If a trans woman became the world champion in bubble blowing you'd hear some shit about male saliva density and lip stiffness - March 21, 2022
When we get a trans Miss America, we'll read about how the male body is better at female western beauty standards because of shoulder density or something.
They have complained about that before with trans people in beauty pageants
"Broad masculine shoulders are better able to support large breasts, keeping them naturally lifted and perky"
I think trans models are Miss Universes which outrank a single country
The kicker: The champion they targeted for "stealing" the victory isn't even trans.
Terfs just making shit up to fit a narrative
the listed events include hot-dog eating, under-14 irish dance, the manufacturing institute's step ahead award and a video game where you run a soccer team
Just goes to show that it is not and has never been about alleged biological advantages, and is purely about excluding trans women from the category of women.
It already is fair. Trans people are under represented in sports, and mediocre male athletes (after transitioning) are mediocre female athletes. Many cis women have higher T levels then transwomen are even allowed to have (in some leagues at least).
The real question is do we separate out women with pcos, because they are over represented in women's sports and have higher T levels. They actually have an advantage, but I haven't seen any news stories about it.
real question is do we separate out women with pcos,
Idk, probably not? Sounds kinda bad. Plus segregation by hormone levels might be deeply silly. Also pcos kinda sucks?
It wasn't a serious question, I was just pointing out the the things people fear about trans women in sports (higher T levels and "taking over" from other women) are already kinda applicable to another group of women I don't see any fear mongering over. Separating either group out would be silly.
Yea I probably should have reworded it, when I posted it I wondered if my tone was clear enough.
I don’t think there’s been a notable instance of a trans athlete blazing through the finish line or dunking on Cameron Brink. They finish in like 5th places in races and then the women who finish in even worse spots seethe lol
