Thank you! And to bolster the argument I point to the fact that there are a plethora of records that were set by trans women but I've never heard of a single one by a trans man. Where are the scholarship opportunities being taken away from men because a trans man beat them in the regionals etc? The nuttiest part about this is that is she's all "Is there an unfair advantage? Yes there is but it doesn't matter because sports are unfair anyway". What?! What's the point of looking into the science if the answer is the same no matter what?

This video makes no sense to me. She outlines that trans women clearly do have an advantage, but that it doesn't matter because people are born with different genetics?! Well then what's the point of trying to figure out the science of the debate if it doesn't matter anyway because your answer is the same no matter what the science says? Yeah, some people are just born athletically gifted. Born. They didn't change genders to get that artificially. We can into the weeds about laser eye surgery or Tommy John surgery, but I think those are a different debate altogether.

@cwtrex Not all sports are televised for money. This affects regional qualifier rankings for scholarships etc. This can really negatively affect women.

If she was against trans women having an advantage (as this video clearly proves they do in most sports), that makes her a radical feminist, especially if she's only trans exclusionary when it comes to athletics. I'm curious how you get from A to B there.

@johantoong4357 Here's the rub: the sports world won't admit there's an unfair advantage. That's the biggest red flag ever.

@anna♡ Good point.

Her perspective made zero sense. Her conclusion was that people are born genetically different anyway so it doesn't matter. What's the point in diving into the data if your answer is gonna be the same either way? I've never seen someone objectively get to a conclusion, only to throw that out the window and say "Yeah but it doesn't matter".
