The genetic make up is different, we all know men are naturally stronger, faster, and almost all the other categories right? It’s the same if you talk about a transgender, they’re really a man competing in women sport. I’ve seen some of those transgenders, they would lose in men sports and they wanna switch women sports and perform better. If they were to go back to the men sports, they won’t perform that good.

[@artkirakosyan2633]

1 second difference is not 10 percent difference. 99 percent of all male sprinters would beat the female world record holder. That means if she were competing with men her rank would be lower then top 10 thousand. Not top 10 not top thousand, but top 10 thousand.

[@The_ex-atheistwk6tv]

Sha'carri Richardson ran a 12.07 100m. That is the 13,500th fastest 100m in the men's division. Let Mike Tyson in his 50's transition, then compete in the female heavyweight division. He would delete a few women.

[@artkirakosyan2633]

@@The_ex-atheistwk6tv the problem is that he is not going to just beat them but as you said it, he is going to delete them. At least in other sports they can reverse it after a few egos are hurt. Male are so wild in combat sports that even some male athletes die or become a vegetable after the fight. For a female to compete in combat sport is as difficult as for male trying to give birth after transitioning through their ass.

[@tamirsudri1]

Delete a few women? Give him 10 more years and a sex change Nd he would rise to the heavyweight championship in a year

Why no transmen want to compete in men sport

[@1398go]

That intro music….seriously…..

[@tjelehtinen]

I suppose the fundamental issue here is the irrefutable physiological advantage of transwomen who have transitioned after their male puberty. This advantage is in body composition, muscle mass, sceletal structure, strength, lung capacity etc. and does not disappear by T-blockers. These changes at puberty are irrevocable as they change the person fundamentally for good. Up to puberty, btw, girls and boys are pretty even in athletics sprinting events, for example. There is of course a minor T surges also at around 20 weeks in the womb in boys leading to development of the male genitalia and a T surge at around 3-4 years of age in boys, so it's not like the puberty is the only occasion when boys' development fundamentally differs from that of girls. As sports is highly competitive, the argument that there are men (and transwomen) who lose to female athletes is irrelevant. Of course there are such men and transwomen. When you compare likes for like the situation changes: let's take for example the 30th percentile in performance of men v. the 30th percentile of women, the men consistently overperform the women. The same is true with transwomen. 30th percentile of them overperforms 30th percentile of women exactly as men. This is biology, not a culture dependent construct. And as you might imagine, given the importance of sports in the society, much researched and well demonstrated by sports doctors and physiologists.

[@ericswift846]

There are NO transmen (used to be women) competing in mens sports. Why?

[@MT-qw3ou]

For a long time, women fought for equality with men UNLESS when men competes side by side. The argument should be can women ever be equal to men and at which platform? The transgender argument shows that men and women can never be equal biologically. The next question then is at which condition are women equal to men so that they can compete fairly? After the end of the day, we can find a common ground to agree why at some industry, men are paid at a higher wage and others when women are paid higher. Lets play at our strength instead of forcing equality into play.

Further, Joanna clearly states she'd only be comfortable with Floyd Mayweather competing post hormone treatment, not on self ID, and crucially, in the bit Piers misses by grandstanding, in a equal weight category.

No women heavy enough to compete in Mayweather's weight class? How big do you think Mayweather is? He's a welterweight - that's 145lbs.
