Reality: Trans athletes have been competing in sports for decades without issue. Organizations like the International Olympic Committee, International Powerlifting Federation, the International Weightlifting Federation, the NCAA, the Olympics, and the Minnesota State High School League, all have policies allowing trans athletes to compete. ########## There’s no scientific evidence that the average trans athlete is any bigger, stronger, or faster than the average cis athlete. Trans women are women. Different athletes have advantages over one another all of the time. Athletic performance depends on many complicated factors: access to better coaches and facilities; money to pay for nutritionists, recovery services; and many others. At the highest levels of sport, physical characteristics can only get you so far — you also need serious technical skill, training and access to resources. ########## Trans women are not always stronger or bigger than cis women. Additionally, there are many indicators that contribute to success in sport, including control, finesse, agility, technique, or depth perception (stereopsis) in order to win Source: genderjustice -> Get the Facts: Trans Equity in Sports

And: "The results at the Olympics and other major sporting events back this up. For the very few trans women who have competed in sport at the elite level, there’s been no domination over cis women. Trans women may occasionally win, but they have never broken a world record, or won an Olympic event. If anything, trans women seem very much on an even playing field with their cis counterparts." "It’s also worth pointing out that the cohort of trans girls who transitioned before going through male puberty is only going to increase as more transgender people are able to transition earlier. For example, in 2017 in Australia, a law was overturned in the courts that had required all under 18 trans youth to go to court to be able to access puberty blockers or hormones from their doctor. Although there’s still a long way to go, increased access to gender affirming care for kids means that the issue itself is very likely to get smaller over time."

Also: Notably, the data to date do not include evidence of athletic advantage from historical puberty among transgender women while on standard testosterone-lowering regimens for multiple years. It is possible that larger physical stature may be an advantage for some sports. It is also possible that a person with larger stature from a typical male puberty but with smaller muscle mass due to a testosterone-lowering regimen might suffer an athletic disadvantage.

Furthermore, here's the consequence of transphobic laws: "Described as a talented and hard-working athlete, Mack has won state championships in women’s wrestling – but says this has come at the cost of his own mental health. The documentary shows the cruel irony of crowds heckling him, while parents and spectators attack him for competing in a category he himself doesn’t want to be in."

@AquaCoalaNest "They have the right to compete, the question is should they have the right to compete in women's only league? " Let us see what the sports results say about it, shall we?

@AquaCoalaNest But let me guess... results in sport events arre not important to demonstrate the results in sport events. Right?

@AquaCoalaNest "if your ideology is not supported by science - then just disregard it" So pointing out facts is an ideolody now?

That's actually not a bad idea. There might or might not be sports what operate completly different for men and women, but even if there is doesn't mean that all sports do.
