Its not the same thing.
Its a sports issue, and scientifically speaking, some athletes would have an unfair advantage based on their birth gender, or the taking of supplements that would be banned for any other athlete.

But you are supposed to HATE her for being transgender. That is their point.

This is a good read if you are a bigoted moron
Why?
I sense some pent up sexual frustration.

That's a good question. I was moved by the story and very impressed at her taking this shot at 51.
Who said they hated her?
Who said we are supposed to hate her?

Multi sport, who seems to take personal offense at a 51 year old lady playing basketball
Which post?
I cant find anyone saying we are supposed to hate anyone, except you, a few posts back.
The issue is that nobody has a lab kit with them on the soccer field so if the situation arises you have no choice but to take the person or coaches word for it. The mere questioning of the legitimacy of fairness is considered bigotry.

Wow.
1. Unfair advantage
2. Would not want my daughter playing against him
3. Girls are not biologically built the same as men and some of the teeneage girls can get hurt.
4. He took away a roster spot away from a worthy girl.
But apparently in your PC world none of this matters.
Like equating deadly diseases with syndromes.
Hopefully none of us here on the forum actually have to see their daughter play against 50 man who is trying to relieve his glory days..

How many girls have you tested on the field? I see lots of girls w masculine features on the field, should we test them? Look at NWSL, many athletes in that league don't exactly exude classic femininity. Should we all have a chance to examine them? Leagues allow players in, assuming they followed the rules like checking relevant documentation. Having anyone outside the governing body imply they're intitled to perform an examination on said athlete is simply unacceptable!
If its not bigotry who cares what some asshole thinks.
The integrity of a sport rests on delivering a fair contest.
Without that, might as well shitcan the whole thing.

LOL - of course!!!! Every single thing you read you should see who wrote it & if it is considered a credible source, credibility is earned not assumed...

HER, I think that distinction alone is where you lost your argument...
Setting aside those who are transgender, would it be fair to everyone involved to allow boys to start signing up and participating in girls' leagues? Maybe it would - I don't know. Although I think that going co-ed could lead to the near elimination of women in sports, something no one wants to see happen.
But if you do think it would be unfair, why does it become fair because someone transitions? I think that that is the basic question that lingers. Can someone answer that without calling me a bigot or claiming that I hate transgender people?
