Yes

Transgender athletes should NOT be able to compete with those who were born an opposite sex as them. Biologically, men are stronger, faster, and more athletic that women naturally are, and it wouldn't be fair to let a transgender woman compete with actual women, even if that man thinks he's a woman.

Those influenced by testosterone during puberty can create lasting advantages in strength, speed, and endurance. This may compromise fairness in sex-segregated sports, where competition is designed to account for these physiological differences rather than gender

If lebron james became transgender and played for the WNBA he would get 150 points every game atleast

I believe it is unfair and unjust. if a man is participating in a women's sport he still has the strength and reflexes of a male.

Would you say it would be fair if Lebron James, with the same body and athletic abilities was to have a gender changing surgery and play in the WNBA. Arguably the best basketball player of all time playing against less stronger, athletic, and smaller women basketball players. The same goes for any sport like powerlifting, where a male power lifter changing his gender and competing in women power lifting competitions. I would be completely un fair.

if a boy wants to become a girl and play in a sports with girls they will beat them because males have testonerone

if they change there gender and they try and play the sport there original gender is they shouldn't play it

Biological men are naturally more ¨strong¨ and ¨athletic¨ especially if they are years into athletic training and that puts biological females in a huge disadvantage

the male gender is genetically stronger and more athletic compared to the female gender. No matter what you do or what you take, you will always be the gender you were assigned at birth, as two x chromosomes cannot become an x and a y chromosome

it is dangourous in contact sports. it is unfair for acual women that train hard to compete. its a joke

Males are scientifically proven to be more dominant, stronger, faster, and overall better at sports and physical activities than women. This creates unfair advantages also in height too.

They have a large advantage/disadvantage against there competitors so the contest is no longer based on skill.

They are at the core men and they have all the biological advantages of men so they shouldn't compete with female athletes

No we should not allow opisite genders to go against their gender because men are factually better than woman in any physically acitvity most of the time.

Males and females are built different for a reason. Women that train to compete against other women should be able to compete against other women and not be met with a man.

a sport that is made to be played fair with athletes of the same gender is now made unfair as a biological male competes against biological females. Yes, opinions and feeling can change; transitions can be made from one gender to another, however, anatomy doesn't change: a male naturally holds more strength, endurance and power than a biological female. This is an unfair advantage for biological men playing in female sports.

Banning transgender athletes can be unfair because sports should be inclusive, and policies can be adjusted to ensure fair competition without excluding people.

There are only 2 genders born a woman compete against women, born male only compete against males, your delusion that you are something other than what you were born as does not matter.

Just because you say your one thing doesn’t mean it’s true having a boy compete against a girl in male dominated sports is wrong regardless of if the man says he’s a girl or vies versa.

The athletic and genetic abilities that men would have in women's sports is proven with the transgender athlete that set a bench press record in Alberta because he was identifying as a woman. As well as the height and weight advantages they have in other sports even with the use of estrogen and other medication.

Males are genetically stronger and faster on average and are able to develop more muscle mass therefore it is unfair for them to compete with women.

They should not be allowed because it gives them an unfair advantage and it is ahrmful and unjust to other athletes already in those categories.

If a man enters a women's tournament for rugby or football and he's 6'7 300lbs what are 120lbs women gonna do

im a 180 lbs somewhat athletic man if i put on a wig and play agianst 120 lbs woman who is more athletic i can still very easily hurt her

It is proven that men have genetics advantages when comeptng against women, and even if they start taking hormones this advantage would still exist. This isn't fair with women competitors and all of the past women athletes that fought to play in "men's games".

Most men are naturally bigger and stronger so competing agaisnt femals when you are naturally a man is not fair and a women againn wouldnt be fair

Men are biologically stronger then women and women are biologically weaker then men so men should not be allowed to overpower women in their own division that ensure fairness in competition. To make sure everything is fair biolical women should not be allowed to compete in mens sports.

One of the main concerns is that biological differences—such as muscle mass, bone density, and overall strength—can remain even after hormone treatment. For example, athletes who went through male puberty may still have physical advantages in speed and power compared to athletes who were born female. Critics argue that this could create an uneven playing field in certain sports, especially at higher competitive levels where small physical differences can significantly impact results.

Another point often raised is the purpose of sex-separated sports categories. Women’s divisio…  Read morens were created to ensure equal opportunities for female athletes. Some argue that if biological advantages are not fully eliminated, it may reduce fairness and limit opportunities for cisgender female athletes.

