Do Trans Athletes Have An Unfair Advantage?

Do Trans Athletes have an unfair advantage?

And should they be allowed to compete in women's sports?

I know the very nature of this topic is controversial and this may come across to some people as quote un quote 'transphobic'. But I want to say that it is clear to me that gender dysphoria is a real medical condition and people who experience Gender Dysphoria should be treated with tolerance and compassion and not have to face discrimination and violence because of who they are.

However, we're talking about competition and fairness in sport, so naturally, the question that comes to mind is: Do Trans Athletes have an unfair advantage and should they be allowed to compete against women? That is the question this video is going to answer.

For those of you who don't quite understand the concept of transgender, we're talking about biological males transitioning into females through the use of hormone blockers and surgery, and competing against biological women.

Sex segregation is how competitive sport has recognized the performance advantages elite male athletes have over elite female athletes.

In 1998, Serena and Venus Williams claimed they could beat any man outside of the top 200 in a singles match. One man accepted the challenge, world ranked #203, Karsten Braasch.

According to journalists, Braasch's training regiment 'centred around beer and cigarettes'.

Sister Act Falls in Battle of Sexes

Despite all that, Karsten still came out victorious over both sisters.

When Braasch was interviewed after the match, he told the reporter 'he had finished a round of golf and 2 beers earlier that day and it didn't matter if the sisters played someone outside the top 300 or above, they didn't stand a chance'.

Serena Williams *I wouldn't want to compete against men*

Now that observation and statement may come across as 'sexist'.

However, data proves that high school boys athletes can outperform female Olympic athletes.

And yes, that wasn't a mistake. I said high school boys athletes.

10.49 is the Women's World Record for the fastest time in the 100 meters. 4 individual male high schoolers between the ages of 15 and 18 beat that record.

If the idea to separate men from women in sports made sense 50 years ago when former US President Richard Nixon passed title IX, how did we get to the point where elite male athletes are now allowed to identify as 'women' and compete against elite female athletes and how is this supposed to be progress for women globally?

“Do trans athletes have an unfair advantage?”

Yes. Yes they do. There’s is no argument for this.

[KevinMDowney]

I can’t believe this is actually a conversation.

[justinmaitland]

The vast majority, if not all, trans athletes are men saying their women to win at sports. I have yet to hear of a woman transitioning and competing in male sports in any significant way.

This is an attack on women's sports.

[sinakaedwards]

I feel bad for the girls that loose scholarship opportunities due to it.

[jens]

It's an absolute disgrace! How on earth has it come to this? Wake up ladies and fight against this nonsense....

[captainsmartass]

That WE never see a WOMAN identifying as a MAN competing in the men's sport division tells you everything you need to know

[janetgray]

This is not just an attack on women’s sport, it is an outright attack on women.

[donnagardner]

im honestly a bit annoyed that anybody would say its not their fault...it IS their fault...they know what an unfair advantage they have and they STILL go forward and compete. It is a MORALLY depraved person that willingly CHEATS their way to the top!!

Since I already have an opinion, I'll post my comment before watching the video. If it looks like a duck, and walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, and has a penis, it is a MALE duck.

[rdrhouse]

if every real woman walked out on every event a trans thingy attended, they would get the message really quickly. Your principles are worth more than any medal that you can't win.

[handleymh]

Hormones do not change bone structure, hand breadth, lung capacity, or many other physical development advantages that make male athletes so dominating to women athletes. It just isn't fair to put a male athletes up against a woman athletes regardless of how they identify. They are just physically different from biological women.

If it was actually true that transwomen athletes were exactly the same as women, then it should follow that transmale athletes are exactly the same as the men. So why don't we see a rush of transmale athletes competing on the men's sports? It is because they are not the same and would have no hope of winning. It is only in women's sports where biological males are competing against biological females.

[Lulu-wvnt]

These are big ass men.
They shouldn't be competing against women period.
Just create your own lane just like women and physically challenged people did

[rdrhouse]

'trans athletes', men that couldn't cut it in male sport.

[cecilbrown]

They are not following the rules; they are pushing the rules and they are enjoying!

[Chris-the-Saxon]

Trans who go into the sports are to blame as well! They are fully aware of what they are doing regardless if it's in the rules or not!

[lanouek]

Sports is sex based not gender. This is ridiculous

[stephaniedye]

Finally, a concise, clear, and fact based video about this whole crazy transgender in sports! Thank you. The issue seems so obvious, why are so many people just not seeing with their eyes, let alone biological facts. If there is no diff, then why don't we see female to males longing to compete against men. As an older Woman, who had to play softball instead of little League, and watched my boy pals outdo me in everything (except horseback riding, ) it super pisses me off that all the strides in woman's sports equality is being slashed. These records, awards and scholarships should be going to Women. Biological, no testicles women. I am angry. Be who or what you want, but not when that hurts so many.

During high school my sis had a male friend that beat up 3 girls that were bigger then him. They been bullies to him, one day they decided to make it physical, thinking he was easy to beat due to his small size and slenderness. When it happened he pushed my sis to the side, said don't worry and defended himself and beat the living crap out of them in matters of minutes. After that the mean girls never bothered him for rest of school years.

[jethrobruceandal]

The fact that most, if not all transwoman athletes go on to become champions and set records in their respective sports, while we never even hear of a single transman joining men's sports answers that question.

[comedyentertainmentchannel]

all real women need to stand up for themselves and speak out stop being cowards and scared what people think about you' speak the truth and call it out!!!! simple as that' stop competing against biological men in sports.
