    Every female athlete I've discussed this with has been opposed.

    Do you actually think this is good competition?

    Well this shouldn't be a problem with most on here. Females (except livestock) have been phased out of all your lives (and your mom's basements) for years anyway. You'll adapt. #BAM

    Funny. Not sure about everyone else, but I live in a household of myself and 5 women...

    Are Trans women, women?

    If they are, then it shouldn't matter.

    Not sure. Can something made of latex identify as female?

    I'd prefer to not have a "former male" compete with my daughter on the pitch. Just my opinion.

    I don't think that's a consideration with regards to competition.

    Sure it is. Women are women, aren't they?

    If you don't allow them to compete as women, then they aren't women.

    I'm not allowed to compete in the NBA. Doesn't mean I'm not a man. Shaq isn't allowed to compete in men's college basketball... Doesn't mean he's not a man.

    It just means we're not elligable to compete at that level.

    Why are you not allowed to compete in the NBA? Because you don't have the skillset? That's a completely different concept. You ARE allowed to compete, you are just not good enough.

    Because I'm not eligible. No team would draft me or give me a contract.

    It wouldn't help the league to have me there. It would be a shit show.

    You are still eligible.

    But Shaq isn't eligible to play in college. Neither is anybody who has played professionally.

    We have rules set up to encourage competition.

    You cannot discriminate based on a person's gender.