The genes in male vs. female are very different and it is simply not fair to have biological males competing in female competitions.

men are naturally stronger and better at sports then women and it is unfair for women to go against a naturally stronger and better male at a sport

They are biologically stronger and have a atheism advantage even if they are taking transgender affirming drugs making it unfair to woman who train their whole lives at their sport

you cannot change the full anatomy of the body.boys are naturally stronger and designed to grow more muscle a trans guy competing in a women's sport is unfair.

It is not fair to woman if they are going to play a sport agents a man that thinks he's a girl because they are 10x stronger then woman

A transgender male is biologically built differently than a born male. Males are naturally stronger, and not only does it cause safety concerns if they are competing with the wrong gender it is unfair. Just like how all athletes aren't allowed to take strength enhancing hormones, a biologically different body structure shouldn't be allowed to compete.

they have physical advantages like height strength speed making competition with female athletes unfair

Biology has its advantages, you cannot replace xx or xy chromosomes, this is an unfair for females competing against a biological male

have a separate sector for transgender athletes, natural women and men should be able to compete fairly against each other regardless of the steps taken to equalize transgender athletes to non.

If women’s sports exist to offset male puberty advantages, and those advantages are not fully reversible, then inclusion based solely on gender identity risks eliminating the competitive fairness that justified women’s categories in the first place.

I think it is stupid for a biological male to compete against women athletes. Males a biologically stronger than females, no matter what you believe.

Take boxing for example. A 185 pound male boxer identifies as a woman and is then accepted into female boxing. Biology suggests as a fact that males are significantly more physically able than women. This man is now allowed in a sanction boxing ring, with a huge advantage over his female opponents and is now allowed to force repeated blows to the head of a female. This poses a giant risk of death, blunt force trauma, and injury. It logically makes zero sense.

No, I don't think that transgender athletes should be allowed to participate with their biological gender. It is not fair that a transgender person is in the same program if they have biological advantages to the rest of the group

#2 Engaged Transgender Athletes

Trans people, especially children, are not very different from their cis peers. We are people, and we exist. Laws cannot change that. We do not want to be told who we are and aren't. Let trans women be women and let trans men be men, because they are.

If a male transforms into a female it would be unfair for those who where born female because males have more natural testosterone.

My best counter argument to the yes position on transgender athletes is that people born a woman are biologically disadvantaged to people born a man. Women have less physical strength, grip, and endurance compared to individuals born a man. This works both ways in the sense that woman may not be able to keep up when competing against men.

Male athletes who have gone through puberty retain male physiological advantages, such as greater bone density and more overall muscle mass.These advantages are not fully mitigated through testoserone reduction substances.

While inclusion is important, separating athletic divisions by biological sex helps maintain fairness in competition, since physiological differences can significantly affect performance outcomes.

It’s unfair biologically men are stronger so when you put a man that’s also training as much at these women it’s very unfair for the women.

It makes it unfair to everyone competing that someone has an advantadge because of what they say they are.

No, I don't think that transgender athletes should be allowed to participate with their biological gender. It is not fair that a transgender person is in the same program if they have biological advantages to the rest of the group.

It is unfair as a man that "is a woman" is going to be more physically gifted from birth being bigger and stronger.

Men and Women are biologically different in strength, speed, durbality and other things. for instance a man who identifies as a woman is still biologically faster therefore shouldn't compete against women who have a biological disadvantage.

Those born male have a higher level of testosterone and are naturally built bulkier and have stronger bones and mental strengths. Some people join a sport again or try harder when they change sex’s because they know they can be better and get more opportunities so eliminating transgender athletes would keep sports fair.

It would be unfair if someone turns into a woman and goes against girls in the sport and it would make the girls uncomfortable knowing they are actually playing against a man.

The anatomy of a transgender female is still male, Giving them a much better chance in physical sports compared to true females

Male genetics have more muscle and are better for physical sports

Men and women are different and this is a biological non subjective fact. This is misogyny and unfair to women. Women deserve their own spaces and to feel safe.

Transgender athletes have an unfair genetic advantage compared to cisgender athletes. They are built i diffrent ways and are seperated for reasons by not following regulations they ruin sports and cause athletes to quit

Men are biologically stronger and even after transitioning hold an unfair advantage, taking away woman’s chance is sports they fought so hard for in the past

Men and women are astronomically different internally. Organs are bigger in men. Muscle grows easier and faster and bigger in men than women. So having a biological male compete against women will never be a fair challenge. Women were never allowed to join men’s sports teams because of the size and stength differences and now biological men want to join women’s teams so they can win. It’s completely unfair.

We are not biological the same there is a reason that zero women can play in the top sports leagues in the world and it is not sexism

Transgender athletes are more respectful and fair than cisgender athletes and are less likely to be violent in general.

