Transgender man wins women's 100 yd and 400 yd freestyle races.

This will be a big problem in 5-10 years time. There are so many teenagers who are transitioning at the moment; far greater numbers than in the previous decade.

There is a clear advantage if a competitive Male athlete moves to the female event.

Say a 2:09 male runner becomes a woman and completes in female marathon, their time wont drop much from 2:08 if at all.

Girls who want boys Who like boys to be girls Who do boys like they're girls Who do girls like they're boys

Always should be someone you really love

As far as i can tell, one swimmer, Thomas, was originally a man, and has gone through HRT therapy, while the other, originally female and still regarded as such as she hasn't undergone treatment, only a double mastectomy.

Does that surgery naturally lead to a reduction in oestrogen production anyway though?

I think once a top golfer or tennis player comes out as transgender thats when things will get very interesting as these are by far the most lucrative female sports.

This is a man pretending to be a woman in order to beat them at this sport and actually being proud of himself.

Its like me, a grown 110kg man competing in the sports day in primary school and laughing in the kids faces as I stomp them in every event.

Its unbelievable how this person isn't embarrassed of himself.

Many women have and have suffered cancel culture as a result, the sporting bodies seem more interested in current social trends than protecting women in sport.

A transgender man is someone who has transitioned from female to male....

The destruction of woman's sports is appealing to alot of the activists involved.

There is a often a raw current of misogyny in this.

If you went ahead with full sexual reassignment surgery to do so, your argument might actually carry some weight. I wonder how many male athletes around the world care enough about winning something at some level (as a woman) that they will go ahead and lop off their penis and balls?

Would you think quite a few? Or maybe not so many?

Is his body the same as any female body? As in apparently they haven't legally transitioned, what other changes have occurred? E.g surgical , what's the hormonal regime they are on that won't necessarily trigger the governing rules

Isn't it a bit weird that the only person to beat the MtoF athlete is a FtoM

Hang on - headline says "transgender man wins..." - but Henig lost...? Or am I misunderstanding?

EDIT - I am, apologies, I thought Thomas had won as it was her name in the headlines and photos on the links)

The gender complication here shows why it makes more sense to talk in terms of sex. A natal (sex) woman was faster than a natal (sex) man. There is nothing unusual about that.

I'm a man who used to be a middle of the pack runner. Though in some mass participation races I'd have been in the top third of male finishers, but I never ran a race where I wasn't beaten by many women. So, it means nothing that a natal woman can beat a natal man. There is a significant overlap between male and female performance. The performance difference between men and women is most obvious at the top level.

This is true but has little bearing on the topic, elite women or even women in the top 10% of their sport are more than capable of beating men that are in the 20-40% category of their sport, at top level this is not the case.

In combat sports you will find the same but the damage done to a woman can and if they continue on this path will end in the loss of life of a woman to a man that has transitioned.

That's fair enough.

Will you please show me a world record in sport that a woman has which is better than a mans?

The exception does not prove the rule.

I am left with the impression you are happy enough for a man that has transitioned to beat a woman to a pulp to suit your beliefs/wants.

You will not be remembered well in time when when the gullible realise the evidence was there but you championed the killing of women by transitioned men, JMHO.
