Yeah, because what does Michael Phelps know about swimming anyhow. I will defer to you from now on to get my knowledge about swimming and sports.
I'm not shitting on trans people. Trans women are women. Like Michael Phelps ex said, "It can't be a woman's sport if it doesn't include all women, period." I agree. Which is why I am of the opinion that "women's" sports shouldn't be a thing. Instead, bio male and bio female sports should take their place.

Trolling this thread isn't going to win you any points.
Apparently you never learn from past experience.
Not a shock to me but act like you have some sense for a change.

What do you mean trolling? Is Michael Phelps trolling too and not allowed to have an opinion about his own sport?

It's not so much your first post on the subject. It's you passive-aggressive on the second one...but you know that. Asshole.

What about bio men and bio women who fall way outside of the average for their biological sex? Where do they belong?

Micheal Phelps isn't a scientist he has no comprehension of the research on this. Because he's a swimmer means nothing.

Phelps has a very long torso and 'short' legs
Swimmers tend to have longer torsos and shorter legs than the average person. Standing at 6 feet 4 inches, Phelps has the torso of a man who’s 6 feet 8 inches tall… and the legs of a man 8 inches shorter.
This disproportionately large chest enables Phelps to power himself through the water. It also means his legs produce less drag (or water resistance) with each stroke.
Wingspan is the distance from fingertip to fingertip when your arms are stretched out to your sides. The average person’s wingspan is about the same as their height. Phelps’ wingspan is three inches longer than his height (6 feet 7 inches versus 6 feet 4 inches), according to The Telegraph.
A longer wingspan means your arms can reach farther. When winning a race is the matter of a fraction of a second, even a small advantage in wingspan can make a big difference.
The swimmer's legs resemble flippers
Phelps specializes in butterfly, and dolphin kick is essential to a powerful stroke. It looks just like you’d imagine, with a swimmer propelling himself through the water in a dolphin-like motion. Up to 90 percent of thrust in dolphin kick comes from the feet and ankles.
Like many swimmers, Phelps has hyperextended joints — but his double-jointed ankles bend 15 percent more than his rivals. Paired with his size-14 feet, his legs act like flippers, thrusting him through the water.
Phelps is also hyper-jointed in the chest. That means he can kick from his chest instead of just his ribs, giving him more force with each stroke, according to former Olympian Mark Tewksbury.
Whadayaknow...Phelps falls outside the norm in a way that makes swimming the sport for him. Is that falling way outside the average for his bio sex?

The term I learned was "different" vs "opposite". The world's shortest man can stand between the legs of the world's tallest woman with room to spare. There are plenty of women that I wouldn't want to tangle with, even in my prime.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
