More transgender nonsense!

[Omegstrat6]

I have no problem whatsoever with most transgender people but when some of their number start calling the recent decision by Seb. Coe and world athletics not to allow trans women to compete in women's events one based on "hate" rather than science or fairness it drives me nuts!

Their sense of self entitlement is unreal! Testosterone levels aside, there are plain differences in skeletal make-up and musculature that give men a physical advantage in a huge range of sports. Men have larger lung capacity enabling them to take in more oxygen to feed the muscles, they build muscle mass a lot more easily, longer arms and legs give them a fulcrum advantage in terms of power. Narrower hips also helps with some sports, such as football, as men's legs tend to be more bowed where women have wider hips and tend towards being more knock-kneed (this leads to a far higher percentage of women footballers suffering ACL injuries for example than men). All this surely means that trans women have an inherent advantage when competing with women in the vast majority of sports (with the possible exception of those demanding greater flexibility as women's bodies are generally far more flexible than mens). Sport should be about inclusiveness yes, but above all it should be about fairness. Of course trans sports people should be encouraged to participate and compete-but in their own category of else "open" ones.

As for all the woke nonsense and vitriol aimed at those who dare to point out the blindingly f ucking obvious that "women don't have a *****"....

All this has Jack to do with equality or discrimination but just a massive dose of self entitlement

Trans people are mentally ill and need help and counselling not having their dysphoria lauded and celebrated. And as for young kids suddenly deciding they ain't a boy or a girl but some ''non-binary'' bo**ox is in the most attention seeking to feel special and be different. I've got no time for all this pandering to them.

Having degrees of uncertainty around ***uality during puberty is recognised as being reasonably common place due to hormonal changes in the body and so the recent tendency to jump in at an early age and try and support the notion of someone being trans during this period of pretty normal confusion is both dangerous and damaging.

That said, there are certainly some cases where individuals clearly and genuinely feel that they are "born in the wrong body" and they deserve all the help and support they can be given. Such instances are very rare though and the important thing is not to jump in too early with a diagnosis and more drastic interventions that some have been known to later regret. It's almost like some are deliberately encouraging confused individuals to come out as trans. rather than first exploring reasons behind their feelings or dysphoria! . I really don't think that all this pandering around gender fluidity helps.

There seems to be an explosion of this gender dysmorphia and ***ualising of children alongside, disgusting performances from drag queens in front of kindergarten kids and creepy men pretending to be women encouraging kids to subscribe to their platforms and "go-private". *****philia enablers - pure and simple.

Women's rights are being diminished by this movement and when they speak out they are met with cancel culture, not in all cases from males either. Even lesbians are being targeted for not seeking relationships or being attracted to these lunatics and the lack of common sense speak from the establishment emboldens them. It's a crazy world.
