Don't even need to watch it, to know its not fair. Transgender people wanted to be treated fairly and I get that. But there is a major disconnect in the thought process here. It's one thing to identify as another gender. And a another thing to benefit from blah blah blah... You know the story..

Biologists have stated that men's bodies have stronger bone density and structure, along with the ability to create more muscle naturally.

It's total science, a combo of hormones and enzymes that make men physically stronger than women.

There is no equality here when a former-male runs or wrestles or power lifts their way to a win against women.

I feel sorry for any girl like the one in this story who trains for hours a day, years of her life, only to get beat by a herm.

So if on a girls team they test a girl for "supplements" and testosterone shows up, she is banned for doping. Shouldn't the same apply to trans?

Just watched it. Insanity.

Just watched it. Insanity.

That girl in the video was super brave because I have no doubt that she became a target of the whole LGBT community after this came out, being labeled a 'transphobe' and a bigot.

A million years ago I'm on holidays with the parents and watching the 1976 summer Olympics. I was 10.

During the swimming competitions the East German woman's team was crushing the competition.

Right before one race began, the women were all lined up on the starting platforms and Little hal notices the broad shoulders and bulges of some of the women swimmers and asks:

Hey Dad, how come those men are swimming with the other ladies?

:lol: much mirth from the rest of my family over the comment

Flash forward 20 years and some of those athletes admitted to not only heavy hormone doping, but near lab experimentation from the coaches/scientists in Germany. Some of them developed chest hair and enlarged feet along with obscene muscle growth in their upper bodies.

One quote was something like - We were as close to men as a human could be, after being born with vaginas.

Now I'm not so sure because of idiotic decisions like the one above.
