Trans people & sports

[I_am_not_mafia]

Okay, tongue out of cheek now.  I have no idea if it is fair for trans women to compete in women's sports events.   Of course one could question whether there is such a thing as 'regular' women.  Some are born with just one x chromosome and others with three of them, while the majority have two x.  Should sports authorities concern themselves with such differences?  Should there be different events for them?  Then there are the chromosomal male persons whose bodies do not respond to the presence of testosterone in the usual way and so physically present as female.  Do they compete with men, with women or in their own event?  Then there are the many other ways things can work out known as inter-sex.  At some point don't you just have to say "well, fuck it"?  If you look and feel like a woman, maybe that just has to be good enough.

That was what I was (badly) trying to get at. Genes aren't that the sole determinant about how someone should be classified. Why no call for separare competitions for anyone vaguely intersexual?

So, your position is that it's just a coincidence that ftm trans aren't setting the same kind of records?

How do you know they haven't already in the past? And what's stopping a cisgendered woman from taking testosterone with no intention on transitioning but to gain an unfair advantage?
