[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In general, I support the rights of trans people, but I think this is just wrong. If that means that trans people can't compete at such levels in sports, than be it.

I respect your wish to be identified as whatever gender you choose, use the bathroom of your choice, and live however you please provided others aren't affected (this goes for all people, not just trans people). But this is biologically unfair to women in sports.

Absolutely this.  I support people identifying however they want, but no one can erase the fact that someone who was born physically male will retain stronger bone structure and muscles, and a huge competitive advantage. You can’t identify that away. We have separate competitions for male and female bodies for a reason, and allowing someone who retains the advantages of a male body to compete against 100% physically female bodies flies in the face of that.

We can’t always have it all. There is little difference between allowing this and allowing select athletes to dope all they want while pretending that the playing field is equal.[/quote]
