Trans women and fairness in sports

Transgender Athletes Could Be At A Physical Disadvantage, Research Shows

Specific claims of unfairness are self debunking if the source is at all honest about the situation.

For example trans marathon runner Glenique Frank finished 6,159th in the female category but you would get an entirely different impression if you didn't read past the headlines in the daily mail: archive.ph/udkN7

Similarly, Riley Gaines's fairness grievance was literally a tie for fifth place.

Nobody's placement changes if Lia Thomas didn't compete and again, the complaint was that a trans women dared to perform equally to a cis women athlete.

Then there's the chess controversy which is so ridiculous and misogynist that I don't need to dignify it with a debunking. It's just sexism dressed up as concern for cis women.
