Do Transgender Athletes Have an Advantage in Female Sporting Events? | Good Morning Britain

[@knightofwind2929]

This is great, as a man i can identify as a woman, make millions in women's sports for like 3 years then leave and identify as a man again. Heck yeah, easy money

[@minoarno7415]

true, I think we found a new get rich quick scheme xD

[@hafeezahmatthews3645]

🙃🙃🙃🙃

[@MrTheChefkoch]

there isnt that much money to be made in woman sports. isnt it?

[@wallace8637]

The only problem, hope you dont compete against women(identified).

[@jorgesousa6683]

Wait until this transgenderism becomes a trend. Then women sports will be just as competitive as men's.

[@dianelemay3661]

Well said Piers! "BULLYING PPL INTO SILENCE" that pretty much wraps it up , your no nonsense approach to this topic is greatly APPRECAITE , your continued quest to help society come back to their senses is so reassuring THANK YOU , keep up the great work!

[@cameronmeyer5968]

I think trans people should compete against trans people. Trans-men v Trans-men, Trans-women v Trans-women

[@TheDetroit147]

This is all uterly nonsense. There are " 100 genders" then there should be 100 gender categories in sport. Simple as that. And next will be changing rooms, toiletes, specific schools and so on. This has to stop. Trans woman are trans woman NOT woman gget out of the woman sports, toiletes, changing rooms etc.

[@bestjenkins2165]

I aint payin tax dollars just for that

[@jorgesousa6683]

Or just 1 trans people category. If they see themselves as gender neutral, then let them suffer the consequences of their own choices. Then the biologically born women would probably complain, but oh well, you chose it in the first place.

[@aaditnoronha5383]

yea lol no one will watch that

[@kevinonyia6203]

This will open a pandoras box... We'll have other genders wanting recognition in sports as well

[@robertlonsdale5326]

I'm not embracing gender fluidity, I'm offended and this man is a doctor.

[@Marigold502]

He's not a medical dr

[@bard6184]

I'm pretty sure there's a vast silent majority out there who agree whole-heartedly with Morgan and Navratilova. But people are afraid to speak up because madness has become the right thing in this world. You get cancelled for being sane.

[@ashnakamura2411]

It's actually a movement that's indoctrinating kids, it's ridiculous.

[@rhysjaggar4677]

I'm absolutely sure the vast silent majority is there, because 100% of people who express an opinion face-to-face, outside places of work, to people they at least know a bit (me), agree with Morgan and Navratilova. I've not heard one single opinion disagreeing with them. I'm sure they exist, but they don't exist in the circles I talk in.

[@thezu9250]

Most people including trans people agree with that view. There’s a reason why they’re been banned from every female sport now.

[@lisieltaneza3845]

Why scared being cancelled? The world dont evolve around them.

[@KR-us9pj]

You are not alone.

[@germanmarcos267]

We´ve seen cases of 60 years old men identifying themselves as women in order to retire earlier (sin men retire at 65), this is in Argentina, this is the same case. this is not embracing inclusivity, it is just taking advantage of an unclear agenda.

[@evetszerep9568]

I’m sorry I don’t mean to be rude, but I don’t understand so if you’re born female, but you’re binary and choose to be male how do you get your spouse pregnant?

[@evetszerep9568]

Or what if your female and choose to be binary, are you going to have a male spouse or female spouse and on your choice who has the baby?

[@jamesokuna3778]

I believe a trans gender women should compete with other trans gender women. They should have their own division.

[@sirhoopalot1125]

It wouldn’t last

[@kenyaglobalnewsnetwork35]

True

[@haninnify]

only fair solution

[@tarathoughts13]

Taht would be great - but we literally don’t have enough trans athletes. Maybe in a couple years yes but not right now.

[@Shroomboy81]

This professors argument doesn't hold water. Well it does, but not for the reasons he would like. He says he can't be a jockey because he's to tall, a basket ball player because he's to small, well then shouldn't that translate that he or any other man shouldn't be able to compete as a woman because they are to male?

[@guesst9814]

ikr. but i say, hey, let's wait until they talk about fighting/martial arts sports. and if they don't change their mind even then, idk what would make them.

[@FalenFourTwenty]

LGB is fine, but when they added the T they joined the crazy train that America seems to be on. AFAIK Lesbian, Gay and Bisexual are all words referring to a persons sexual preferences. Then they added all these letters that have nothing to do with sexual preferences and are all about personal identity. The word ''Straight'' has more inline with Lesbians, Gays and Bisexuals, since it also refers to sexual preference. Adding all these letters that refer to personal identity just confuses everything.

[@andrewb.9815]

Funny how you don't see trans-men competing against real men, isn't it?

