[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Can we please go back to  the topic?  The lack of response makes me think a lot of people don’t have enough understanding about this.[/quote]

Because trans women are women, they should play women’s sports.  Basic human rights here.  Not much to debate.  Sorry not sorry.[/quote]

Biologically they are men and as such have a definite advantage over women in most sports. 
So we should let these people with an advantage because of their biological sex compete at the expense of women?
What good is Title IX then?[/quote]

Are they really biological males if they are on hormone suppressants or on estrogen?  Shouldn't the definition of being a biological male require a certain level of testosterone after puberty?

But really the numbers here are miniscule.  There will continue to be opportunities for women regardless.  [/quote]

DP. So you’re acknowledging that it’s an outrageous expectation for men to compete with women if the man has already gone through puberty and we’re just debating the actual time for the cutoff before he decides to live as a woman?[/quote]

But we are talking about youth/high school athletes, right.  That's what everybody is concerned with.  And at that point, have they even gone through puberty?  Sure if LeBron James decides tomorrow that he is a trans woman, he'd dominate in the WNBA.  But he probably would just stay in the NBA cause he could.  Title IX wasn't put in place because women weren't good enough to play on mens teams, it was because there were no teams open for women period (BTW Title IX is so much more than athletics).  Money was being spent on boys and girls did not have any opportunity.
