This is my whole point.
Liberals, SJW's, Media, all want to coddle and cater to these people.
They say things like "They identify as this, who are YOU to say otherwise"
My point is, Fine, let them play sports with men and get crushed and let them play sports with women and dominate. Enough of this and people will start to realize there is more to being a woman/man than just identifying as one.

I know a little bit about that whole situation.
As we move forward with the constant pounding that we have to "accept" this absurd behavior, I think you'll really see the the true colors of those who only want "equality". Somewhere in the not too distant future there is going to be outrage when some small amateur league/organization doesn't allow a girl turned boy the opportunity to play in boys league. However, the same degree of "outrage" won't be present when a boy turned girl wants to play in a girl's league. None of these "victims of society" want actual equality. They want others to recognize their subjective concept of equality.
Girl becomes boy = she MUST be allowed to play in a boy's league
Boy becomes girl = it's unfair to let him/her play in a league with a bunch of girls.

As a major advancement for Transgender rights I hope LeBron, Kobe, Anthony Davis, Chris Paul, and Dwayne Wade announce they are Transgender and would like to play on the same team together in the WNBA.
Imagine how awesome those games would be. 400-2 in the first half.

I never really thought about it either until someone told me last night. We are playing mixed doubles (man and woman against man and woman) so essentially it's a man and a woman playing against two men. She also plays singles against other women which is pretty ridiculous. As a man I would feel bad beating up on a bunch of women.

Looks like this transgender athlete "pioneer" seems to settle the issue in his/her own words....
quote:
Richards has since expressed ambivalence about her legacy, and came to believe her past as a man provided her with advantages over her competitors, saying “Having lived for the past 30 years, I know if I’d had surgery at the age of 22, and then at 24 went on the tour, no genetic woman in the world would have been able to come close to me. And so I’ve reconsidered my opinion."

They can just throw on a wig and call it a day. So brave.Posted on 7/28/15 at 8:45 am to Breesus
There has been something similar in Tennis in the past:

There is no comparison, women cannot compete with men at the top of the spectrum.

Perhaps more pertinent, in 1998, Venus and Serena—just 17 and 16 years old, respectively—boasted that they could defeat men outside the ATP 200. German Karsten Braasch, then ranked No. 203, accepted the test in one-set exhibitions with each following their defeats at the Australian Open. The 31-year-old beat Serena, 6–1, and then Venus, 6–2, reportedly smoking a cigarette during the changeover.

Just wait until girls high school teams are all made up of transgender boys. It is going to happen.

That German sounds like a badass.

Nobody is going to argue that Men are much better than Women at sports, hence why we separate the two. Can you imagine if one of the Brian Brothers started identifying as a female and they were allowed to play mixed? They would never lose a set, would be ridiculous.

Are people that claim to be transgender truly the result of a scientifically confirmed hormonal imbalance, genetic malady, psychiatric issue or a combination of all three?

No she shouldn't. Someone should call the 2nd and 3rd placers and laugh at them for losing to a woman.

Testosterone is nature's steroid. If you're on it artificially now (Transgender - born female now male), or you've ever had it in you (Transgender - born male now female), you need to compete as a man.

FIFY.
And no, one should absolutely play with others sharing the same chromosomal pairing- the final, and really only, indicator which identifies a person's gender.

Hate to break it to you, but testosterone is present in females as well as males. Males also have estrogen.
