@Remittancegirl THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS FUCKING THIS. The argument against trans participation in sport always begins and ends with an uninformed and unfounded declaration of "unfair advantage" as if that is, or has ever, mattered in sport. Sport CANNOT be simultaneously a test of physical athleticism AND a level playing field of evenly matched, equally physically identical bodies. Either admit that the point of sport is to pit two dissimilar bodies against one another and see which body is more physically athletic in a specific category of physicality — or ban Shaq from basketball for being unfairly tall. Ban Michael Phelps from swim meets for having unfairly webbed feet. Ban Usain Bolt from track events for having unfairly muscular legs. Ban every member of the NFL from playing football for having unfairly large bodies.There is no sport ever invented in which the physical differences of our bodies does not give some players advantages over other players. It is, in fact, these physical differences which DEFINE sport. And, here's a news flash for the uninitiated - many sports give a FEMININE body the clear advantage — such as long distance running, or sports in which sustaining a high g force or high pain tolerance. The fact that these physical differences which favor WOMEN'S BODIES are not generally valued by this society says a lot more about the patriarchy than it does trans bodies.
