@rainkidwell2467 Don't be ridiculous. Within ANY demographic group, there are variations and outliers, be it youth athletes, sumo wrestlers, males, females, etc. The purpose of classes is to create the most level playing field. The fact taht within ANY sporting demographic, your physical attributes made you a loser is a simple reality of life. However, consistently, the demographic "biological male" outperforms the demographic "biological female" in non stamina sports. Yes, there will be high performing females and poor performing males - irrelevant.
As for your unique set of circumstances, which represents a fraction of a fraction of a percent, I don't know enough about YOUR specific condition to have much of an opinion. If you have an intersex condition, that is not what is generally considered as trans. But even if it IS what mainstream people consider trans, the vast majority of trans people DO go through puberty as their birth gender.
It would be like having a conversation about racism and me saying "I'm a 6 fingered, 2% Samoan, 5% Hawaaiin 9 foot tall African American - what's your policy on me?" Your circumstances are so unique that people better educated than me on the subject would have to comment.
I have NEVER suggested that trans women would beat every professional athlete - stop fabricating straw men to knock down. But as a DEMOGRAPHIC, after FULLY transitioning, a 10th percentile former male, will have unquestionable advantage in a majority of sports, against the 10th percentile of biological women. It would be moronic to suggest that a man who was bottom of his sport could suddenly start beating elite female athletes. That WOULD be misogynistic, and as a man who has taught several local level elite female martial artists, I would never be so patronising.
None of which addresses MY original points, that dismissing people who are not convinced about trans issues as "transphobe" is a despicable poisoning of the well. People can have different opinions, or even be ignorant without being phobic.
