Sorry a mem got posted today showing a what looked like a man beating up some female wrestler. Everyone assumed it was a guy transgendering to female, but actually was a woman taking hormones to be a guy and whooping on another woman.

I guess we haven’t changed anything, since then.

I would think male hormones would be considered performance enhancing drugs, and would disqualify, him/her from any competition. JMHO

It seems very unfair to allow trans-people to compete in women/girls sports.

No offense Paladin, but when you use their terms you honor their intent and support their agenda. They are men competing in women's sports.

They are mentally disturbed men competing in women’s sports instead of being institutionalized.

You didn’t play football because someone might hit a ref?
Edit: What sports/hobbies did you participate in, where there wasn’t a risk of another person’s bad sportsmanship couldn’t ruin it for everyone?

Yep. I have even seen it at chess tournaments of all places. Guys throwing one another up against the wall, dumping coca-cola on opponents, etc.
One famous grandmaster in a losing position even stood up on a chair and screamed out, "Why must I lose to this idiot?"
