what is the idea user level, karma, and AMP ratio when folks do this? how do you win? >_> I average like 10 AMP and my karma lines up with the creation date and I'm a troll alt apparently. But then you have new users who have like 10 karma/ 400 AMP and ? Blocks with 5k karma/80 AMP that fit this criteria too. like wut?
You should post more often. You have an awesome username.

articles like this, and topics about them, really skew the way trans people are perceived!

I think there should be some sort of soft ban on topics like this: once one topic about a highly skilled trans woman athlete is posted, posting another results in a usermap axe until 50 or so have been posted about trans women performing at average or below-average levels

Her teammates seem to be pretty upset over it.

described Penn swimmers on the Akron pool deck as upset and crying, knowing they were going to be demolished by Thomas.

Almost every user above me in here calling this as transphobia, which is the majority of you. Id like to let you know that my opinion is irrelevant, and your opinion is irrelevant. So all these transphobic remarks youre making are vile and ignorant. The only person(s) whose opinion matters is those that are affected by it, those who participate in the functions. So the rest of you can shut the fuck up, and not put your nose where it doesnt belong. If you havent trained your entire life as a competitor, you have no right to an opinion on the adversity these athletes have to deal with. Video gamers on an internet board have no weight in this discussion, you probably cant run a mile properly, so please leave these athletes and their world alone to them to decide what is appropriate.

Trying to project your opinion onto others and claiming it as holy grail and anyone who disagrees needs a soft ban is serious fascist shit. What the FUCK? I didnt realize having Nazzi similarities was common and so open in public. Notice how I never give an opinion on transgender athletes? Because Im not a woman athlete! Its not my place to put my nose in it. Holy shit the ignorance.

because instances of trans women performing at this high a level get way more coverage than their actual frequency would merit. they're over-reported. and then people with poor critical thinking skills, or people who just want another excuse to hate trans women (such as most of the people in this topic) get a skewed idea of how often this kind of thing actually happens.

Thats the part that I think people arent fully appreciating. If youve done anything competitive, that gap should look insane to you. That is close to the real life version of the joke about Lebron James scoring 700 points if he joined the WNBA.

But I dont compete in swimming anyway, so its whatever.

I've always said sports should be separated by sex, not gender. Also women are welcome to join almost any male league but none have been able to physically do it yet at the pro level, and rarely at the collegiate level, which is why there are different leagues for the sexes.

What type of context does it need to be put in?

If there is one steroid user in baseball is it wrong to report on it, because "people might get the idea that there is more than one steroid user" ?

The reality here that people like you seem hell bent on denying is that MtF trans persons can have a very significant advantage over cis females in athletics.

Specifically, I'd argue that they will have the biggest advantages in individual sports where pure strength and speed are extremely advantageous. I'd also argue that their advantages will be less so in team sports where many other factors beyond strength and speed come into play.

Quite frankly, I've never seen a good faith argument against this.

It's a very complicated issue, but it is downright silly to pretend that MtF trans persons could ever possess a significant physical advantage over cis females. There are certainly individual factors to assess here too.

Males and Females just possess such significantly different levels of strength on average and many people seem to be very much in denial of this.

It's because it is just a bad faith argument that works both ways.

Most people who defend MtF trans persons simply don't follow sports or truly understand how VAST the physical differences between men and women can be.

They are only arguing to care one bit about sports so they can argue some stupid narrative that allows them to feel superior to others.

You've not "always" said anything. And doing that just means trans men would dominate over cis women, and cis men would completely prevent trans women from competing. That is to say your idea would literally destroy women's sports and make it so men are the only competitors.

Good point. I dont see any option that eliminates all downsides. For the sake of argument, what if sports were split into cis women, and just an open to everyone side? But even that seems to single out trans women more so than anyone else.

none of them can compare to the top male athletes

In the men's leagues I agree

In the women's leagues which are segregated in the first place because competition against men Is impossible, its not fair to play against biological males

Gender is irrelevant, we're talking cold hard biology .

Venus Williams dominated tennis but would be effortlessly spanked by any top 300 male player

It's not fair to say someone who has the physical advantages of male biology is allowed to compete against someone who doesn't in a professional athletics context

Sports manage to find a way to exist and not be destroyed. I just want women to play with women and men to play with men.

It's not about existing, it's about being fair

If tomorrow the NFL said the Seahawks were allowed 2 extra players, the sport would still exist and they still would lose sometimes it just wouldn't be fair to everyone else and the fans


Just a bunch of people who think trans women are subhuman trash bringing politics into sports.

Women playing women's sports is not a bad idea. All biological women should play women's sports, not just most.

Would you say the Williams sisters should have gotten spanked in men's sports since their tennis dominance was unfair to other female athletes?
