No? They can play with the boys. Changing rooms can be arranged. Why is it important for a trans-girl who went through male puberty to play with girls that are smaller and physically weaker?
I should probably clarify that i mean compete in competitions, dont care in the slightest who or how they want to practice. That’s just fair.
Trans girls are not stronger than other girls. Any increased muscle mass vanishes with hormone therapy as the testosterone supporting it goes away. Likewise the body remodels stuff like cartilages as all of this is influenced by hormones. That’s why Olympia goes so overboard with hormone tests, even forcing cis-women to do invasive measures to reduce their natural testosterone levels.
The only difference caused by puberty that are irreversible are:
How thick bones are & how they formed
How you sound
Where you grow how much hair
And of those three ONLY the first can be of any value in any argument. And definitely not for badminton. Uninformed bullshit arguments cause WAY more problems for cis-women in sports than they could ever solve. There’s nothing fair about that way of arguing.
Oh, right! They can just stop doing what they love! I’m sorry, my empathy-riddled ass didn’t think about this obvious solution.

I see, so it’s an information problem.

Yeah, but then you’d need rules for checking that too.
Yes, and one is enough for making competitions unfair.
How would you propose women prove they are not trans and can thus play on the women’s team?
I’m not qualified to answer that. I assume a doctor might be able to answer.
But not having a dick is a start.
And how would you like these women to prove they don’t have a dick?
Don’t you think they know if they do or don’t?
So this is just a “circle one: do you have a penis Y/N” thing on a form and as long as they choose N, they can be on the women’s team?
Wouldn’t really prove anything, but if they lied there would be evidence? Are you stupid?
I’m going to ignore the insult and ask you what evidence there would be.
