Prior to the 2018 Commonwealth Games and the Tokyo Olympics
the TERFS said Laurel Hubbard was unbeatable even though Hubbard's best lift is a massive 55kg under the world record of Li Wen Wen. In 2018 Hubbard broke her elbow & in Tokyo she came last. omny.fm/shows/afternoo…

The important question isn’t, Do trans women have advantages? What really matters is can trans women & cis women compete against one another in meaningful competition. There’s no indication that trans women are anywhere close to taking over women’s sport, it’s not happening now.

It’s not likely to happen anytime in the future.

Whenever the TERFs have to cite either McKinnon, Fox, Hubbard, Mouncey or the 2 trans HS students in Connecticut as their example of the ’trans advantage remind them not a single trans woman has ever won a sports scholarship

anywhere in the world or broken a single elite WR in womens sports or even won a a single Olympic or Commonwealth Games medal of any colour in any sport in 9 Olympic & 4 Commonwealth Games.

Not one boxing title, not one wrestling title, or MMA title, has ever been won by a trans woman athlete they have never dominated a single womens sports, if trans women have this advantage where is it?

The IOC amended their policy (removed surgery) in Nov 2015, 7 years ago in that time we have had three Olympic Games Rio & PyeongChang 2018, Tokyo 2021.

Only two trans women athletes even qualified in these three Olympic Games & one came dead last (Laurel Hubbard). In the 7 years not one single elite world title or world record has been broken by a transgender woman athlete.

The NCAA removed gender surgery as a prerequisite to compete in 2011 in those 10years we have not seen a single Division 1 title won by a trans athlete. We have had one division 2 trans female who has one title. Her times are 5 seconds slower than Div 1 record level over 400m.

Many Usa high school policicies don’t follow IOC guidelines in all the Usa High Schools we have seen only two athletes that have excelled but they are no where near their age group national record level & neither hold a state record or won a scholarship.

Finally the argument most used against trans women athletes is also a myth, the haters say: “Fallon Fox brutalised Tamikka Brents in their MMA fight; it was a travesty of a sporting event; and it’s evidence that trans women have a huge unfair advantage.

Lately haters have been pushing this photo of Fallon and some other female fighter who is a bloody mess. Fallon never even fought this woman. They say she “broke her skull.” This is loosely based on another fight where Fallon fractured her opponent Tamikka Brents’ orbital bone.

So now there are rumours that Fallon broke two women’s skulls. Fake news.

Not to mention the fact that an orbital bone fracture is a common injury in women’s MMA. This injury is so common, you can get it in training

Devoid of any sensible arguments against transgender athletes the #Terfs subject us daily to a carefully crafted sideshow of straw man conjecture, smoke and mirrors.
