    Im all for Trans rights however Im not sure I agree with biological males competing against women and/or girls in sports. As a male if take performance enhancing drugs you are disqualified at most levels.
    If I can be convinced there is zero advantage then I would be fine with it?

    LeBron has a clear biological advantage over me for playing in the NBA. Id like all people that tall and athletic disallowed so that I can compete more fairly.

    If you are going to mix sports and genders.....I don't think it's an even playing field.....how will you address boxing? Will a transgendered male be punching a female in the face? That won't end well...no matter how the athlete self identifies...should a transgendered male take a job from an WNBA player because they are 7' tall and can dunk the ball? China got busted for using males in female sporting events in Olympic competition if I remember correctly....

    No, never.

    But that may very well be because I see it as an issue of sex (male or female), rather than gender.

    When someone says they are all for _____ rights but, they aren't all for.

    Please learn something about the subject.

    What's there to learn on this particular subject? I mean, really? Trans (former) females competing in most sports against men is ludicrous. Now, if it's chess, then I get it. ;)

    Speaking of 9-dimensional chess, should trans Trump fans be allowed to participate in violent insurrections, @ABM ?

    The question is do they have an advantage?

    I'm all for ______rights but also take into consideration physiology and hormonal conditions....as I said...do you think a 7ft muscle bound transgendered former male should get in a boxing ring with a female boxer and trade punches? Personally I don't....and it's not cultural..it's physiological....I understand hormone therapy tries to counter that somewhat but in sports...testosterone is an advantage.

    Im 70's year old now but when I was playing college baseball I would have been all for a lady being on the team if should could make the cut.
    There are tremendous women athletes and I watch all the women sports and enjoy it immensely.
    Again, do you think a bio male would have an advantage in women's sports.
    There are many women that do think so, are they wrong?
