Do they realize that it's not only hormones ? There is a reason why you can tell appart men and women just by looking at their bones. Men and women have different body and hormones won't change your bones shape. The shape of the muscle are different too, since the bones aren't the sames, so are the muscles who link them. Also men have bigger organs than women, bigger lungs and bigger hearts, which make for more oxygen for the muscles and given more quickly thanks to the faster blood flow. That can't be changed with hormones. And whatever they do, they'll be at an unfair advantage because of those traits they were born with.

There are plenty of females who have more testosterone than males so the "males are stronger" line is not entirely accurate. Also, it's been proven that a person's sex does not determine their gender. These males are not only women, they are having hormone therapy which is shrinking their testosterone level and causing their estrogen level to rise. And, finally, it is illegal to refuse someone the opportunity to be on a sports team that fits their gender, as long as they met the requirements at tryouts.

William Baric- Lol ,but the question is what will get rid of them I understand that people will always have different opinions but if someone's opinion can be disproven with facts and they don't listen to those facts, then that's being delusional. And it doesn't effect me of weather they know the truth or not but if they keep spreading their ideas to the next generation. Then society will become some sort of MAN HATE society. Which is not a society I want me,my future son, or daughter to live in.

[@jiminverness]

So...can any man take testosterone reducers and compete in women's events (without nominally declaring transwomanhood)? If not, why not?

[@christiantheologyunited3707]

Jim Inverness Because they are men, and testosterone isn’t the only advantage

[@chandrabankston7953]

What is the unfair advantage that males have over females: TESTOSTERONE This really isn’t a debate since the Government, World Athletic Council and Scientist are well aware that transgender females still retain the physiology of their male biological gender. Testosterone levels affect everything in males from the reproductive system and sexuality to muscle mass and bone density. How is this fair? Male physiology cannot be reformatted by estrogen therapy in transgender athletes because testosterone has created permanent effects through early life exposure. Inborn male physiological advantages lead to superior athletic performance. Hormone therapy fails to completely recreate a female-like physiology in the male. Ultimately, the former male physiology of transgender athletes provides them with a physiological advantage over the female athlete. Again how is this fair? ‘Testosterone is one of many factors involved in the development of muscle bulk and strength. Testosterone increases neurotransmitters, which encourages tissue growth. It also interacts with nuclear receptors in DNA, which causes protein synthesis. Testosterone increases levels of growth hormone. That makes exercise more likely to build muscle.’ (See: Established facts) In other words, the transgender (fe)male still maintains the physiology of a male. Therefore, they are cheating non-transgender women out of a fair competition with other women like them in sports. This agenda is socially established by discrimination, and intolerance of the original physiology of women. Instead of establishing your own pathway by virtue of who you are in your human existence; you shove aside the human experience of another human being. A female human being that most transgender persons were born from: Physiologically Born Females. Stop trying to control and rearrange the unique female human being into a man made image of what a female should be. STOP TRYING TO BE WHO WE ARE AND BE YOURSELF. Because who you are not is a woman.

Yes, "sexism". It's why women fight for centuries so they can legaly compete against men, in this men society, and be treated equally and not as fake athletes to insult and discourage because they are too much muscled and they have to stay beautiful and fragile to be pretty to serve men. Right ?

[@steved8714]

@@Pipooizon Ya but women generally can't compete with men in anything except maybe endurance sports. Men are genetically stronger, faster, have faster twitch muscles and coordination. It's the same reason why the Olympic womens hockey team competes against 15 year old boy highschool teams(and often lose)

[@meaninbaby_xox6122]

Arguments that other women should be happy about this “I would just not say that it’s not fair” “I would just be happy for them coz they’re doing what they want & that in turn should make them happy” “I would say they’re brave & they’re just different from everybody” “They should just run faster”

“ It would just push me to .. run faster” your literal bodies are DIFFERENT. The fastest woman will never beat the fastest man because of how different their bodies are. It’s basic biology.

[@dragonofepics7324]

Taking estrogen does eventually cause testosterone to go down, but it doesn’t affect them having higher amounts of fast twitch muscles than girls, it doesn’t widen the pelvis, it doesn’t make their shoulders smaller etc. There’s physics involved in running, and they still have male skeletons. Testosterone may widen the frame and change a lot of things, but estrogen does not have nearly as big an effect as testosterone does. The physical benefits from testosterone don’t go away.

[@Pipooizon]

Well it is a good point. The second point to know about it is that a lot of trans women have actually less testosterone than the average level of cis women, wich means their muscles heal a bit less. But they tend to be taller, and heavier, so it asks more effort to heal properly. There is aslo a gap of knowledge about transfeminine people in matter of sport performances, and if we take only the exemples of the winning ones to show them as "the threat"... well, maybe it is just competition and fear of loosing against newcomers. Being a trans woman can be an advantage in some sports, as being born in Sweden can be for some others.

[@hankscorpion]

in other words, it doesn't make them women.

[@Pipooizon]

@@hankscorpion it doesnt make them cisgender women. It makes them transgender women, assigned male at birth. Both are women. Gender is a social construct, and sex is also a binary social construction wich is an outdated view of biology trying to create two strictly "opposite" categories, since it is more realistic to talk about some kind of graduate range of sexes, varying from one reproductive strategy (a few of big and selective gametes : the ovule type) progressively to an other (numerous and very little gametes : spermarozoid type). Knowing that "biological sex" is differents than "gender". We must also mention transmasculine people (men and non binary people assigned female at birth) and non binary transfeminine people, who are in this debate.

[@hankscorpion]
