  • Thanks, for any of this argument to hold any water it has to be demonstrated that trans athletes have any sort of advantage.

    This is reminding me of something I just watched, the 30 for 30 about Oscar Pistorius. One of the paraathletes they interviewed commented on how welcoming and excited everyone was when Oscar started competing outside of the paraathletic events. It was only once he demonstrated that he could beat “able bodied” athletes that people started getting pissy. This guy also pointed out the disadvantages that running prosthetics introduce, but people only focus on the fact that the running prosthetics conserve momentum better than human ankles do.

    At the end of the day, most every sport isn’t fair. You need time, money, luck, the right coaches, mentors, I could go on and on.
