We separate genders in most sports for a reason. If I were a woman who trained my whole life as a woman, and got to the Olympic level, and I suddenly had to face an opponent that went through puberty as a man, trained as a man, and then a few years ago decided they were a woman, and began taking hormone blockers, I would be fucking pissed. There are significant biological and hormonal differences between men and women, which is why testosterone levels are monitored and regulated among female athletes.
Overall, I think articles like this are just intentional trolling with rage bait about stuff that doesn’t directly concern or impacts a thousandth of a percent of the population.
There’s real news in the real world that’s impacting all of us that we should be aware of and angry about.

And cis women who have naturally high testosterone levels are then discriminated against.

Discrimination like this are huge signs of the problems of socitey. Sure, trans people not being able to compete isnt the end of the world… but the Discrimination doesnt stop there. We can just look at history for examples.
Yes, they’re “trolling” or “rage bait”…but you’re the one getting baited.
…you’re the one babbling about the never-has-or-will happen-but-is-technially-possible scenario. You obviously completely unaware of the standards that were in place…which made it impossible for the athlete that you described to compete as a woman.
All this is going to do is allow transphobes and other perverts to inspect the generals of athletes…some of them minor athletes…if they wish to compete.
This is a virtue signal for bigots, solving a problem that didn’t and couldn’t exist. Full stop, end of story.
What are you going around the bends about, mate? I’m not transphobic at all. I’ve never done anything transphobic, and I’ve never said or posted anything transphobic. The Olympic committee decided this, I had no vote or say about it whatsoever. Are you under the mistaken impression that I’m part of the Olympic committee?
What did I say that was transphobic, then? What have I said or posted anywhere that was transphobic in any way, shape, or form? Please post here so everyone can see. Because you have no idea what you’re talking about.
Now please show me even one example where I’ve said or posted anything transphobic. You’re the one who threw the accusation at me, so let’s see the receipts.
The reason you aren’t showing us anything, is because I haven’t said or posted anything transphobic. lmao
A person says something transphobic. You tell them be careful all these horrible users will get mad. Nothing to explain. Lol and yeah I’m revealing my own transphobia by simply pointing out that I saw what you did. Idiotic trolls can never reverse the bigotry they spread so why the fuck are you bothering? Absolutely no one who isn’t also a bigot will believe you.
I mean… Good?

Jeeeeeesus Christ it’s twenty fucking twenty six, how do you not know how gender dysphoria works? Do gay people decide to be gay?

Didn’t read but thank you for identifying yourself as a bigot
Careful about saying stuff like that on Lemmy. If you can’t tell by your downvotes, you’ll find out when they start stalking you. lol
So you’re a transphobe too eh? Way to brag about it

I responded to what you said, not the article. Weird deflection.

Weird projection you have going on here.
Doesn’t seem like you know what projection means
I know exactly what it means.
