World Athletics bans trans athletes from competing in women’s events 

Headline. MEN ARE BANNED FROM PRETENDING TO BE WOMEN IN SPORT

Finally, *a rule to prevent cheating!*

It's really very pathetic that there needs to be a ban to enforce common sense....

Men competing against women in weightlifting and physical sports, is like an adult competing against a child, and the audacity that these men had to celebrate their hollow victory fills me with anger. How humiliating it must have been to work your entire life overcoming all the obstacles in your way, only for some dude who would never stand a chance at men's sports to come along and take the title away from you, simply because he was born with a nutsack.

Finally, they did something right by biological women.

Finally. Trans vs trans, women vs women, and men vs men. How it should be.

This is just the first successful push back - as Amelia, said, it needs to be applied across all sports and at all levels; not just Olympics, not just Track & Field.

A ray of hope with common sense. So if the are trying to protect women’s sport lets get the priority right and say they cant compete in women’s bathrooms in society as well. Posie Parker is right and WE ALL know it.

The fact that THIS is controversial is the real mystery. I swear there are no thoughts in these peoples heads

Finally. It's insane that a percentage of women (if they can define what a woman is) have been supporting this at the cost of their own.

It really bothers me when people use exceptions to argue generalities. This gentleman using the example that of the trans football player that is smaller and weaker than their female teammates isn’t an argument for trans athletes in sports, it’s actually the opposite. That trans athlete simply isn’t built for the sport they’re attempting to compete it which is the case for the vast majority of society. Most of us aren’t big enough, strong enough, fast enough etc. to play professional sports. That isn’t society being unfair, that is nature being unfair which is just a harsh reality ther trans athletes need to accept.

Why does this headline even need to exist...

Now we need to retroactively undo the prior wrongful winnings of transgender females and insure that the proper biological women athletes are properly rewarded for their sacrifices and hard work.

How could they deny these men from bullying women in their own sports!

The amount of schizophrenics mad men, who don’t have to work as hard as women do, now have to compete in their own category. Y’all just mad you can’t win now and actually have to play fair 😭

FINALLY. LONG OVERDUE. EVERY SPORTS ORGANIZATION NEEDS TO DO THIS ASAP.

Finally !!!! Biological facts ! Get recognised, over desire and fetish .

Why don’t trans woman compete in mens sport? Same thing surely

The obvious solution is women compete in women sports, men compete in men's sports and trans individuals have their own category.

If they went through male puberty, they should not be allowed to compete in women's sport

Men already have their own leagues. These people need a reality check and their own sports division.

This world still has a chance ❤️

It doesn’t matter what gender you claim. You should only be allowed to compete against people with the same chromosomes and biological sex.

After what happened in Nashville and the Harry Potter game I have no more remorse for these people.

Women Justice served. Great Job. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

There are lines in society that should not be crossed and the issue of trans competing in women's sports is at the top of the list.

Woke needs to be addressed. Trans can compete against each others. And don’t call those men for she.

👏👏👏👏👏 a step in the right direction finally.

Peter's example of the man playing on a football team and still being the smallest and weakest is not an argument that should be considered. Even if he's small and weak, he is still a man. He is still taking a spot away from a woman. He is still ruining the team spirit and the fantastic feeling of playing only with other women. He is also still probably invading his teammates' changing rooms and showers. HE IS A MAN. Even if he's small and weak, he's a man and he doesn't belong on a woman team.

trans athletes should be allowed to compete against other trans athletes, fair is fair

Trans women are not banned from men's athletes and welcome to compete with men😂😂

Thank God but it’s still crazy it ever got to this point.

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Thank you for caring about women!

If you've gone through male puberty you cannot compete in women's sport. This statement is not anti-trans, it's pro-fairness. I am pro-trans rights.

Imagine watching women's Brazilian beach volleyball with players with bumps in all the wrong places. Zero spectators. Zero sponsorships. Zero prize money.

Wow ,there s still a little sanity left in the world . Amazing !

