I usually say "Live and let live" but there needs to be a separate classification. Transwomen have bigger cardiovascular systems and greater upper body strength giving an unfair advantage.

I always found it interesting how the trans boys keep playing on the women's teams (or mens if they want) and nobody really has a problem there.

Then when people logically have concerns about trans women playing on womens teams with obvious biological advantages suddenly we're trans-phobic bigots.

Possibly. One solution might be to let them compete, but not trophy.

Yep. And many women think women are better than men at everything, including athletics or activities that require physical strength. There shouldn't be special teams/leagues just for women. Of course, when confronted with this reality, feminists stumble and blubber because they know that hard facts conflict with their agenda. I'm sure some leftist apologists will arrive in this thread shortly to defend yet another example of their cognitive dissonance.

Nah, there should be either open competition or a separate category.

A better question is: why do we allow athletic ability to guide higher education funding? Oh yeah, because higher education institutions were never just about education.

Women's gymnastics is very different from men's. It might be difficult for men to fit in, in the first place.
