One of the more frustrating elements of anti-trans rhetoric in sports is the idea that men transition just to gain sporting success. It's so far removed from the intense physical and emotional difficulties trans people go through when making their decision. It's such a straw man from the intent of these policies— excluding an entire group of people from society for populist political reasons.
this is fascinating and an understandably divisive issue. you can identify as anything you want. that’s perfectly OK. But, when it comes to sports and fairness, you have biological advantages being a man. testosterone is a big game changer. women compete against women. men against men. trans against trans. they can make up their own rules regarding male to female and female to male. it’s absurd to do otherwise. has nothing to do with prejudice or right wing affiliation. its simply a question of fairness. don’t complicate it. marina is correct on this.

There is no unmaking Martina. She is right.
Changing gender identity still leaves a trans with man’s body and muscles.
Go and compete against men, you have much more in common with them. Or don’t compete.
She's right you know?
