You need to consider edge cases when making the rules. You can’t just ignore them and hope that people don’t abuse them.
I’m not acting like being trans is a choice. I want competitions to be in as level of a playing field as possible. Competing in sports is a choice though.
The edge case is called that for a reason, dictating every level of competition based on edge cases is how you push a narritive
Let olympic athletes and organizers sort out how they want to handle the .01% of athletes that are trans, basically every other level of competition it doesnt fuckin matter. The only reason its brought up 99% of the time is to push a transphobic narritive and i am so fucking sick of it
the issue is bringing bigoted government legislation into what should be exclusively top level competition. you and i both know that ted cruz (example) isnt gonna be playing touchy when it comes to taking away our rights
if its just the top level people deciding what an advantage is, in just high level sport, then fair. but letting that seep down to collage, high school, and below is a path to genetal inspections on teens and children

Ok, you have no idea what you’re talking about. Not everything is transphobic.
You can’t just make rules that are like “this is allowed unless Nikki@lemmy.world thinks it provides an unfair advantage”.
You don’t make rules and just hope and pray people don’t find edge cases and abuse it.