Finally! That’s just like me throwing a wig on and saying I’m trans! I’m faster, stronger, got bigger bone density! This is crazy

Wonderful... Finally someone has some sense...ALL SPORTS need to adopt this.

GOOD !!! About time for some common sense to prevail...

Finally common sense kicks in.

In terms of cardiorespiratory physiology and anatomy, the maximum male (XY) cardiac output is 24 litres/minute, and the maximum female (XX) is 18 litres/minute. The maximum male lung capacity is 6 litres and the average female is 4.5 litres. Those born biologically male (XY), therefore have a significant advantage over those born biologically female (XX), regardless of hormone status. The differences in pelvic and knee anatomy result in different loads and frequencies of injury between the sexes. The female pelvis is wider with a tendency to femoral neck anteversion, resulting in an intoeing gait. The female lower limbs tend to be shorter and this combined with the wider pelvis results in a greater Q angle at the knees. Female athletes carry an increased risk of anterior cruciate ligament rupture of between 3 to 8 times that of male athletes, depending on the sport played.

To end the discussion. If they want to compete, let them compete in their own category. Men's category Women's category Transmen category Transwoman category

Have their own trans sports - the Trans men against the Trans women... lets see how they like it !!! Trans Olympics -YES I would watch that.

Sports is NOT a birth right. This is not the fight to eat at the same restaurants, or drink from the same fountain, the right to be educated, or the right to vote. These people aren't looking for equal rights, they want exception, advantages, there's a difference. Go form a trans-league. Bottomline.

That was really annoying when New Zealand Athletics applied to let Hubbard compete as female weightlifter. There was near zero support when they simply stated what they were going to do. No asking or submisiions from the public allowed.

What really gets me is when the man wins against the ladies ,they throw up thier arms in victory as if they did something amazing .

Nope, it didn't. It banned men from competing with women. Say the truth.

Finally right Direction and common sense🎉🎉🎉👏👏👏

There's no "trans athletes". There's just men trying to get easy wins. It's sickening.

This is an outrage! I'm a 300lb man who identifies as a female, flyweight boxer...now I'll never get that big, gold belt!

So it should be hallelujah 🙏

The very moment someone says "You're Transphobic!" they've lost any right to be taken seriously

This is NOT anti-trans. This is pro-fairness and pro-women's sport. Trans athletes are free to compete in the open category. If there is enough demand then maybe there should be a trans category.

Good. How this ever became "a thing" still boggles the mind.

About time. Leave women alone .

As a Gay man myself, I approved of this ban 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Why is it so hard for people to be their assigned gender? If they're born male, then they should BE male. And if they're born female, then they should BE female. How hard can it be? Men need to realize that transitioning from male to female does NOT guarantee a chance for them to have a baby, because its biologically impossible to become actually pregnant. Same with females who try to transition to males. I'm sorry, but that's not happening. Trans-men can still have a baby, because they are *biologically female* so there's no way they're gonna magically grow a PP, it will never, EVER happen. I was born male, and stayed male. They don't see me complaining. Folks should do the same and be the gender THEY ARE BORN WITH, end of discussion.

About time this freak show is sorted

Finally some common sense prevails! Things are really getting crazy nowadays.

Now take away those unreachable records.

It only took going head first into clown world for anyone to figure out how ridiculous everything was.

Pretend ppl should have their own group, period. I do not think pretend woman should be in our spaces, and muck us again, and again😢Think about this. Have you seen pretend men from biological women to compete in men’s sports, or going in men’s bathrooms? They know that they are not safe there, don’t they? I could be wrong, but I have not seen that reverse issue.

About damn time aswell

Finally! This was so unfair letting biological men compete with biological women! I don’t care what you feel, this is a competition!

Make a category ONLY FOR TRANS!!!!! THAT'S FAIR!!!!!!!!!

Crap I just picked out a dress to start my new Olympic career.

The moment that for 0,5 minute Piers said that He would identify as black lesbian is already legendary! Thank U Piers for all your work in this clown world.

