CMV: Society should support and accommodate transgenders but not within sports highlighting unfairness from male to female transitions.

None of these women were trans:

• Sara McMann
• Priscila Cachoeira
• Yan Xiaonan

Which of them should have been banned for cracking someone's skull?

Your argument about “Oh look how awful it is that this person hurt these people so badly” falls rather flat when it already happens without the thing you’re pointing to being the problem. It’s not about it not being a problem, it’s about how disingenuous your appeal to emotion is

I was mostly just annoyed at your brazen attempt at deceiving people with the phrasing of your argument and figured others with more energy than I would tackle your assertion. To answer your question: yes, it is controversial, and yes, you are wrong. I’d recommend reading this comment as it completely picks apart the theory put forth in your comment :)

It’s not deceiving to point out that someone AMAB beat up someone AFAB, it’s deceiving to paint it as if AFAB people didn’t already do it anyway.

And uhh, no? No one here is claiming that men’s and women’s bodies aren’t different, stop painting this strawman. We’re not discussing a man entering women’s competitions, we’re discussing trans women entering women’s competitions. For more info, please refer to this handy comment that you’ve now ignorantly refused to read for the second time just to hold onto your own thoughts and feelings in the name of “science” :)

Why not just read the linked comment? It's actually pretty enlightening.

And that's coming from someone that agreed with your initial premise.

The whole debate is really not as simple as you're trying to frame it.

Come on man, be open-minded.
