    So it will never be an issue? Can you be sure of that?

    Why are you using single anecdote examples as if they’re universal?

      Biological women beating biological men more than a tiny fraction of a percent of the time in any physical related sports? Yes, I can be sure of that. That’s literally why womens sports exists in the first place - because it would be unfair for them to compete with men.

      Did you know that the NFL isn’t a male football league? It’s actually open to all sexes. Women can play in the NFL. There has never been a woman make an NFL team. Same with many big sporting leagues. One woman, Lauren Silberman, actually got a tryout as a kicker a few years back:

        I see, so as long as it’s only a fraction of a percent of the time, it’s okay.

        Well, that’s true in women’s sports as well.

          It’s not true in women’s sports though. Basically every time a trans woman competes they’re finishing up the top.

                  All of the trans women that are winning all the women’s sporting events that they compete in.

                  A 49 year old trans woman got bronze in a track and field race the other day, beating women that are in the prime of their careers. Forty. Nine. Years. Old.

                    One example is not indicative of an overall trend.

                    Again, can you demonstrate that it is all?
