Are the rules for trans athletes fair?

Transgender athletes may take part in the Olympic Games for the first time. But allowing transgender women to compete in women’s sport is provoking a heated debate about inclusion and fairness.

In sport, women and men categories weren't created because they felt different. It's because they are physically different. It's as if a boxing superweight said he should compete in the lightweight category because he feels lighter

[Daniel_Anthony]

This whole thing is the biggest joke of our time

[alexmikhylov]

to be a professional athlete is not a human right

[cgomez]

Nothing against trans people, they are human and deserve respect. But we are talking about sports and fairness, and in this context there is an unfair advantage.

[jessed]

No one in their right mind thinks a biological male should be permitted to compete as a women. This isn't 'controversial', it's patently absurd.

[pottingsoil]

If they didn't have an advantage they obviously wouldn't be smashing every record.

[samuelolwe]

Wasn't there a reason mens' and womens' sport was separated? Or should we just merge the two since "hey, everyone has a 'competitive advantage'"

[mort]

How tf do people not see how this is going to destroy women’s sport

[noobnoob]

This Rachel said in the beginning that they are legally and socially women. Yes, but Not Physically/biologically though.

[symihope]

“it’s clear that legally and socially we are” yes but this is entirely an issue of biology

[kshitijr]

Imagine being so woke, that you start repression of women...

[nicolasleth]

"No one has a competitive advantage over each other"
Then why split it into male and female if "sport is never level"?
Why don't they just compete with other men if they don't see an advantage

[SHZIA]

Why is this even a debate. Women’s sports are being wrecked and everyone is standing by? So called experts!!!

[EngineeringStudent]

"Do trans athlete have an unfair advantage?"

Is that even a question🤔

[polog]

Why is the right for one transgender not to be discriminated more important, than the right of hunderts of women to compete in a fair system?

[sb-jtzn]

I identify as a gold medalist so I won’t accept bronze 😂

[iamyourbiggestfan]

"Do Trans athletes have an unfair advantage?"

Answer: Yes!

[cedric-assehliemessing]

"Do trans athletes have an unfair advantage?"

Next time on: "Is the Earth actually round?"

[steamlink]

Rachel sounds like a 12 year old participating in a race against 8 year olds and being proud of winning.

Not trying to belittle women. Just making a bad analogy.

“This is about are trans women actually women and it’s clear that legally and socially we are”

Me: Well, but not biologically.🤷‍♂️
