Let’s show those cis people how capable we are at losing!
A rare good news in sports!!
Why don’t the sports federations just make a new trans category? Instead of all these medical tests for years and other complicated things, make a new category. Instead of only one person playing, let 10 other trans people play.
Because trans people want to participate in the category of their gender and not be discriminated against and put in an extra category? When all data so far points to trans people not dominating their gender category in sports why would you separate them and forcibly out them? What would the category even look like? Trans men separate, trans woman separate, enbies separate depending on hormone configuration? Well now you got your medical tests back. It’s way easier to put them into the category of their gender where they can participate in a fair way. Most cases of the “evil trans women dominating x sport” is some kind of misinformation that even left leaning folks often fall for.
Example of Lia Thomas who was supposedly low end of men’s category and then won in women’s category. In reality she was very damn high in the men’s category before hrt, then very low in the men’s category on hrt (this is the point the misinformation classifies as her best in men’s category), then won one match and placed average in a lot of others in the women’s category (the one win is the point the misinformation makes out to be the norm instead of all the losses and average placements).
Trans want to participate in the category of their gender and not be discriminated, this tramples the rights of bio women in a lot of physical sports, this is why some people have issues with this, it’s downright unfair, I’m all for gay and trans rights and voted for marriage equality in my country but when a weightlifter makes a mockery of bio women’s records it just ruins the sport.
It would be much better overall to not group people by sex but instead group them by competitiveness. Like weight classes in boxing, sport competitions should use other measures to decide who competes against who.
If conservatives are right, I can safely bet my entire life savings on them becoming world champions now.
