    Trans women have been competing in female sports for years and years, before 2016 and 2018 rule changes with regards to T levels (that no trans woman will have trouble meeting since their actual T level requirement is super high anyway) How come it wasn’t the end then?

      Because there weren’t many of them. No one thinks any random trans woman is going to destroy all biological women. That’s just not the way it works. For example, 100% of female athletes would destroy my fat male ass in just about any sport.

      But we’ve already seen specific sports dominated by specific trans women. Indoor cycling (Rachel McKinnon) and MMA (Fallon Fox) come to top of mind. We’ve seen amateur male powerlifters throw on a wig and call themselves a woman and smash olympic records in women’s sports.

      As trans women in general as well as trans women in sports becomes more and more accepted, that will continue to happen, until women’s sports are ended altogether.

      Simply put, if you deny that men are overwhelmingly better than women at sports, you’re putting feelings over facts. And only the feelings of one small group and ignoring the feelings of a much larger group.
