A lot of these women Sports are really young, and the fact that biological women were disadvantaged at winning their own events because biological men were taking part against them, is imo bad for women's Sports, and deeply unfair to the female athletes.

Hopefully the Trans competitors will get placed where they're able to compete more evenly against each other in Sports, because I don't want them to be unable to participate entirely, just don't have them compete against the women.

And speaking for myself, I did feel uncomfortable at Boxing/Martial Arts events having biological males beating up women in matches, call me old fashioned or Transphobic all you want, but that never really sat well with me.

Good luck to the Trans participants in Sports in the future, but hopefully where I can actually enjoy their presence in the Sport, rather than having negative feelings about their presence within Sport.

I hope people understand what I'm trying to say, as I know I can come across as harsh when it comes to topics like this, but I really am trying to articulate this the best of my ability.

Unfortunately Mock you will be called transphobic for those views, but I think the tide is turning and there is more nuanced discussion around the whole topic, in some ways I think it had to happen....i.e transwomen participating n womens sports to show how unfair it is to women, I read a stat somewhere that there were 50 transwomen competing in a womens road race think it was in Mexico, if there are that many then they can easily have their own category to compete, just like disability sports, and no I am not saying being a transwoman is a disability, what I am saying is disabled people have their own category so they are not disdvantaged by able bodied sports people, so there is no reason for transmen and transwomen not to have their own categories so they can compete against each other though I am not sure there are that many transmen in elite sport