They need to make the TransLympics where they are the only ones competing against each other. I'm sure it will go over like the WNBA!

Create a Trans category for all sports. Simple and fair🎉

Banning cross dressing men in women sports is a good thing regardless of how a thing presents itself to the public regardless of how much estrogen things take and regardless of how many reassignment surgery a thing has had at its core it is still male and the workout and training regimens necessary to become a top athlete will give a man an Unfair advantage as they will be bigger and stronger than a woman can possibly be

They should just create their own category

Completely agree. To allow Trans women in female sports is ludicrous. Absolutely bananas. You never see females switching to male and competing against males, do you.... Because it would not make sense.

Wonderful news!! If anything, create a trans-only league. Let them battle it out together!

Let's call them what they really are: Cheats.

I'm a trans woman and I support banning trans women from competing in women/s sport if they had a male puberty... The word doesn't have to accommodate all of our wishes.. There are things that we, the trans women, need to accept. I don't like some people are pushing an agenda to confuse people's common sense. I'm fearful because those ridiculous people give us, sincere trans women a bad name and they make us a target...

It's crazy that they even needed to make this ban. Biological men should have never been allowed to compete in women's sports in the first place. She's right this bann needs to be on all levels and he

Let trans compete against other trans period.

Yay about time fingers cross it filters down to all levels to the grassroots levels in all sports

Finally!! 🎉 Common sense prevails!!

They call straight men's energy toxic masculinity but what do you call a trans man who wants to physically dominate women athletically? A hero? A kind man?

THANK YOU GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There is a common sense in some people

Should have been done years ago; no common sense anymore.

How the f*c is this controversial it is common sense that men pretending to be women in sports is unfair.

You got men you got women and then you got fruits all in a league of there own

You can always see when someone is smarter and rational because they actually listen, say something you havent already heard a millions times and speak calmly and directly

Solve the problem by having a sport category for "trans" people to compete against each other

Why do they call them "trans women", they're not, they're men. Call them "men pretending to be women", that's much more accurate!!!

People forgot that COVID pandemic stripped the world off one of the most interesting events in sports history - namely, the 2020 Olympic games. That was the first games when transgenders were allowed to compete against women.

Don't they have a special Olympics already?

🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 big W for women all over the world

Trans vs Trans is reasonable. It's about time. I hope the records set previously are placed into the Trans category.

This woman, actual woman, makes so much sense. The male guest makes no sense. He should be promoting no separation in sports based on real or imaginary gender, essentially everyone in one class. Of course it would highlight women as physically inferior, which is not allowed to be mentioned. How can we have women given physical jobs in the workplace, with reduced standards for women, when it is shown they don't qualify because of inferiority.

There is a simple solution just add a third category. Male female and trans or undecided . This gives everyone a group to compete in

It's pretty depressing that this ruling took more than 30 seconds to go into law. "What's your birth certificate say?" and that should have been the end of the discussion. I was watching a video about trans women in men's prison wanting to be moved to women's. You put a man in a women's prison and they get in a fight, they could beat most women in there to death in no time. sports, incarnation, and restrooms are areas women need to be protected. If you wanna grow tits and wear a dress and go by a female name, that doesn't make you a woman. It just makes you a guy who's extremely confused about his identity

"they said they were transphobic- that's their response to anything" , i'm not a fan a piers but that was nice

This mess never should have been permitted in the 1st place. These individuals are NOT women & never will be anything but men. People need to stop referring to these dudes as women when everyone knows they are men. People need to stop coddling them since the babying & coddling has caused this foolishness.

So my husband's chances of winning a gold medal in woman's sports without any professional experience are gone? Well, that's a good thing.

Thank god

So those people say that sex and gender are NOT the same and the way you FEEL is the thing that determines whether you are a man or a woman. For them it is not how others perceive you (based on your LOOKS and BODY) that matters but how you yourself feel about that. And yet they still want to engage into activity that is basically "body dependent". Where is the logic?

Cross dressing (the correct term) is not an excuse for a man competing in women's sports. End.
