You’re correct (shooting… women are naturally better shooters than men in my experience.) I agree in competitions that don’t rely on pure physicality this ban wouldn’t make sense, but I don’t agree this is just misogyny versus some other type of prejudice.
I think a one way ban makes sense in some fields because a trans man competing against cis men is already at a physical disadvantage. That’s not the case if the genders are switched.
Curling is the only sport in the Olympics that matters and it would probably be fine ungendered.
Has Domi pointed out elsewhere in this thread. There is no evidence that transgender women have a physical advantage over cisgender women, provided they’ve been on HRT for 2+ years. here’s the meta-analysis they linked
Imagine if Greg had responded “yes,” and then proceeded to provide detailed step-by-step instructions in how to induce lactation. That would have been a real weird twist. I’m talking like a five minute segue in the movie.
They never care about trans men because this is just misogyny.
Now I’m curious: Are there official limits on just how much a trans man is allowed to juice as an athlete?
No clue tbh. There probably are though as testosterone is a monitored thing.
Or because trans men don’t have a physical advantage over Cis men competitors in physical competitions.
Not all Olympic events are about brute strength or reaction time etc.
There’s equestrian, sailing, shooting, and an array of mixed events where a trans man could have an advantage over a Cis man.

Not sure why you’d agree…then double down.
Mmm. I don’t think anybody was saying that misogyny is the ONLY issue.
Literally the original comment I replied to claims, “this is just misogyny.”

That’s neat. Wild how much an affect hormonal changes can have on the body. Humans are weird.
It’s the old “I have nipples Greg, could you milk me?” and the answer is yes.
