if it were true that one can easily just transition and go play in the female league of a sport and immediately dominate, why aren't all of the worlds biggest and most successful athletes trans women? if experiencing a "male" puberty makes a trans woman inherently stronger than any cis woman out there, why has only one open trans woman competed in the olympics ever (where she unfortunately did not place in the top three)? if it were as easy as the right makes it sound, you'd think we'd dominate every category effortlessly but you just don't see that. the opposition to trans women in sports relies completely on a fantasy.
I think this is super helpful especially when responding to the dipshits. Definitely keeping these talking points in the chamber.
it's usually effective with these people because there's no argument for banning trans women from women's sports that's based in reality, its genuinely a make-believe issue.
estrogen also really weakens you! it's totally a thing. pre-transition, i was in the gym pretty frequently so i built up quite a lot of muscle mass. now i can't lift something more than like 10 pounds. even had to get a polymer stock for my rifle because it was too heavy.
