Basketball isn't a combat Sport.

Someone with higher testosterone levels will have an advantage in a combat Sport, that's just the truth.

I don't agree with the abuse that she's getting on the Internet as it isn't her fault, but she does have an advantage over her fellow competitors in the Welterweight division.

And I do acknowledge that she has lost fights tbf, it still doesn't change the fact that she has an unfair advantage over her opponents, it just means that the opponents that have beaten her are exceptionally good. @Ammi

I will agree with what someone said on Twitter, I can't believe that this topic is getting more discussion than a convicted Paedophile playing at the Olympics.

Because whilst I agree that she shouldn't really be facing off against other women personally, at least she isn't scum of the earth that didn't really face justice.

you can get pretty nastily injured in basketball though, if you get hit in the head by that ball

and yes, are all women basketball players trans then? because they are taller than other women

…there can be injuries in any sport, Nicky…but in terms of safety/risk assessments etc…combat sport has to be assessed with no ‘advantaged athlete’ taking part against another because it does involve that combat as the sport itself…
