Hahahahaha, until now they yelled in all directions that trans should have equal rights as the sex they identify with, now they complain that trans win their prizes and contests. The irony is strong

Transgender women need to have their own Olympic category. I know it still separates then from natural born women, but their bodies natural testosterone gives them unfair advantage over natural born women.
I'm all for equality, but there comes a time when you need to face facts and not let your feelings encroach upon the rights of others
its not even really a rights thing. Its just how sports categories work. With a lot of things you dont even put people of the same sex in the same category if one is extremely differently built than the others like the weight classes in boxing.
People don’t like to accept biological factors. For example, most white people never have to worry about sickle cell anemia, but people of African descent do. We are NOT all the same, as our fucking genetics differ. Why do people ignore science for the sake of social “progress”? Trans women are still women as far as I am concerned, but I, too, believe the natural testosterone is an absolute unfair advantage...due to biology. It just baffles me how much biology is just shoved under the rug these days.
It's not only the testosterone. Men have a much higher bone density which allows them to withstand greater weights for example. Something no amount of hormones will change. Yeah definitely not the same.
I know DC Douglas was over the moon, but I was already unhappy when we started facing the end of womens' restrooms.

Keeping trans out of womens' sports isn't about denying them equal rights.
this isnt a very popular opinion, but maybe we should divide sports up based on physical ability. sure, maybe some women would have to compete with men, but equality right?
there's been pushes to have cis women in mens sports for ages or more accurately to just divide things based on physical strength and build like in boxing but without gender/sex divide.
They run in standstills because of how different male and females bodies are put together. Even given the same weight class, in strength, men vastly out perform women. They have struggled to find some way to classify athletes that allow them to separate them. But since the whole point is to perform at the peak of your physical ability such distinction can only be made after the events when you see how they perform. So you can see how difficult it is when you can only divide by performance and you end up back at square one.
