Your thoughts on trans woman competing in female sports?

Generally oppose. Some of these trans people are just bomb-throwers, make life easy for the haters. There simply are differential developmental factors that favor males relative to females in strength, endurance, agility. If a man wants to be a woman, be one, but dont' try to show them up athletically. Its obvious to most of us, on either the left or right.

What about trans men competing in mens sports?

It is rare situation that should be addressed on a case by case basis. Maybe some sports should group by ability and not gender. Like swimming. You have a certain qualifying time, you compete in the A group, next times B group, etc.

I consider it unfair as well.

I have no problem with modern social terms, I’ll call a transgender a woman if she prefers that but biological men are generally larger, faster and stronger than women.

It’s not rocket science nor sexism to state that males tend to outclass women in terms of speed and muscle.

I'm totally opposed to it.

It's unfair and takes away from women's sports.

Anyone who says otherwise has probably never played any sports in their life and/or thinks cheating is okay.

Create a trans league - problem solved. Problem is, no one would care to watch it, that's why they try to piggy back on established sports.

Sports are not about gender, they're about sex. Trans women are biological males and therefore can only compete with other males. They should not be allowed to play on a women's team made up of biological females.
I fail to understand why this is so difficult for people to understand. The only conclusion I can come to is that wokeness breaks your brain and prevents you from thinking clearly.

Also very much against it. I've mentioned before that I'm in "Big Ten country" when it comes to college sports, so I've gotten to watch Iowa and Caitlin Clark quite a bit the past couple of years. I saw the other day that Iowa had to put their season-ticket sales for Women's Basketball on hold because they had gotten roughly 6,700 new requests for season tickets (mostly because of Clark). I really find it interesting (I'm an Ohio State fan, by the way).

Iowa and the Big Ten are really marketing Clark heavily. She's a great basketball player for sure, but she comes across as a very intelligent, grounded, good-hearted person (although she's very competitive, make no mistake about it). But she's a lot of fun to watch. It's going to be very interesting to see how she and Iowa handle this going forward. I'd hate it if this would end up being affected by the "trans situation." There are a lot of great female athletes out there and I enjoy watching them compete.
