World Athletics has decided to exclude transgender women who have gone through male puberty from female events.

The body's president, Lord Coe, said "decisive action" had been taken to "protect the female category in our sport".

Lord Coe told a news conference in Monaco: "The council has agreed to exclude male-to-female transgender athletes, who have been through male puberty, from female world ranking competitions from 31 March.

For the same reason as this ban there is no need to take opposite action.  The chances of a trans man being capable of competing with male pro level athletes is remote.

This has gotten way out of hand.  Boys, girls, men and women.   If there is a different group or groups, then fine.  I am all for it.   

Just create trans-athletics and break it into as many special categories as desired.  
We don’t have to destroy everything to prove our fealty to the Almighty and infallible Tolerance and Diversity.

Transgender GAA player Giulia Valentino has broken her silence after a controversy erupted when a referee said she couldn't continue playing because of her biological gender.

Speaking this week after the furore in July, she said she'd 'like to be remembered for leaving a legacy of inclusion for other transgender players'.

When Ireland's first openly LGBTQ+ club, Na Gaeil Aeracha, played Na Fianna's ladies E team in a game this summer, the referee paused play and told the captains there was 'a problem' with Na Gaeil's number 21 - 'the player is a man'.

I assume that's because they'd have no inherent advantage.

There are trans men that compete in sports but they tend to be far less controversial. 

Have you heard of Mack Beggs? A high school state wrestling champion. As a trans man he wanted to compete against other males. However, the rules meant he had to compete according to his gender at birth. He even reduced his testosterone to try to mitigate any advantage. He still beat everyone. And then had to endure accusations of cheating and even a court case over something that wasn't his doing.

I thought this a curious oddity. That rules made to protect female athletes from unfair competition end up giving another trans athlete an advantage that they didn't want. 

As for restrooms. In general, I don't think men really care about that.

Science has proven that males are naturally stronger than females. More muscle mass and larger bone structure. You can even tell the difference

when a male & female stand next to each other. But science is ignored to fit a narrative.

That's a different conversation. I agree with you but it's not really the point I'm making.

That photo is from over a year ago.  Trans women compete so rarely, it's always women that want to compete women's sport.

Doesn't matter if it's rare or not. Its cheating biological born women out of their chance. Why do you think men & women had their own sports to begin with.

Biological men have an advantage over women with their genetic makeup.

So by always you meant rarely; but, you can just say it doesn't matter because following the rules is cheating.

Words matter.  You don't get to redefine them.  Don't expect to get a pass when you misuse them.

As an anti-vaxxer now preaching science, you should learn the meaning of  "genetic makeup".  How did Usain Bolt's "genetic makeup" change throughoit his life?

And following your earlier "scientifical BS", learn how ADT changes a male's physiology.  It might be important to you one day.

What science do you stand with?

1. The science that draws conclusions based on the data.

2. The science that is politically controlled

That's quite a cheek of you.

You're not using science.

You follow the politics in every instance, not the science. What a joke that you would suggest otherwise. 

In fact everytime you quote science you stuff it. 

You quoting science is a dead set joke. Stop it. You haven't the foggiest what you're on about. Don't pretend you have a clue about something that you are indeed clueless about. 

Go back to chanting parables out of the bible. You don't make up convincing stuff.

https://www.reuters.com/article/factcheck-levinethomas-competitions-idUSL2N2VR1LQ

For example, Rachel Levine was not named sole woman of the year by USA Today, she was one of eleven USA Today Women of the Year ( here ).

Levine is the United States’ highest ranking openly transgender official.

University of Pennsylvania athlete Lia Thomas made history after becoming the first transgender NCAA swimming champion ( here ).

She won the women’s 500-yard freestyle in Atlanta. Thomas triumphed in a single category, so to claim she now dominates women’s swimming is misleading. The race she won was just one of 21 swimming and diving events listed in the 2022 Women's NCAA Division I Championships. Other competitors took the other titles. She isn’t listed under the records in the NCAA results summary, and ranks 6th among the top point scorers in swimming ( here ).

 

Ohh looky, the science. Fact checked. Thomas didn't dominate. What schock. I've only seen GD post that a about twenty times so it probably hasn't sunk in yet hey.

Here are two questions that you apparently can't answer - luckily, science can.

How does ADT affect genetics?

How does ADT affect physiology?
