Should trans men complete sports with cis men?

22 Comments

There’s been much talk about trans women competing in female leagues. I understand, men have a natural advantage over women in sports. Despite taking estrogen trans girls still have a clear physical advantage.

But what about trans men, who society doesn’t seem to talk about at all? Would it be fair them to compete with biological men? They have a physical disadvantage, but is it fair to other biological men who aren’t as masculine to compete against a FTM and lose?

I’m just a fan of trans individuals having their own leagues.

    Sports should remain segregated by sex. Nobody on hormones should be allowed to compete.

    In the past if they found an abnormal level of hormone in a female or male body they called it cheating. But now, the translobby has blurred all lines and nonsense is being mediatised way too much and getting too much support.

    Let the trans compete with biological men. Both ftm and mtf. You get to see the difference very quickly. Bio men 1st, mtf second, ftm third.

    The NFL already allows women to join any time. It's just that they cant make the cut.

    Neither should be allowed in sports at all.

      Or all trans persons go with the male teams. No biological advantage there.

    No because unfortunately most transmen who take hormones have already gone through puberty. Bone doesn’t change. We should have are own league.

    I think that they should have their own category once they start transitioning

    It doesn’t really matter if they want to but they’d probably throw a shit fit and call it “discrimination” when they didn’t win

    Unlike trans-women, trans-men don't have a physical advantage, but a disadvantage instead.

      But what is fair? They want to identify as male, so wouldn’t it be fair to compete with them? They already have an advantage of cis women with testosterone.

        Yeah, they should be allowed to compete with cis-men, but I doubt they'd be particularly successful at it. Trans-women competing against women is a big NO though.

    Definitely don't have trans men competing against women. Terribly idea. It'd be like having a man compete against women. That testosterone is gonna fuel them a hell of alot nore than the estrogen does. Hormones play a huge roll in our lives it's not to be ignored

      Not to mention the actual physcial differences: body fat ratio, center of gravity, bone density, size of bones, how long your limbs are, general height, muscle types.

    I’m telling you right now the only ones who would get away with this would be some pretty little MTF athlete from the US.
    If aaaannnnyyyyybody else tried to compete as transgender in any international ring it would be shut down immediately

        What a reach. The post is about competitive sports. Anyone competing in any sports ring that matters enough to care about is an athletic athlete.
        MTF garner the most attention when it comes to this conversation. Less people would care to rally for, or against, a FTM athlete.

        Have you not seen how horribly vicious people treated /cis woman/ athletes that people called “too masculine” from China, Korea, and African nations ? For years these women were horribly berated in the Olympics. That’s how they treated CIS women from the East and Africa, no fucking doubt they would treat trans women a trillion times worse.
        Even Cis women of color in the West and the US are horribly berated and people call for their removal from womens sports for being “too manly”

        Don’t play fucking stupid because you’re trying to pull my attention. I am very vocal about my support of LGBT+ rights on here.
        I hate you because of your disgusting disrespect of animals and your advocation of sex trade expansionism and degeneracy. I ain’t a transphobe.

          I dont watch the Olympics I honestky couldn't care also no I haven't seen tgat cause in America if they teach about the Asians its how Japan bombed pearl harbor. The Germans are evil nazis the Russians are all commies and should be hated ruthlessly and Arabs are all terrorists. That's the education in my country regarding other cultures at least when I was in school.

          Whoa whoa whoa I understand why you think I disrespect animals bit avocation fot sex trafe expansionsion? I'm a traditionalist I don't support that crap. Degenerate is fair I can't argue that but I most definitely do not support the sex trade
