      So are you claiming that 10 years ago peopel thought it was perfectly fair for trans-women to compete against women? I would strongly disagree.

        It’s been allowed for a while as long as they take HRT. It’s not a perfect system but much better than discriminating. It’s not a new thing, the anti-trans propaganda is.

          How long do they have to be taking HRT for? And how do you know it will ever be fair based on all of the anecdotal example we have?

              The point here is do you see the problem? IF it is ever fair, we would have to have many years on HRT, and even then would someone like Lebron ever be fair to play against women.

                You are grossly misinformed on the subject and I’m not on social media to remedy that. It’s not like sports organizer just said yes no problem, it’s a studied object where biologists weighed in. Rogan is an ignoramus riding on trans hate. If you can’t be bothered to actually look it up, stop pestering me about it.

                  You are mixing up where “biologists” are ideological driven. When disagreeing with what you are saying makes rogan “ignoramus riding on trans hate” then you will get no where. We need to be able to argue and not be called names. Any other athletes that are not afraid of backlash will agree with Rogan, the issue is that we are not allowed to disagree.

                    Ah yes the ideologically driven biologist like the ideologically driven pro-vaccine doctors and ideologically driven environmentalist fighting climate change. Welcome to the fabulous arguments of conspiracy theorists 🤡. Please do better and stop wasting my time.
