I understand a transgender's pain and transition. I know two women that are transitioning and becoming men. One of them has even had her mastectomies and is waiting for surgery to create a penis.
I don't understand letting two physically stronger transgender sprinters compete against highschool girls
I also don't like that some random guy can now say that that he identifies as a female and goes in and showers and dresses in a woman's dressing room
So guys beat girls in a women’s race. Why do people aid and abet mental illness?
Height and weight only, those with similar levels of training but with testosterone at around 5'9" 150 lbs with it will probably beat Serena Williams at tennis
Interesting anecdote.
My college roommate was a tennis player. He was on his HS tennis team. They were a mediocre team and he was a median player on that team.
He was exactly evenly matched with his female friend. She was on a multi year state champ team and personally placed 2nd or 3rd (Forget which but it was not first) state champ one year in HS.
I read the article and it actually changed my viewpoints... Yes, they have an advantage but it is not an exclusive advantage in that other competitors may have other advantages as well... Michael Phelps may be built for swimming but we don't exclude him from swimming even though he technically has an unfair advantage against others... Transgender athletes have an advantage but that is not the only advantage that exists in sprints... We shouldn't exclude people because of advantages...
I worry about the number of kids that are doing this and will later regret it. Can you imagine the “why did you let me do that? I was a kid.” This IS going to happen to a good number of them.

If a dolphin will come and say that he is a man, can we allow him to participate in the swimming competition?
Well, if the guy identifies as a female, he would not be attracted to females like a hetero male would be? so he wouldnt really get any 'jollies' from being in a girls locker room.
Actually I think if they made him use the boys locker room, he would make the boys feel more uncomfortable, because he identifies as a female, that means, he would be attracted to boys, so allowing him in a boys locker room would be creepy.

That’s crap. There is no comparison from that to this. Biological boys have skeletal and muscular differences that no amount of hormones will change.

And "political science" says so what. To get the world we want the future Serena Williams will no longer be a champion she will just have to accept second place to the former Richard Raskind who made a transition.

I'm going to sue our local high school woman's soccer team for not allowing me, a 46 year old man, to play with them, shower with them, celebrate with them. I do consider myself a 13 year old girl and this is how I identify myself. I will even change my body to make sure I get to change in the same locker room, etc...
Sounds a little creepy doesn't it?
