    From the article, because it’s the most important point, and the one the right pretends doesn’t exist

    Even if you grow up with male puberty, hormone replacement therapy (HRT) causes a total upheaval of your performance. Any advantages you may have had before are eliminated. There are more disadvantages after HRT than remaining advantages acquired during first puberty.

      Not that sports have ever been fait anyway. Why ruin it for people in the name of micro-optimizing fairness?

    I think that competing in professional sports can’t be a human right and it shouldn’t be a way for some kind of gender self realisation. There are plenty of ways to like a sport, enjoy it, socialise in it, earn money from it and even compete in many leagues. I don’t see why it is so important to be able to do it with all the women who, tell me if I’m wrong, have a different life experience ? Besides that it’s also because of the drugs they have to take, they can compete so there is always a question there.

    I mean no offence to anyone. I dont really care what they decide, they hopefully being women competitors. Respect to everyone.

    Competitive sports are kind of dumb to begin with and womens sports have a few issues more.