It’s extremely destructive to biological female athletes mental health because as women, we need to work that much harder to train strength, endurance, and overall power. So to work so hard for something your entire life just to have a biological male competing for the same title is crushing. No matter how you look at it biological men will always have more testosterone which in return means a greater outcome on training, conditioning, and, performance.

Gender does not mean anything. Biological sex determines this, as a biological male is more genetically capable than a biological female.

Transgender athletes are literally, and undeniably a different gender to those they compete against. That's the only argument needed. If anything there should be a third category for trans athletes to compete against each other.

Men in women’s sports should be a crime, there are biological differences between men and women and men are physically superior than women.

i think transgender athletes that were born as male have to compete against males and same with females have to compete with females.

if a female sports team worked so hard for years to be approved of a league, its not fair when someone was a man that was privilaged. Its unfair to let someone walk in and beat all the records and passion for rights because someone else feels a certain way, but has a genetic makeup of XY cromosomes. physically it is not reasonable.

It is confirmed that biological males gain better advantages so if a trans competes with women, there's always a high percentage that the previous male always receives victory because they're stronger, faster, and that's just the basic factors of a male. Im not saying women cant accomplish wins and cant be labeled better than men, but biologically they just carries those stems that let them reach to success if competing with women.

Biologically, men are physically stronger than women and if a transgender man who changed to female, joins the Olympics, then it will be unfair for the rest of the female athletes because they are not as genetically physically strong

they should not play because it is no where near fair is a boy comes and joins the WNBA lets say Shaq turned to a girl and played in the WNBA the game would just be straight up unfair.

I believe that there should be a different league for trans athletes or take part in activities that are the same as their birth gender.

Transgender athletes should not be allowed to take part in sports of the opposite gender that they are biologically connected to because of unfair advantages to others

If LeBron James decided he was Transgender would that be fair for the other athletes. It’s a biological fact that males produce more testosterone than women. Testosterone is responsible for natural muscle growth and the male figure stereotype: Broad shoulders, Tall, Facial hair. This biological fact will always separate male and female athletes because unless on steroids women will always be behind the male figure

man are scientist prove to be better and stronger then woman that is why man and women sports are spectated.

Being born male and going into female sports is just idiotic. They were born biologically stronger by genetics full stop, if they want to compete thats fine, but do so either in their own league or their own biological gender, dont try and cut the line. These people are no better than the ones made fun of by social media, they are cheaters and nothing else full stop.

men are physically stronger, taller, and bigger meaning if they change genders and compete in other genders sports they will dominate because they are physically better.

If someone is born a male, they have more testosterone and are typically stronger/bigger than females

Biological differences (cardiovascular, muscle mass, centre of gravity) give males a distinct advantage. Women deserve their own spaces. Identity does not negate reality.

Let's take the example of women's sports if a transman can join a biological women's sport that transman is going to break the women's charts because he is not a biological woman he is a biological man, with a bigger body structure, bigger body, bigger lungs, biological they are better then biological women in body matters. I would say a better solution is that we make a trans sports team so that trans people can do sports against other trans people so it's fair to everyone: biological women, biological men, and trans people as a whole.

Men people born as men are stronger faster taller than women and its unfair and unethicle for men to compete in women sports

that everysing recored it any sport is better than any female could ever do cuz of the bioglocal makeup

Transgender atheletes are provin in science to be better than normal athletes, which make it unfair.

No matter what, a biological male will always have more testosterone than a biological female. If we are going to allow transgender athletes into sports competitions, we may as well do away with the entire concept of separating genders in sports contests.

They should not be playing in their changed gender sports. It is not fair for anybody, they should play in their birth genders.

Trans people tend to have and equal, if not higher amount of the hormones that equate to cis people of the same gender, and the idea of separating them is just a thinly veiled way of saying that you don't want us to have the rights and opportunities as cis people.

Overall, it's because the balance of hormones between the two athletes would be incredibly uneven. . Naturally, a man will almost always be stronger than a woman physically, which is why they compete within the same sex, because the opponent has the same natural edge as the other.

It wouldn't be fair to the women when a transgender male enters the competetion. An individual can also lie.

Well men are genetically build stronger and taller so it’s not fair for biologically male athletes who are trans to compete against biologically females.

If male to female, they have a biological advantage, so it's not fair, and if female they have a disadvantage so it's not fair to them.

Men are superior athletes and if you have ever been a man in the past you should vs other men not women

If somebody was originally a man and switched to a woman to play in woman sports, it would cause an unfair advantage
