White athletes like Phelps who have unusual body types are praised, but these women are literally banned. ...but that's what's going to start happening when you begin to change the rules. They have to make arbitrary cutoffs to avoid abuse, and unfortunately some people who would have had a natural advantage will get banned as a result. So ironically enough, guidelines designed to promote inclusion will sometimes exclude cisgendered women.

Oddest thing about him is his legs are pretty short It is like saying it is unfair to have tall basketball players. At the highest levels, sports weed out the body types that don't fit That's not what they're talking about. Phelps was tested after a race and they found he had only 1/3rd the amount of lactic acid of other swimmers in the same race. This means his recovery after a workout is much faster than other athletes which means he can train more often. It's not the same thing as being tall which gives an advantage during the game itself. Phelps has an edge on training. This is more similar to high testosterone women. Merely having high testosterone doesn't make you more athletic, but if you train to be athletic you will have better results than other women. --- It says right here in Matthew 16:4 "Jesus doth not need a giant Mecha." https://imgur.com/dQgC4kv <cite>Tyranthraxus posted [p:955680808] in 2 African ...

yutterh 07/02/21 5:15:06 PM #95:	Seems they undershirt how much testosterone a woman can natural have. Also wasn't testosterone measured before to keep out people that use steroids or other illegal performance enhancing drugs? I mainly just think stuff like obvious abuse like in that south park episode. But at the same time soem men could have woman levels of testosterone. It's a complexe issue. I think the real danger though is mma trans athletes, as it could end up with a deadly situation, do to bone structure and stuff from high testosterone growing up and a late transition. Which then takes into the question how early should someone transition. I support trans people for sure and their rights. But their are situations in sports that can arise and effect their ability. Transitioning too early or too late. It definitely needs more research and we are all just trying to find the beat way to support them while also making sure non transitioned woman have a fair playing field as well. --- CPU i5 10600k, CPUC evga CLC 280x140, RAM tridentz 3200mhz cl14 32gb, MOBO Asus Rog strix e-gaming, GPU evga fc3 rtx 3070, PSU evga 850w G2, Samsung G7 32in. <cite>yutterh posted [p:955681152] in 2 African ...
