Transgender rugby player playing with 'a smile on my face'

This is BS and nothing to do with equality. its called COMMON SENSE and LOGIC. People are gonna get hurt.

Always confusing when you see this transgender crap in your feed and you can't figure out initially if it's a man that "became" a female or the opposite.

Seeing a picture of that person usually resolves it... funny how that works.

Yes.
Also, apparently AI is being TERF-y by tagging trans people as their correct sex in facial recognition trials.

The tallest person I found clicking through was 1.78 for the female wales rugby team: https://www.wru.wales/women/lisa-neumann-2/
And now you're adding a 1.83m player, who probably weighs as much, if not more, than the prop (she's at 90kg, 1.72m): https://www.wru.wales/women/amy-evans/

I'm amazed no one posted this picture:

Not fair and spoils the sport for women.

Aquila said it best, no amount of hormonal treatment will undo the bone and muscle structure this person has.

No issue with someone transitioning, that is their choice. But, it is unfair to play sports on a comparative level with women.

Nutter

We're not entirely sure of that. Maybe they've been removed?

 

[Symphonized]

Ah, how things are going these days in sport could not cut it as a male in sports so change gender.

And men have bigger hearts, which means you can pump more oxygen to your muscles than women can, even a man's fat structure is diffrent to a woman's thanks to diffrent chromosones.

Not chromosomes so much as testosterone. Boys and girls are physiologically very similar (except for external sex organs) until puberty and the chief differentiation at that point is the hormone testosterone.
The effects of testosterone are chronic, long lasting, so the muscular and growth impact during puberty that differentiates the man and woman is there from that point on.

It should not be a problem if it wears a number 8 jersey - it will then be the eight "man".

Noted. But isn't it the chromosomes which turn on the testosterone production?

No.

When the system matures it releases gonadotropin-releasing hormone which in turn causes your pituitary gland to release all the fun hormones.

I guess at best you would say the chromosomes are the underlying defect in the system which determine how it uses the testosterone (and other hormones)

Sexist! Men and women are equal and deserve to compete together!
