    Yeah, and you made a pretty blanket statement about all trans people, or ig all trans people on Lemmy, based on your experience with like, a handful of people?

      If you want an example, I said trans athletes being in man or women categories is a debate and shouldn’t be allowed by default because of inequalities between the individuals, and true equality can never be reached.

      I believe the use of “biological men” trigged them when I said that transgender women were that… when I was talking about scientific stuff to make my point.

      Super transphobic, watch out! ☢️ -_-

        Studies have found the only Olympic events in which trans women might have an advantage over cis women is mid range sprints. There has been no advantage shown in the short or long sprint events nor any other categories.

        If you want to talk about equality in sports the biggest inequality that affects outcomes is money. Athletes with more money poured into them for training and equipment have a significant advantage over other athletes.

          Studies did not find that there’s a lack of advantage as well, therefore why use it as a point? What I meant is that there’s place for a debate on this question.

          There has been no advantage shown in the short or long sprint events nor any other categories.

          I’ll have to disagree with you on this. Based on my research I did not find conclusive evidence on this. A sample size inferior to thousands is not sufficient to test anyways.

          Athletes with more money poured into them for training and equipment have a significant advantage over other athletes.

          That’s a well known problem. Sadly, not much we can do to fix it without creating other problems. We’re all unequal on this :(
