Sedona AZ — I’m OK with and strongly defend an individual’s right to decide their gender.
Gender-neutral restrooms? Same-sex marriage? Drag shows? No problem.
But it just doesn’t feel right to allow biological males to play on women’s sports teams.
It’s not fair. Not safe. It just doesn’t feel right.
Males, by their biology, are physically bigger and stronger than women.
Having a male on a female team is like having a ringer on your side.
There’s no even playing field when you do that.
And how come we don’t see biological women playing on men’s teams?
They can’t keep up. They could get hurt, especially in contact sports.
Perhaps a transgender male could play on a female team if they are smaller than the teammates or rival players.
But that ain’t going to happen.
Supporters of allowing transgender females to compete in all-female sports often provide several justifications, including:
1. Fairness and Inclusivity
Everyone should have the right to participate in sports that align with their gender identity. Excluding transgender athletes could be seen as discriminatory and contrary to principles of equality and fairness.
2. Compliance with Gender Identity Laws and Policies
In many places, laws and regulations (e.g., Title IX in the U.S.) require institutions to provide equal opportunities for individuals, including transgender people, based on gender identity.
3. Hormone Therapy Regulations
Supporters often point to guidelines set by organizations like the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and NCAA, which allow transgender women to compete in women’s categories after meeting specific criteria, such as maintaining testosterone levels below a certain threshold for a designated period.
4. Encouraging Participation in Sports
Inclusion in sports fosters a sense of belonging and benefits mental and physical health. Advocates stress that transgender athletes should have access to the same positive experiences as their gender peers.
5. Promoting Diversity and Social Progress
Many see the inclusion of transgender athletes as a step toward breaking down stereotypes, promoting acceptance, and creating a more diverse and inclusive society.
6. Case-by-Case Competitiveness
Supporters argue that not all transgender athletes automatically have a competitive advantage, emphasizing the importance of evaluating each athlete’s abilities and circumstances individually rather than making broad assumptions.
But all the above reasons given for allowing males to play in female sports mean nothing in the face of actuality.
Men are physically stronger. Period. That’s it in a nutshell. Get over it. Men don’t belong in women’s sports. It’s just plain wrong.
Sure, if men had to have babies, there would be no humans left. And without women, nursing homes would have no reason to exist.
When it comes to emotional strength, survivability, and longevity, few would argue women aren’t on top.
If men who identify as women want to play sports as women, perhaps transgender teams could be created where athletes compete against other gender-diverse individuals.
That would be interesting. Women who identify as men and men who identify as women could play on the same teams, and no one would protest.
Anyway, with much respect to the transgender community, men playing in women’s sports is simply not kosher.

Why do you listen or care about these fake, GOP created problems pushed by right wing hate media? When your talking about 0.001% of the population you light your hair on fire? I am so sick of all this fake crap that dosent effect you me or anyone else! Get a life!
I was waiting to see who would bite first on this.
WS Dave is 100% correct on this. MAGGOTS act as though if they see a gay person they too will become gay. They bitch that men transitioning to women have an advantage over Cis gender women when in fact SCIENCE (that what MAGGOTS don’t believe in) show that they lose their testosterone so rapidly that they end up in the negatives which is below that of their Cis gender Female colleagues. Many many many a former and current GOP/MAGGOT politician public homophobes have been outed as closeted gays and child molesters. And yet they pound the loudest anti gay anti child molester drum they can muster to divert from what they themselves are. Just like many a murderer who couldn’t possibly be murderers because they are good white “God Fearing” church going murderers unlike the non white non GoD Fearing non church going murderers.
I think deep down people scream the loudest about the evils of the gay and trans in order to avoid the brutality that gay and trans people who have the courage to be what and who they are face anytime they appear in public.
It ain’t Cooties it’s genetics.
