fr. like be honest with yourself about why including trans women in those spaces makes you uncomfortable. just because you can imagine a hypothetical trans woman being creepy or whatever (like cis women can be) isn't a reason to exclude them as a whole from any space.

No I think it’s something that deserves just as much respect as trans women being included. If AFAB want a place for them and they feel safe in that, it is nobodies place to tell them what they get to have or not.

It mainly has to do with sports. Females on average biologically have smaller lung capacity, smaller skeletal size and bone mass, are shorter than males, etc. which puts females who are competing against transgender males at a huge disadvantage. Regarding bathrooms, I and many others think that whole system is messed up to begin with and that we should have more individual bathrooms for privacy

Studies actually show that the advantages of trans women are no longer present after about a year or two of hormone replacement therapy. The correct term is trans women for male to female trans people

there are also already hormone regulations in place that have been scientifically tested to ensure no advantage…..

Hormones don’t change one’s lung size, height, bone density and skeletal size

if those were found to be statistically significant in performance it would be regulated.

It is statistically significant in performance…🤦🏻‍♀️regulation of trans people in sports depends on the owners of the league, so it’s a mixed outcome because some will ignore it and think changing one’s secondary sex characteristics is enough while others see that ones primary sex characteristics such as lung capacity, height, bone density and skeletal size absolutely have a huge impact in performance

all of the studies show that increased skeletal size/height etc actually become *disadvantageous* once on feminizing hormones. the changes to musculature, tendons, metabolism etc mean that trans women have to work *harder* that comparable cis women due to their changes in body composition. + there is no competitive difference between trans woman who never went thru testosterone puberty and cis women.
