Yeah it’s never about trans men because it’s not about trans, it’s about male advantages. But I think trans men competing against cis women is an even bigger deal if they’re taking testosterone bc they’re literally roided up females. I think there should be a cis woman only league because they’re the only people who haven’t experienced male levels of testosterone which permanently changes the body

My mistake. I am familiar with that joke. I just know that I’ve seen a ton of people unironically and seriously saying that it’s ok for males to compete with females because Michael Phelps and LeBron James have physical advantages over other males, too.

Sure there are individual differences, but males and females are different classes when it comes to athletic performance. https://www.reddit.com/r/dataisbeautiful/comments/4vcxd0/almost_all_men_are_stronger_than_almost_all_women/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x The average male is much stronger than the average female. It’s a bell curve, and these difference are more pronounced when you compare the extreme ends of the bell curves, where the athletes reside.

As of a year ago, there have only been 34 WNBA dunks ever (24 by Brittany Griner). Meanwhile, 5’7” Spud Webb dunked over 7’7” Manute Bol.

We can’t sanitize everything. Sometimes it really feels like there’s a push more toward “doubleplus ungood”. Not everything needs to be scrutinized and under the microscope
