Trans people & sports

[Edwardo Piet]

I couldn't beat the crap out of a woman in an MMA fight. Hormone replacement pulls my muscle mass down to the same as the average woman, and I don't have that level of training. I think you've clearly misunderstood how transitioning works.

Don't expect me to argue with you very long, though. I already know how biased you are in particular, and this is already a tired topic to me.

Muscle mass is hardly the only issue. Bone structure is larger, bone density is bigger. It's not some random coincidence that a trans person smashed all the women's weightlifting records. Anybody can see the obvious advantages to having been a man and transitioning post puberty. To deny that is to deny science and reality.

So you're transphobic for the same reason as someone wanting to ban black people from sports is racist.
