Topic	Is it really fair for MtF trans athletes to compete in women's sports?
MyPetKenshin 10/22/19 4:08:02 PM #85:	dancer62 posted... Since they have female hormones, they have female muscles. Seems fair. I'd guess they often have more bulk and longer bones than natal females, and less flexibility, so advantage or disadvantage, I don't know. I haven't knowingly sparred against a transperson in tournaments, but have gladly fought exhibition bouts against men when there aren't female opponents in my class. It's fine with me. Easier than some 200+ pound females I've fought (I'm 5'1 140) 1. Female hormones dont give you female muscles. A MtF trans individual still has larger and denser muscles than a female. 2. Anybody can call themselves trans. They dont actually have to have gone through surgery or even taken hormones. And depending on the rules of the sport, they can still compete while being largely considered a male biologically. 3. You mustve sparred against some weak males, because your experience is extremely specific and anecdotal. Im 6 foot tall, 245 pounds with no formal training in self defense or martial arts. But I guarantee you if we got into a ring together, youd walk away injured. Youre actually doing more harm to women than you realize by downplaying whats going on here. --- Check out my shirts: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07XC3H166 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07PJ4KP39 <cite>MyPetKenshin posted [p:929103163] in Is it real...
