[QUOTE="stus768, post: 1182498, member: 40475"] Is the fact that elite male performance exceeds elite female performance not a reasonable starting point to say we shouldn’t allow trans women to compete at that level based on fairness. Then the studies should be looking at whether the advantage is removed through transition. If you’re looking at it from an inclusivity perspective (inclusivity over fairness) then absolutely everyone should have an opinion because it’s not being decided based on a scientific understanding of the physiological advantages. Don’t agree with calling someone disagreeing with trans women taking part in women’s sports transphobic anymore than I would calling someone mysogynistic for wanting to allow them to compete.