[@independentfilmchannel1476]

That would have the opposite effect. They would always lose and therefore, no one would notice.

[@Thesaurcery4U2C]

EVERYONE has to know the correct answer to this. It's not confusing. You were bullied a little at a time, until your afraid to speak up. Be opposed to any hate speech policies. "If you want to know who controls you, look at who you are not allowed to criticize." ~ Voltaire

[@anglophils645]

Caster Semenya was not born a female. He is a genetic male, with XY chromosomes. He has PAIS----Partial Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome, which causes his body to have an incomplete response to androgens, the most dominant of which is testosterone. Therefore, at his birth, his genetalia did not look fully normal for a male, and his doctors advised his parents that it would be best to rear him as female. However, his parents did not follow the next medically necessary step. For AIS males who wish to live as females, to more closely match the look of their genitalia, their undescended testicles need to be removed, and they need to receive supplemental estrogens to help them go through female puberty. If that surgery and therapy had been done for Caster Semenya, he would be considered to be a biological female. Not a genetic female, not a fertile female, but a biological female, who went through puberty as such, and who therefore has no gender advantage over genetic females. Biological female should be defined as someone who went through female puberty. Chromosomes (genetics) should not matter, and current hormone levels should not matter. If Caster Semenya suppresses his hormones for six months, that dies not take away his male advantage of bigger, stronger, bones and muscles, and larger heart and lungs. He has permanently received those advantages over biological females, be cause he went through male puberty. Therefore, he should never be allowed to compete against women, at all.

[@joeylee9809]

I Salute Martina Navratilova for speaking out against transgender athlete's competing against female athlete's, especially in Track and Field events, if these Trans athlete's wants to compete against other trans athlete's as well or better yet since they were born a man they should compete against the male athlete's.

[@Iamjamessmith1]

We are not born in a body. We are born as a body, we do not self-identify we are identified but others.

[@mr.transporter7601]

How can he say “just accept the fact that he can’t be a jockey,” or Piers can’t play in the NBA because of physical reasons, but refuse to understand that a male who can’t compete with the top men in the WORLD just accept it and not transition to have an advantage?? He literally muted his own point.

[@thatbaldgamer88]

Imagine being in the university were this professor is your teacher. How much is he being paid to do this nonsense? Not everyone can be elite athletes just like you can’t just wake up one day and change your sex. We’ve entertained this for far too long.

[@bleeee.]

It's mind blowing that he said 'why would someone live a facade' with such blind ignorance, although considering what he's arguing, not surprising.

[@bard6184]

Yeah. Why would someone live a facade? Millions of dollars, that's why.

[@bambamsboys7394]

Oh my gosh, I cannot believe this man said “you just can’t do things sometimes so it’s ok for trans women (biological men) to play in women’s sports cause I couldn’t be a jockey or a basketball player”…this is not even close to being the same.

[@kimoreilly7999]

Absolutely not ! of course it’s an unfair advantage , they are male

[@Shroomboy81]

Definitely an unfair advantage, chucking a wig on and having some silicon put in your chest doesn't make you female. The thing is it doesn't even take that these days they just have to "feel" like they're a woman. A schizophrenic might think they're an international spy, we don't chuck a James Bond kit at them and say "crack on, have at it" we medicate them back to reality. It should be the same with this lot.

[@billbunnel9884]

Heck yes. Never should of been aloud

[@PAULINEC-y1o]

The easy thing is for all the women athletes walk away and do not compete, then the trans male will have to compete on his own

[@badgerfishinski6857]

"No". This issue doesnt deserve to even be discussed. Pierce is right. Next topic please

[@lakshmishreev8539]

He basically said noone wouls go through all that trouble so its fine. Have you no idea to what extent people will go to for money?? They risk their lives, what's pretending for a few years. And he didnt even have a solution in the end. Oh yeah we have to inclusive, so that means if a man de ides he is a women, he can take part in women games and too bad for women, we dont give a shit about women's rights

[@luckystone2293]

Of course he knows

[@kayla-Rey22]

Yeah, like no athlete ever went through all that trouble to take performance enhancing drugs. Winning is everything to these people. They'll do anything to win and for all the publicity that goes with it.

[@ArmyguyTravelsSports]

Honestly we don’t have to accommodate, especially when it takes from others rights

[@shawnkelly695]

Why are we being forced to see a man as a woman?

[@nickodonato6316]

I think we shouldn't ask biological males if transwomen are allowed in women sports. Let's ask biological female medical experts, biological female sports committees, and biological female sports participants if they should allow transwomen in their category.

[@richalderson6069]

India Willoughby has done a complete 180 on his opinions here and now supports trans women in sports. Maybe his activist buddies pushed him into it.

