I mean...I hate to say it, but I agree. Males, biologically, have an advantage, no? I always think of that Dave Chappelle special where he brings up LeBron. If LeBron decided he was a female, and competed in the WNBA, he'd absolutely dominate. It wouldn't really be fair.

LeBron wouldn't be able to just say "I'm a woman now" and be able to compete in the WNBA. This is what transphobes don't like people to know about.

The NCAA has had guidelines for trans athletes for a decade, and the olympics have for 2. If just being a male was actually that big of an advantage, we'd have trans women breaking all the world records, but there are like 3 world records held by trans women right now. But because there isn't we need to get upset at a trans woman breaking a world record, or coming 6th at the high school track meet.

The problem with people like Caitlin Jenner here is that this isn't an argument anyone is actually making. Nobody is saying that Kobe Bryant should be able to compete in the women's division just because he says he's female. Its more strawman bull**** while hoping that nobody actually bothers looking the topic up. And it works, since apparently nobody looks it up.
