Could have sworn there were other transgender Olympic athletes before but I guess I was confusing it with people who transitioned after they retired from competing.

Yeah, this is BS.
It's one thing to advocate preferred bathrooms and other things for common decency. But google this person and tell me with a straight face that this is fair.

that would make the most sense, but that is not what trans athletes want. they want to participate in those events THEY want to, not what someone else wants them to. By this logic, a 300lb+ professional MMA fighter should be allowed to enter the UFC Featherweight division because he wants to.

It's transphobic to want a blanket ban on trans athletes, just as it's transphobic to describe women as "former men" how do you address the utter unfairness of a woman who transitioned at age 35 giving her 35 years of testosterone beefing up her body structure and muscles competing against cis women who have never had a drop enter their bodies? that's the point EndOfDiscOne failed to address in any capacity. and it's a point i've never seen a satisfactory answer to. i really try to be accepting of everyone but the idea of this trans woman competing against cis women just seems so unfair and i feel like its bullshit that i'm labeled a "transphobe" for asking this. edit: not saying you were calling me a "transphobe" here, but i do feel like i'm guaranteed to be jumped on by at least a few people here for asking this question --- Playing: Luigi's Mansion 3; Dead Cells; You see it your way, I'll see it mine and I'll be fine ...

The issue is NOT that Laurel Hubbard is winning. She might just be a top tier elite athlete. The issue is, how good was she before she transitioned?
Because if we've worked out a fair playing field, then her stats should be roughly about the same (correcting for training, lifestyle etc) to before she transitioned, relative to the playing field. If not, questions are fair. --- CE's Resident Scotsman. https://imgur.com/ILz2ZbV ... Copied to Clipboard!

That appears to be the case. The Olympic committee doesn't seem to think it will be an issue (as it hasn't in the past) then how do you feel about this quote, taken from the article in OP? However, a number of scientific papers have recently shown people who have undergone male puberty retain significant advantages in power and strength even after taking medication to suppress their testosterone levels.

The way this article has it written sounds like she's qualified because most of her competition wasn't able to qualify due to Covid in an already small competitive field. Heck she's not even leading the qualifiers like you would expect if she was actually just a male body.
This sounds like an issue with amended rules to allow for Covid-19 than it is a trans issue. ... Copied to Clipboard!
