Trans people in sports. I wish they could all have the rights everyone else has, but a 200lb person beating the shit out of someone half their weight is crazy and unfair. maybe we are too focused on sports as achievement.

    I don't see what this has to do with trans people? As if people of the same sex at birth can't end up with wildly different weights as well? Like a 200lbs woman beating the shit out of a 100lbs woman wouldn't be allowed in any sport. So why would it suddenly be allowed if the 200lbs woman is trans? Also, "unfair" gets me here. Sports aren't fucking fair! That's the entire point. It's a physical competition where some people have an inherent advantage due to genetics. Trans people existing doesn't change that, and doesn't make it any less fair. This just reeks of you seeing all these "no men in womens sports" arguments and not taking the time to actually examine if those arguments are valid or not.
