Utah bans transgender athletes in girls sports despite veto

I'm very left leaning but this is an issue that a lot of people are flat out not using their brains to discuss. Inclusion at all costs, even if those costs are destroying sports for natural born women. It takes one trans athlete in competitive sports to knock every single women down a place. That's what just happened with that trans swimmer. Blew every record, took first place, bumped someone out of their spot. Why? Well, because that's a body that went through 20 years as a man and reaped all the genetic benefits of doing so. Oh, and she still had near male levels of testosterone, about 9 times more than the natural women she was competing against, because that's what the rules had labeled as acceptable. It's a complete joke.

Transition can not take the body of a man and make it equal to the body of a natural women, and that body will always have the genetic advantage of being born male. That's not hate, that's not judgement, that's simply fact, and people acting like it isn't is really frustrating to see.

Trans people have it tough, but that doesn't mean they should get a pass and be able to compete in an enhanced state and shit all over naturals who trained their whole lives to compete in these sports.
