I don’t understand why people are complaining about a women’s world cup player being trans
It’s still a biological female, playing against other biological females, which is completley fair? Why does gender matter? I don’t think trans females should compete in female sports due to the physical advantages - it’s not fair on biological females. But there’s no difference here?
Also, imagine if this was a biological man coming out as trans. Would we start persuading them to go be a female footballer? No, since we know that’s unfair on females.
This whole incident just shows in sports that instead of having some acceptance of trans people in sports, we whine and complain saying they’re in the wrong category.

+1 it does, but nothing is wrong with this incident since it’s a biological female who is playing against biological females
Testosterone, on the other hand, has been proven to cause physical advantages in trans men who take HRT. It causes increased muscle mass. It’s comparable to steroids (since steroids are a derivative of testosterone)
