Transwomen Athletes Erode Legitimacy of Women's Sports

It’s troublesome that the person with the undeniable biological advantage is the one who society sees as being treated unfairly in a sporting competition. Enter: Rachel McKinnon, professional victim cyclist.

Timothy Mead, writing for Townhall:

She set a new world best time in qualifying and went on to take gold in the sprint for a second consecutive year," according to Cycling Weekly. The world record McKinnon set in the qualifying round was 11.649 for the female age 35-39 group. In the male 35-39 age group, the top qualifying round time was 10.498. 

That “record” doesn’t sound like it’s worth very much, given that she wouldn’t even have qualified for the race against other people with XY chromosomes. Sure, she may have had her nuts chopped off and therefore have a qualifyingly low level of testosterone now, but her balls were still attached when he went through puberty, and that’s when the male testosterone levels are going to make the biggest difference for muscle development. It’s not fair for her to compete against women with XX chromosomes who didn’t have the advantage of having testicles to pump out a bunch of testosterone to boost their muscle development during puberty.

Karolinksa Institute in Sweden also conducted research that suggested testosterone suppression for transgender women has little effect on reducing muscle strength.

N.Y. Post is using these findings as support for the argument that transwomen athletes shouldn’t be required to take testosterone suppression meds, but it seems to better support the argument that they shouldn’t be allowed to compete with women at all. Allowing people with XY chromosomes who benefited from male puberty to compete against people with XX chromosomes who went through female puberty is unfair, and it erodes the legitimacy of women's sports, as one of McKinnon’s competitors noted:

“It was an unfair race, and I accepted that when I pinned on the number, and I tried to do my best to overcome the unfairness,” said Jennifer Wagner-Assali, who took bronze behind McKinnon last year. […] “I do feel that hard-fought freedoms for women’s sport are being eroded.”

McKinnon, addressing criticism of her participation in competitions again XX women:

Real champions want stronger competition. If you win because bigotry got your competition banned… you’re a loser.

Misogynistic bullshit. Trans people absolutely deserve equal rights. They don't deserve special rights.
