Just has to be tough for transgender people because what they feel mentally is opposite of what is going on physically. It has to be a difficult place to be sometimes.
Well spoken.

Every time this topic comes up I cannot help but think of Kramer from Seinfeld "Dominating the Dojo".

There is a reason there are weight classes, gender and age divisions in various sports and it is basic competitive advantage.

So you only believe in 47 genders when it’s convenient??

They are either women or not.

It's funny that we never hear about transgender males being an issue in men's sports. That's because they don't stand a chance in hell at competing with real men, no matter how much testosterone they're on.

Are you saying that the assistant health secretary is not a woman?

Don`t transgender`s have any pride. They should be embarrassed to want to compete against women. Start your own sports.

Women who are into sports are generally physically superior to most men.

I also agree with it related to sports.

I do not think that Transgender people should be discriminated against with regards to medical benefits, marriage, or using a bathroom. That stuff is all blatant anti-Trans agenda, but I think it's fair to expect someone to give up competitive, gender-specific sports. Let's forget about their trans-gender status for a minute, and just look at all the hormone therapy and other medications and operations they had to endure to get to be a legit woman. To go through all that, I would assume, should disqualify them under anti-doping terms.

Honestly, I'd prefer to see that angle taken. Really I don't care about their identity, that is a personal matter. But it's not right to compete when you have an advantage that everyone else is banned from.

Very tough situation, and this is one of the only related issues where I might be viewed as Anti-Trans (which I am not).
