Say it with me: not agreeing with the trans people doesnt mean youre transphobic (unless its something actually transphobic)

[mballheart]

I feel like the non transgender athletes were holding back or being extremely careful about what they say so that they wouldn’t be labeled transphobic even though almost everything they said makes logical sense. We need to stop labeling people as “phobic” just because they say something that goes against what you think.

[liltinglullaby]

Alternative title for the video: people trying not to say something that would get them cancelled for 20 minutes straight.

[JungkooksTingTingBall]

Comparing puberty to drinking a protein shake once is actual insanity Ngl

[_bellersss]

I really want to see a part 2 with medical professionals to validate facts, rather than listening to anecdotes

[briandunlap]

"Are we going to put people in their own categories by weight?"

Quite literally: yes.

[newchallenge]

The problem is they are almost exclusively talking about hormones but that isn't the problem. It's the height, lung function, and bone density. Those don't change upon transition.

[blk]

"It shouldn't matter if your male or female." How can a Trans person say that? Do they not realize the inconsistency in that? The irony?

[Pancajayna]

If we make sports gender neutral, women would lose in about 99% of the cases...

[sebbywarcraft]

Why are we passing this off as a belief and not something that’s based on reality and backed by science?

[felicityr]

Omg comparing a protein shake to having natural male hormones is the most ridiculous thing ever!

[mollyeaton]

It doesn’t matter how many hours you train, you have a biological advantage!!!!

[MiguelZenin]

Sports are not about feelings… Sports have rules… it’s about being fair and having everyone at the same level

[bradfoster]

"Are we gonna make categories for CIS athletes?" Yes, yes they have actually. Feather weight, heavy weight, etc, you know why? Because of advantages and disadvantages

[alexanthony]

They always seem to ignore the argument about transitioning after puberty. They completely disregarded the comments about a larger heart, greater lung capacity, greater bone density.

[nicholassmith]

I’d love to see a similar conversation involving biologists, kinesiologists, and other scientists that fully understand and can articulate exactly how transitioning can affect anatomy, body mechanics, strength, stamina, speed and how those things impact competitive balance.

[AndreyUrman]

On the one hand, we hear many complaints about Transwomen dominating women's sports,
and on the other hand, we hear no complaints whatsoever about transmen dominating men's sports.
What does that tell us? It is unfair to put Males and Females on the same playing field even after taking hormones of the opposite sex.
The physical differences are still there, and males will always have the advantage.

[finnsol]

Jubilee dropped the ball on this one by not throwing a doctor on both sides. That would be more interesting imo

[og_neso]

People need to stop using examples like "this girl in my high school beat all the guys in a sport" or "I'm trans and I didn't get a scholarship" as an argument for a huge debate like this

[lemfitwellness]

This was painful to watch. The non-transgender people were so timid and barely brought up strong points. Push them on their arguments! You can see people are so afraid to say anything to challenge the trans narrative. Put me in the ring on this one.
