Transgender sports persons?

[Darran]

Do you think a man that becomes a woman should be allowed to compete in women’s sport?

Just for the record I don’t.

 

[Monty]

Have you got controversial topic of the day bog paper or what?

Take a look at Ricky Gervais/Humanity on Netflix, and his take on Bruce/Caitlyn Jenner....fckn hilarious. Some up my thoughts on it.

No I have not there was a young lady on the Welsh news last night and I wondered what people’s thoughts were on it in general.

I don’t know, maybe there should be mixed sex competition and you could have categories - fastest man, fastest woman, fastest trans man, fastest trans woman?

I don’t know, maybe there should be mixed sex competition and you could have categories - fastest man, fastest woman, fastest trans man, fastest trans woman?

And the Olympics would last about 12 weeks??

Men are more muscular than women, hence the men's records are always better than the women's records.

I don't think transgenders should be allowed simply as they have an advantage based on their sex at birth.

 

[dickythorpe]

Was there a debate about testosterone levels?
If you are prone to producing more you hold an advantage as it obviously helps in increased muscle mass and aggression.

 

[Longlostjack]

Of course they should. Especially synchronized swimming, an event that men have been historically under- represented in through no fault of their own.

 

[BanosSwan]

No. There is no proper physiological argument to say that trans women won't have an advantage.

This lady 'folded an opposition player like a deckchair'.

As a man she left the sport as she couldn't handle the physicality.

The most important, intelligent and strong (mentally and emotionally) people in my life are women. Give me a few years of oestrogen and I'd still 'fold them like a deckchair' physically.

As I would this 'woman'.

The world has gone mad.
