I know the trans-women in sport issue is almost non-existent but it's probably the biggest talking point in the comments it seems.

Not to surprising, since it is a standpoint that lays the foundation for oppressing and dehumanising one of the most vulnerable groups if society.

First it was just Trans people in sport, then it is trans people in bathrooms and the next step is eradicating trans peoples existence from public spaces.

And yet the comments and downvotes shows how contentious it is which I knew it would be when I wrote it.

Probably extra contentious because it's trans discrimination on Pride weekend. And there's the fact that some research (backed by the International Olympic Committee) suggests that trans-women may perform worse than cis-women.

Even if more research comes out that shows otherwise (entirely possible considering that it's hard to get a decent sample population of elite trans athletes as there are so few), discrimination is not a solution. The simplest solution would be to get rid of gendered leagues and group athletes by measureable athletic abilities. Probably would make most people with an actual vested interest happy, with exception of those who want to keep paying women less.

Says the person who brought it up.
