        I don’t know what you’re trying to do here but it doesn’t feel nice. The comment was “Sounds like we need trans leagues.” And I said that’s the only thing that’s “fair”.

        Because I don’t think it’s fair to have trans people play with the cis genders. On the other hand, I want them to have the ability to play. Although with the current landscape of hate and useless discussions, that seems to be only possible in their own leagues.

        Compromises need to be made and people don’t realize that.

          Why?

          On the other hand, I want them to have the ability to play.

          Which specific sport do you want them to play? There are not enough trans athletes for any team sport to make up a league. Should they all be forced to play a singles sport or no sport at all?

            Why?

            Unfair regarding to strength and endurance.

            I don’t care.

              I don’t care.

              And now the truth comes out. You don’t actually care about whether trans people can play in sports.

              But do go on and explain how trans men have an unfair advantage in men’s sports.

              Edit: Sorry, downvoting is not an explanation for their advantage. Quite cowardly though.

                How nice of you to put words into my mouth.

                And now the truth comes out. You don’t actually care about whether trans people can play in sports.

                I meant I don’t care about what sports they play. You ask stupid questions. Never did I imply I don’t care about them being able to play in sports. You made that up because it enforces your prejudice. As I said, these discussions are stupid.

                But do go on and explain how trans men have an unfair advantage in men’s sports.

                I will not go and explain why trans men have an unfair advantage, because I believe they do and whatever argument you have I don’t believe. I don’t have to explain myself. The only value I hold myself to is that I believe everybody should be able to play, which I think would be possible by going halfway having some sort of all genders league.

                Edit: Sorry, downvoting is not an explanation for their advantage. Quite cowardly though.

                I haven’t downvoted your comment yet. But I will. You’re starting yet another useless discussion and are putting words in my mouth.

                  If you won’t explain it, all I can assume is bigotry. Feel free to change my mind. I am open to any explanation.
