Topic | Can we have a civil discussion about transgender MTF competing in women's sports |
Robot2600 03/18/22 3:58:43 PM #35: | Hoodroar posted... But women would still almost never win anything. Even trans women notably underperform the scores they had prior to transitioning. if that's the case, then my idea sucks. i think it would have the opposite effect, though. the average height of a WNBA player is 6'0'' if we allowed men under 6'0'' tall to play in the WNBA would the men have a competitive advantage? I don't think so. do men who weigh exactly the same (or even a little less to compensate for boobs being "dead fighting weight"), and are the same height as said women have a significant combat advantage? imagine a woman your weight and height and she also does MMA, would she not utterly destroy you? that's why it's not uncommon to hear about girls on high school wrestling teams: they are competing in a weight class, and even if there might be some disadvantages, the competition is still meaningful as a result one problem with this system might be a lack of players, but that hasn't stopped wrestling, plus more people (i.e. smaller) would get to compete in sports that they could never compete in. --- ( o _o) ...
