Dr. Ross Tucker, PhD - Biological Perspectives on Transgender Athletes in Sport 2022

[GreenSangha]

This is an outstanding interview, jam-packed with great information. Why wouldn't the IOC follow the science? It just affirms how much more men are valued than women, that they would crush a woman's ambition, dreams, and opportunities to accommodate men who "identify" as us. It's ludicrous!

Ross Tucker is a genius. I feel thoroughly informed.

Brilliant. Sharing this again, today because the New Ol' Olympics are letting m3n compete against wom3n.

It is sickening the way this even has to be discussed. When was the last time you heard of a woman escorting a man for protection? If something is heavy, when does a man ever ask a woman to take on the task of lifting. Women are born, not worn. Trans people say they "just want to be left alone." Well, we women and girls also want to be left alone. The feelings and spaces of women and girls has been utterly discarded. This is so misogynistic.

If you show that athletics event and you talk over it it is 100% FAIR USE, educational and transformative.

I think you are heading in the right direction, but haven't quite gotten there yet. I think you missed one aspect or danced around it. So, something else to consider. Not all transgender athletes are the same. There are a variety of biological causes that led to us being transgender in the first place. Like any other condition, nature loves diversity, and a lot of those conditions are not conducive to sport. So, I think you have used the crutch/same similar flaw that many others make, and that is the assumption that a transgender woman starts from the same biological base as a cisgender male. And then add on top that, that transgender kids today are mostly skipping male puberty all together...and the argument of advantage goes away quickly (they never get it/go through it and follow a similar biological path as a cisgender female).
Would love to discuss further with you, so feel free to contact for a more thorough discussion...

You spoke like if there transwomen were swarming. But in reality 1 tw in a sport vs 100 000 ciswomen....
