I wonder how the women playing in women’s sports feel about it
There is no “ban.” it’s a clarification of the rules. Men play for men’s teams, and women play for women’s teams. It’s not complicated.
Amount of comments on this thread giving glib snarky remarks cause a 5th tier Scottish footballer cannae play for their club anymore.
Jesus Christ, how can you celebrate trans people being denied their place in society to defend the integrity of Edinburgh Uni Football club
If I was one of her team mates, I’d feel sick as well. I can’t imagine her cis team mates are okay with this at all. Absolutely disgusting how trans people are being forced to the fringes of society.
I do feel for her as she’s already playing in a team, is obviously passionate about it and to have the rug pulled under your feet just sucks and has to hurt.
However, having said that, I do agree with the rule change – between biological men and women, it’s not a level playing field. I am absolutely supportive of trans people, but the physical advantages that biological males have over females in many sports simply cannot be denied.
It’s a tough one, it feels unfair to exclude trans women from many sports, but it also feels unfair to include them alongside biological women.
Edit: I’m getting a lot of replies arguing against any physical advantages that trans women have over biological women. I am genuinely interested to read up more on this so if you’ve got something good I can read up on, please provide links, I’m always happy to be challenged and want to be as best informed as I possibly can.
I mean, what exact advantage do trans women have?
If they had such an advantage as claimed then you’d be seeing only gold medalists for various sport events.
At this point the fairest thing would be to have three categories, one for men, one for women, and one for trans
And, If you can’t get your head around the fact that a trans woman’s body is three times stronger than a biological woman’s, you’re the one who’s crazy. It’s not a matter of social discrimination, it’s simply a matter of justice, and that women with women’s bodies should compete with women with women’s bodies, not with women with men’s bodies. It’s as simple as that.
If any of you ever have a daughter who goes to the Olympics and after several years of training meets a trans woman who crushes her on the track, then maybe we will all come to the conclusion I just said: a woman in a man’s body should not be able to compete with women in women’s bodies, it’s that simple.
This is the human cost of this deranged war on trans people.
Trans people deserve to belong in *every single thing* cis people can belong in. Every last one. Without an exception. Including sports.
My heart goes out to her.
Very easy to tell who’s in here with the worst bad faith bullshit arguments about this particular subject.
According to some in here, most of the centre half’s I played against shouldn’t have been allowed on the pitch with me as they were twice the size of me.
Unfair advantage and all that !!
My daughter in law is pleased with the change. She plays in a women’s league in Cardiff and has come up against 2 trans players. She says they are like running into a brick wall, too dangerous and heavy to play against bio women
Honestly I understand the bans. I have no issue whatsoever with trans people and was once good friends with a trans man, but a biological male will have certain physical advantages which can very easily be seen as unfair to biological women playing in the same match. There’s no good solution for this issue, but I completely get it.
This should however absolutely not be another excuse to further berate trans people. If you’re one of those people targeting trans people, do us all a favour and find a well to fall in.
Anyone who disagrees with this needs their head looking at!
The trans Community needs to create its own governing sport body, it’s own teams, leagues ,competitions and rules, just like the paralympics, disabled people, simple.
No one cares
Can we get back to some real news now
Personally, I think it’s reasonable that men who become women don’t take part in higher level sport. At lower levels it should be up to the sports or clubs themselves to decide. It seems idiotic that a woman who went through male puberty should smash up women’s records in a swimming pool, on a bike, or whatever.
Is it just me, or is that very obviously unfair?
I am so fed up of every social media post revolving around a very tiny group of people, with the comments flooded with cis people seemingly oblivious to the fact that these rules are in place to stop people getting unfair biological advantages.
I feel like things like sports, toilets etc should be prefixed with the word biological. It’s obviously already implied. absolute brainrot that it’s even argued.
