But why would they make such a distinction? If it’s a contest for women, all women should be allowed to compete. What does it matter if they are trans or cis?
In this case it’s ok (IMO), trans or not, they should be able to participate. But a hill I’m willing to die on is that when it comes to sports, only trans women who got blockers before puberty should be able to participate.
This argument keeps coming up and yet there has yet to be a single trans woman athlete who significantly out competes the completion. It’s always pointing to someone who like trains every day of their life and gets 7th place or some shit. Once it was even like 1000th place in a race (which have no genuine competition after, like, 10th place)
Not to mention we’re deep down the path of banning blockers in most places, and even if they remain legal in specific left leaning pockets, that just creates a group of people who lucked into not being banned from sports.
