Yes, good point. Let's ban all basketball player over 6'8" and all linemen over 300 lbs , the freaks.
Advantages, fair or otherwise are the nature of competition. I think the transgender debate stands out because it's more along the lines of cheating nature.
Don’t tell me you don’t see a problem with this on a competitive level.
Traditional basketball and football players have a level playing field when separated by sex and thats why the sport thrives and is competitive. It would be dumb to put an all star NBA player on a WNBA team just so they dominate and win, right? We divid physical sports by sex for good reason. If you start allowing men to compete in women’s wrestling and weight lifting, then whats the point in having women’s wrestling and weight lifting?
Re: Really just a dude with long hair in a women's race...
A decent starting point would be to exclude transgenders from competing as women based on genetics. Doesn't prevent cases like Semenya or the wrestling dudette but at least it's a sensible starting point that anyone reasonable can agree upon.
Btw the worst case I've ever seen and it has nothing to do with transgenders or drugs was the 800m womens final at the Rio Olympics. The finishing order to anyone with eyes would read guy, guy, guy and then all the actual women.
