The science is also pretty clear - boys who go through puberty enjoy physical advantages that no amount of hormone blockers or genital surgery will ever change. There are plenty of scientific studies to back this up. Not to mention the examples all around us. Average male athletes going on to break female world records, or the time a 15u boys soccer team beat the womens USA team.

Just like other mental illnesses, we shouldn’t mock this one either. But it is a mental illness. How else can you explain a biological male competing against and getting enjoyment from defeating women in sports? It’s sad that 98% of people recognize this obvious truth but are afraid to say it. Hell, I’m posting anonymously for fear of woke cancel-culture mobs coming after me.

The solution is simple. Born a male, play male sports. You can still take hormone blockers and get surgeries. But play male sports. Does that put you at a disadvantage? Most likely. But so do numerous other factors - from genuine physical disabilities to maybe just being born unathletic. If a trans athlete really loves the sport, they’ll still play it at the E/Rec mens level. So you can’t say someone is telling you that you can’t play.

As for cleaning up the womens game in other ways, that is a separate topic but should be addressed. I would have to hear some compelling arguments for why a female should be allowed to take steroids, look just like a man, and still play against females. Is there a legit medical reason for a woman to take steroids and look like that besides to have an enormous physical advantage? Plus,, the lasting damage steroids will do to a woman’s body is exactly why you don’t see that many women taking them in slowpitch softball.

But men take steroids? Yes, but there are medical reasons for some to do it (not always), so that’s tougher to regulate.
