Do you think transgender athletes should have their own sports divisions they compete in?
Yes. They need their own category. It’s not fair for them nor for the ones they’re competing against. It’s not fair for them because they will be slammed for winning and won’t be able to truly enjoy their win without controversy and it’s not fair for the others because they’ll end up holding resentment.
they need their own category for sure; I don’t know why the boards haven’t done so already. It’s ridiculous. (from a commenter)
How can we make it fair for transgender women to compete with other women in sports?
you Can’t make it fair.
here is a perfect example ! We have special olympics for those with disabilities! But we don’t let people with no disabilities participate in those events ! Similarly allowing a person who has had the advantage of growing up as a male ( biologically enhanced by testosterone hormones for years ) then getting a surgical alteration and taking more drugs to compete with female athletes that have not had the same amount of hormones to develop muscle and bones will never be fair , just as it would never be fair for those in the special Olympics to compete with someone who has no disabilities.
life if full of choices . We choose things all the time . Everything we choose has positive and negative outcomes. Choosing to have a surgeon remove your reproductive organ to say your a female comes with positive and negative consequences. One being your not a biologically a female and therefore should not be allowed to compete in women’s sports . It was a choice that you the person made , not other women and definitely not other athletic women who you now want to dominate because you know you have an advantage.
