. Fairer all round. |

Quite right too - men and women shouldn't compete against each other.

I understand the argument about having trans athletes compete against each other separately, but it wont happen because there aren't enough trans people competing. It's a business too, and the demand for seeing a few trans athletes compete wont be there.
I can only see this working 2 ways - Just accept the absolute fact a biological male has a physical advantage over a biological woman and not allow them to compete. Or the other potential alternative - Work out a handicap for the Trans athlete, maybe staring with a + time or something. I dunno how it could work, but as it stands it's just so unfair on biological women athletes. Logically, this whole thing is a complete mess. As for combat sports, it should be a firm NO, no matter what. Other sports there's probably some wiggle room.

The only sports they should ever consider mixing are the ones that are purely skill-based and have no strength/speed/stamina element involved.

But again, my opinion is probably too harsh for some people, but i genuinely think trans women need to be told it's "tough ****" and that the advantage they have over biological women isn't fair and they're not allowed to compete. As "women" you'd think they'd understand that.
