The fact is that most elite athletes have biological advantages (how many 5'2" people play basketball professionally?). It's up to us to decide what is "unfair"

Sadly, the default assumption many people have is that men are always better than women at sports, that transgender people are lying in some way, and thus it is "unfair" to allow them to compete

Very rare I disagree with gid but he's got the wrong end of it here. And I stress i have always been very anti trans phobia, its just that I understand sport. Unfortunately many don't and perhaps should stay in their lane.
