If you think this is bullshit, just remember that in the past people would Take strychnine to have better performance in marathons.

- devwastaken 4y agoWhile bad things happen everywhere, that is not an accurate representation of the issue in a wider scope. It would be like saying water is bad because some water harms people. The "community" does not agree with forcing anyone to transition.
- wizofaus 4y agoI'd like to think there won't be cases of pre-pubescent boys with talent and ambitions in a particular sport who are also going through a phase of gender identity questioning being pressured in such a way (and specifically I mean gender-reassignment treatment/surgery), but it seems a bit naive to assume it won't happen at all. I can only hope it was taken into consideration when handing down the ruling.

- devwastaken 4y agoResearch how transitioning actually works. You don't just declare your gender and get into a pro sports team. Trans isn't new, you can find plenty of references to it in movies from the 80's even. You just didn't see it until the internet brought information to everyone everywhere.
