Wow this thread is all over the map. I fully support any transgender individual in a social setting but the reality is there are biological differences between men and women that go deeper than hormones and surgery.
When a transgender female MMA fighter gives his biological female opponent a concussion, broken orbital bone, and she requires 7 staples in her head, after a single round, the competitive side becomes broken.
When a transgender female high-school athlete crushes 40 year old records with ease, the competitive side becomes broken.
When a transgender weightlifter breaks decade old records and beats her biologically female competition by over 45lbs, the competitive side is broken.
There are countless examples, and I'm all for social rights, but there was a reason for separation in a competitive athletic setting and social progression shouldn't break that.
