This is a normal post I'm absolutely for LGBT rights

Everyone is equal, no prejudice, etc.

However, I think the only exception should be in sports. Men who have the op and compete in women's sport have a clear unfair advantage. If I were a woman in that picture and had trained all my life I'd be pissed.

This is a normal post But imagine how it would be if you were the tall woman and you were forced to play alongside men.
Pretty demeaning for someone who has (more than likely) battled their way through quite a bit both from within and without.

You're not going to satisfy everyone either way.

This is a normal post Perhaps more demeaning for someone who has (more than likely) battled their way through quite a bit both from within and without and now has to compete against people who are biologically stronger than them.

This is a normal post Perhaps.
As I say, you're going to annoy people either way.

I've often wondered, when it comes to transgender people, which gender gives them more hassle.

This is a normal post You know what
they are probably doing the wrong thing. You don't spend your entire life doing something you feel really awkward and out of place for intentionally, surely? Fucking do something else, the sport shouldn't be molded around the gender anxieties of some genetically confused people.

I think there's bigger inequality hurdles to focus on before we look at trivial games.

This is a normal post Why do we have women only competitions anyway?
Perhaps all sports should be open to all entrants irrespective of gender. I realise those with a Y chromosome would pretty much win everything, but isn't that equality?

Oh, and the same should hold true for the paralympics natch.

This is a normal post I think we should just put everyone into appropriate categories.
E.g. we should test how fast our sprinters are, then make sure only people who can run exactly as fast as each other are allowed to compete against each other.

Maybe this is the human race's opportunity to examine the whole concept of competitive sports and conclude they're much less important, sensible or interesting than we had previously realised.

Can you imagine mixed gender Rugby? Even if players were categorised by weight/height/speed...it would be carnage.

This is a normal post If the only way they can maintain their gender is through chemicals
Then I'd say it's just another form of doping to be the best in that category.
