Again, nothing I wrote is transphobic. You just don’t understand how sports work. The only manner in which sports are segregated is women’s sports. Any woman can play for the NBA if they are good enough. Any woman can play for MLB.

Women get their own leagues in sports because they wouldn’t be present in professional sports at all if it was all a strict meritocracy.

This article of running explains a lot of the factors. I chose running specifically because it’s a non impact sport where, presumably, the gender size differences would play less of a role.

Mens larger hearts let them oxygenate their blood faster, and their blood can hold 11% more oxygen. Recovery from injuries is quicker as well. A lot of these factors are a result of hormones present throughout their lives.

These are facts. What you make of those facts requires logic.

Now, reread what I wrote and cite back to me a single reference I made to trans people.

The post I responded to was stating that there is no reason to split sports by genders. I can tell you that without a doubt, there is a reason to provide women’s sport leagues, and that reason is to prevent their wholesale exclusion from the competitive sport environment.

Depending on when a person transitions in their life, there could be gigantic physical advantages reaped. I don’t think it’s my role as a man to declare where the line of acceptable advantages is in women’s leagues.
