Should We Ban Trans Women From Pro-Sport? | Good Morning Britain

World Athletics has decided to exclude transgender women who have gone through male puberty from female events. Is the ban on trans women in women's athletics fair?
Alison Bender says 'there's no simple answer to this' & that it's about 'understanding what makes it fair for all.' While India Willoughby disagrees as she says 'the idea that it's not a level playing field is just rubbish.'

India willoughby was literally saying the opposite a few years ago, just jumping on the bandwagon

[@TravelsTTG]

Exactly

[@Okayricky]

Saying a “So called” trans woman” Is a woman”is like saying that I can create a fake profile online as a woman. They’re nothing but about imposters, fakes. Create your own trans category.

The question shouldn't be framed as *"Should trans women compete in pro sports"* because nobody is saying that they shouldn't be in sports.
The issue is that they should not be in Women's sports competing with other biological females because they're biological males .....and as biological males they have an unfair advantage against women.
So they can compete in sports, they just don't want to compete in sports unless it's in the Women's category.
There's a reason why they don't want to compete against their own biological sex or against other trans on their same level, and that's bc they know they can't win and this is why 90% of the time they were already in sports competing with the males but were losing, then they switched over to the womens side and suddenly started breaking records and breaking skulls!
Competing against their biological sex/other males gives them a loss because they weren't good enough when they were competing with the men!
Competing against women give them an automatic victory and win, which allows them access to money, popularity, opportunities, social media attention, scholarships, championships and maybe even sponsorships that were supposed to go to women!
This is the reason why they turn their nose up whenever people suggest the idea that trans should have their own category, division or sports bc that's not what they want.
It's not about having the right to play sports it's about cheating to get an easy win and to take opportunities from deserving women

If they are taking hormones, it counts on my book as doping.
Imo, if people taking cold pills can't be allowed to participate in high level, neither should people that take unnecessary hormones to change their healthy bodies.
They made their choice. Now let them lie on the bed they made.

It's definitely doping, and doping is cheating.
Biological females (Trans Men) are not allowed to take drugs (steroids) to get their levels up to biological men to play in men's sports, right?? Why not? Because that would be considered doping and cheating!
Ok then,
On the flip side,
TranswxMen aka MTF trans(biological males) should also not be allowed to take drugs (HRT/Blockers) to get their male hormones down to the level of biological women in order to play in Women's sports because thats ALSO doping and cheating!
At the end of the day, biological males have no business playing in women's sports with Women (& girls) because Men/Males, have an unfair advantage!!!

[@user-qb5nk7lx5r]

These trans women were unknown/mediocre male athletes as men..One thing you'll NEVER see is a trans male boxing champ,a trans male track champ,or a trans male impregnating anyone

[@edwilliamson956]

Why is it that the women who attempt to transform to men don’t ever try to compete in men’s sports?

[@serenitynowyolo]

If you have gone through male puberty it is no longer a fair playing field. Suppressing testosterone levels after puberty still presents any fair disadvantage for biological women

[@sthom3052]

For me there is no argument . There is an advantage . Fo as many studies as you want . Its not about winning and losing its the fact they are men ,nothing can ever change that

[@Antarctide]

The fact that this question is being asked seriously shows how ill society has become.

[@Jaquelinedesouza-yl8yh]

World Athletics should exclude transgender women who have gone through male puberty or not from female events.

[@GrahamBorland-cz8cx]

Hardly the best two interviewees on a vacuous topic.

[@OSIRIS1980WHS]

YES.

[@jascam1]

If it was a level playing field regardless of gender then there wouldn’t be a need to have gender categories in all organized sports. This is an abomination a cat can’t wake up tomorrow and bark like a dog.

Yesssssssss. Yesssssssssss
