[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]How does giving Trans women rights diminish biological women's rights[/b]?

We're all in the same group as "female." I don't care if trans women want to join. The more the merrier.[/quote]

I guess you were never an athlete. [/quote]

I played a D1 sport. I have no problem being inclusive.

Such a small %, right?

I'm glad you were capable. I'm an average athlete. I only got to compete in HS because sports were sex segregated. Sports were sex segregated to give girls the opportunity to compete, because women are generally at a physical disadvantage to men.

College athletics have requirements about trans people before allowing them to compete, which may help level those differences. HS athletics do not have consistent standards, which is why you have situations like Connecticut, where trans girls not taking hormones, trans girls biologically identical to male athletes, competed, and won, against biological girls.

Remember, were it not for sex segregated sports, none of us ever would have heard of Flo Jo. She was far too slow compared to the male runners.[/quote]
