Women’s Sport and Transgender Inclusion

[chuck]

Absolutely ridiculous that this conversation has to be had. Anyone with a sense of fairness knows it's wrong. Why allow the worst people to enter themselves into competitions in which they don't belong? So bizzare.

I would march with the trans community for their right to identify as trans or for a human born as a man, wanting to identify as a woman, so on and so forth. It doesn't harm me, nor anyone else. It is a minority of people and in a free society this is a right we can all tolerate and it enables a very small proportion of our community to live a happy life.

I have observed trans women playing in the women's competition of several sports and in most cases it is unfair. (Those trans competitors usually compete at the very top of the competition.) Solutions: Either we will require biological status at birth to qualify for a specific competition (mixed / men or women). Or is there an ability to qualify based on weight, like boxing and 'all in' (men and women)? Or maybe testosterone levels, (wasn't cycling looking at this?); perhaps? Just something to make it fair, otherwise biologically born women are going to be pushed aside in divisions and competition, which were designed to enable them to 'compete' at sport.

Again, I acknowledge transgender people and believe their cause. I am certainly no bigot, nor do I cast any prejudice against those within the LGBTQ community.

One last thing; sadly identity politics is also jumping into this argument to win votes for certain populist politicians and making a drama out of a non event (bogeyman effect), which is very disturbing and quite frankly disgusting. Nevertheless, in sporting gender category, biological women as a whole will come 2nd to trans athletes, in most sports.

Peace.

all the studies have been done by all the experts and concluded that all female genders should compete together would it be better for trans males that have a masculine gender to compete with all female genders

We as a nation or children of Our Creator shouldn't even pander to these kinds of ridiculousness. Evil looks to distract us from the real issues...like the destruction of our way of worship. If we make a stand, like St. Paul advises, then stand again and again and again against evil and wickedness wherever we find it.. resist and it will frlee..i have found all it takes is for me to show up somewhere and God, The Creator, does the rest..👍 ><>
