Well, obviously we have pretty much one set of views on that, but this video from the US shows both sets of views, and intelligence wise I know which side I am supporting.

Am not watching video. Answer is very simple - No.

BeMoreMagdalen · 17/10/2019 15:45

Yeah, I saw that video. It's clearly from one perspective, but tbh, I bet he had no trouble finding a large sample of blue haired sloganizing cult members to pick from. They really do their own heavy lifting, you hardly need the good sense in the middle.

NO

mintcorneto · 17/10/2019 15:47

Absolutely not. I believe the majority of people agree

Soubriquet · 17/10/2019 15:47

Without watching the video

NO!!

No

JoyceJeffries · 17/10/2019 15:48

No.

VickyEadieofThigh · 17/10/2019 15:49

No, because sports are segregated by SEX for a very, very strong reason.

Frequency · 17/10/2019 15:51

No. Sport is separated by biological sex not gender. Gender has feck all to do with sport. It is not the fact the men traditionally wear suits and ties that give them heavier bone structure, higher testosterone and more muscle mass than women.

No. In many sports a transwomen could seriously hurt a natal woman, even accidentally.
As soon as a transman starts taking testerone, they could hurt a woman unintentionally.

They need to play in mixed sex sports, or play socially in completely non contact sports bit not compete.

Longdistance · 17/10/2019 15:57

No from me. Otherwise that’s known as cheating.

nauticant · 17/10/2019 15:57

Well I watched the video. It's one of those that even after 5 minutes, the duration of the video, you feel noticeably less intelligent. And pretty weary.

SarahTancredi · 17/10/2019 15:59

Dont need to watch the video.

It's no.

BarbaraStrozzi · 17/10/2019 15:59

No from me too. Fairness and safety both rule it out.

MockersthefeMANist · 17/10/2019 16:00

Should immature adults be allowed to play in kids teams?

Should anyone who doesn't feel quite right today be classified as a paralympian?

Can I ride my Triumph Bonneville in the next Tour de France?

Michelleoftheresistance · 17/10/2019 16:02

Flip it over, OP. Should women be allowed equal and fair sporting opportunities? Is it in the best interests of women and women's sports to allow some males to enter women's sports and no longer allow women female only sporting opportunities?

It's honestly not all and only about trans people.

HorseWithNoFucksToGive · 17/10/2019 16:02

No. With knobs on.

Lolling..

Sexnotgender · 17/10/2019 16:04

Absolutely not.

IsadoraQuagmire · 17/10/2019 16:04

I watched as much of the video as I could bear (about one minute) What clueless fools, and the answer, of course, is NO!

Michelleoftheresistance · 17/10/2019 16:04

Oh and another one - is it in women's best interests, and fair and equitable, that male people are allowed to choose between male sports and mixed sex sports, and women are allowed only mixed sex sports?

How please?

GenderfreeJoe · 17/10/2019 16:05

No.

NotTerfNorCis · 17/10/2019 16:10