[@rollifranklyn8923]

Piers and Sharan are correct end of

[@MatthewFordVictoria]

When the Olympics is on, there should be Transgender Games, just like we have the Paralympics, and the Special Olympics. Everyone has the right to Compete in Sports, as long as they stay in their own category.

[@badgerfishinski6857]

Can i please join the womans national futbol team!!??? Im a 60 year old man....Retired futbol player....and..out of shape....and look forward to scoring 3 goals every game....and winning the scoring title. Oh please...put me on your squad!

[@emmanuelmaren223]

I think transgenders should have a different category in sports

[@AcidGubba]

Why can we make distinctions in sports like the Pars Olympics? The fact that a runner with two legs is faster than one with one is also a distinction. The point is to offer fair opportunities to every participant.

[@thxnderbxlt1954]

"but why would someone live a facade" mate if i had to live a facade in public for 20 years for MILLIONS, id win an oscar every year

[@tonybage321]

Let sports be open for all categories rather than gender categories. Let trans people, men and women compete together in combined events to conlcude that biological women sports will vanish from the pages of history 😂

[@cliffoswald]

The American swimmer was in the 400's in standing; converts to female, is a champion.

[@adamant9979]

Then, why not give them their own category transgender men play against transgender men trans women play against trans women. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@kayla-Rey22]

Because men identifying as women don't want Trans sports. Why would they? Winning against women is too easy.

[@thatbaldgamer88]

We are behind you Morgan..

[@johnross755]

How come people born female aren't conpeting against males if theres equality?

[@waldemarmarwalde6817]

1) Equality is a story we agreed to tell each other over and over again until we forget it is a LIE. 2) There are more transmen competing against men than transwomen competing against women The reason that Transmen on HRT are not allowed to compete against women because of doping restriction 3)Transmen do not tend to win against men So you normally aint gonna see them on TV because they do not make it through the qualification rounds. But that is not because they would not compete. that is because they compete and lose.

[@nonegone7170]

Put a female kick boxer against a male kick boxer and find out. Oh wait, we already did...

Why is it always guys who transition wanting to compete against the biological females, but rarely if ever do see gals who transition looking to compete against biological males? 😯

PROFESSOR Ellis's INCLUSIVITY WIPES WOMEN OUT. ITS NO LONGER INCLUSIVE FOR BIOLOGICAL WOMEN anger 😒 😤 🙄

[@michaelnielsen662]

This response answers THAT, ! question. :Marker{04:18}. In the swimming field, there should be a lapse in the starting bell a few seconds after the starting bell or women's. THAT would be determined by the racing council and officials. In Golf, There are two Tee markers on the tee-off green. One for women and one for men. Also, you are given the choice of having a ,"Handicap " in Golf also. In track and field, A racer on the inside lane starts farther behind the farther outside lanes. In the most famous car race in the world Indianapolis 500, Your qualifying time determines where you start in the starting grid. In a lot of sports, you have the choice of having a point advantage also. Ping Pong for example. I.E. Player #1, says to Player #2, I'll spot you "X" points".

[@HockeyDudeJames]

India is the beacon of trans people. Good for her for being brutally honest.

[@matthewleet9882]

Of course they do. They should compete in their own competition.

[@JohnSmith-tt3go]

The fact that discourse in this subsists of the title is why the state of things is so dismal. Men clearly and obviously have an advantage over women in physical contests. The debate about this is so behind where the issue is currently at that there's no use in even tuning in to these kinds of interviews/debates.

. Don't you remember the Olympic games in 1948/ 52/56/60/ The East Germans and the Russians used to have Female hammer throwers and shot put and discuss throwers built like heavy weight boxers. They were massive in size and strength . They won all the golds , and nobody said a sqeak , but nobody believed they were normal. Our athletes looked ridiculously small against these female giants. They could have been trans, but were never tested for years

[@Guest-at-the-Asylum]

Each human cell contains 23 pairs of chromosomes that carry DNA within their nucleus. The X and Y chromosomes, commonly referred to as the sex chromosomes, are one such pair. They determine the biological sex, reproductive organs, and sexual characteristics that develop in a person. Female (XX) mammals inherit one X chromosome from each parent, but males (XY) receive an X from their mother and a Y sex chromosome from their father.

[@malcolmcarroll9497]

Surely there is a very simple answer to transgender “ women” competing in women’s events. Have all male events, all women’s events and transgender events. How come nobody has thought of that ? It is an absolute solution to the whole problem !

[@IamKlaus007]

Not only do the records speak for themselves, I wonder how many trans 'women' would be willing to walk into a hospital and tell someone, "I'm having a miscarriage". Or better still, undergo an examination by a gynecologist. C'mon do it. We just want see you embarrass yourselves and prove to us all how deep the bs goes.
