The difference there is that female athletes do not choose to be female. A transgender person, according to your personal politics, may not choose to be transgender, but taking hormones for a sex transition therapy is a choice. Female athletes should not be punished with unfair competition for that choice of hormone therapy upon a biological male.
- Dobbs 5y agoTrans people don't choose to be transgender. They choose to either deal with the almost certainly crippling gender dysphoria or to transition.
