Again, this is a garbage transphobic argument. It leads to people questioning the woman-ness of even cis women who are good at sport. We already have problems where women with naturally higher testosterone than usual are banned from competing[1] or salty parents calling for an investigation into a child's gender because their kids got beaten in sports[2]. TERF shit like this hurts all women.

- koonsolo 4y agoOk, so people born female are out of top sport. Noted.
- _zn02 4y agoThey're already out of top sport by virtue of not being able to compete against people who are actually at the top of the sport. Really we should be coming up with better ways to divide "top sport" than gender. Weight class, for example. Or just skill level/rankings regardless of gender and stop acting like #1 in both things is the same.
- iamevn 4y agoIf you look at the link I provided above you'll see an actual real example of top athletes "born female" who are being kicked out of competitions because of the exact shit that gets put in place to prevent hypothetical trans athletes from competing.
