[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Transgender people are literally in a fight for their lives, with a government administration that wants to deny their existence and make it so that they can be discriminated against and denied jobs, housing, etc. because of their gender identity, have a 40+% rate of suicide if they are not supported and affirmed, are murdered at alarming rates because they are constantly dehumanized by fellow human beings.  But yes, it's just so unfair that a transgender person won a bike race.  Let's all post and rant about that.

You people are despicable.  [/quote]

If transgender people want support, it would be wise if they suggested to their own that competing against women while not suppressing testosterone is not going to go over well with the public at large.

Women are still working to achieve equality in sports. Having biological men rampage through and demand "their" place in them - while any biological woman taking testosterone would be disqualified for doping - just shows the world that transwomen may say they're women, but they behave like men.

It's possible Jeff's doing a lot of deleting, but the posts I've seen on this thread are supportive of transgender people in general. Pick your pronouns. Pick your name. Wear what you want to wear. Be you! But realize that male bodied people have physical advantages over female bodied people, and recognize when it's inappropriate to insist your male body is that of a woman. Sports is one of those areas.[/quote]
