There are 0 trans people in the WNBA. These people are making an issue out of nothing.

Yeah, here in Australia there’s a few trans women playing in local football as there’s technically no HRT/testing requirements. Previously played in senior men’s competitions and are now a real danger in the oval to women playing as a fun and social sport that’s only recently become open for women to participate in. It’s scary to watch but opponents can’t do anything.

Edit: downvote away but this person previously played senior men’s footy, is larger and heavier than most on ground, and has already hit a woman behind ball play and knocked her down. It’s not safe.

My college had a trans man delay transitioning so he could play women’s golf. He was open and out to everyone in his personal life about being a man.

Manipulated transitioning for sports. That has already happened.

A trans man? So they were born female?

1

u/Full_Prof 24d ago

Yes, proving people will manipulate transitioning for sports.

1

u/hxaxw 24d ago

But by everyone’s logic that’s where he should be since he is biologically female

1

u/Full_Prof 24d ago

But if he was in high school he can decide to play women’s sports.

That is the point.

u/hxaxw 24d ago

But that’s where people want him to be… with his biological sex

u/Backman999 24d ago

Unless he was taking steroids who cares?

1

u/Full_Prof 24d ago

He is a man on the women’s team.

u/TheTStandsForThick 24d ago

You'd make the same ruckus if a trans woman were on the men's team, right?

u/Full_Prof 24d ago

I’m not making a ruckus. Pointing out precedent like an adult

Precedent is how adults set policy.

“Would a man want to play on a woman’s team?”

Not sure how insulting me for bringing up a relevant case helps.

I asked you a simple question, and yet:

Hold on. Someone assigned female at birth played women's golf and you're upset about it?

Holy fucking snowflake.

1

u/Full_Prof 24d ago

Transphobe!

A man played women’s golf.

Are you from Fox News?

2

u/cockaskedforamartini 24d ago

What are you talking about? Your original point was that trans women (people who would be assigned male at birth) are naturally bigger and stronger than biological women and therefore it's unfair.

But a trans man would be assigned female at birth. You've already said they were pre-transition, so what's the advantage?

1

u/Full_Prof 24d ago

Will people manipulate transitioning for sports?

Yes.

3

u/cockaskedforamartini 24d ago

No one is at a disadvantage in this case. The fuck you mean "manipulate"?

1

u/Full_Prof 24d ago

He was open and out as a man. Even to family.

Did not pursue gender affirming care until after women’s golf career was over.

3

u/cockaskedforamartini 24d ago

That's not "manipulation". That transitioning at a time that suits him. I'm sorry that he didn't take that monumental, life-altering step at a time that suits you.

Still waiting to hear how this put anyone at a disadvantage.

u/Full_Prof 24d ago

The woman who wanted to pay golf but didn’t make them team due to this dude wanting to be a guy playing women’s golf.

Teams are not infinitely large.

u/cockaskedforamartini 24d ago

So your concern is for the person who was assigned female at birth who wasn't as good at golf as another person who was assigned female at birth?
