I remember reading something a while back about how the men’s 100th ranked tennis player would beat the number one female tennis player, and it wouldn’t even be close.

Without steroids or any other performance enhancing drug, this swimmer will never stand a chance against any man in a swimming event. Maybe diving. But I do have to admire her/his moxy for trying it.

If “it” lost 20 - 30lbs I’m guessing “it’s” time would get better.

Gee...who could have seen that coming?

This Thing is a total embarrassment to sports.

Transmen will never be successful at sports where they have to compete with real, biological men.

You might be thinking of Lia Thomas born William at UPenn.

This one is born a girl, now with a mastectomy and testosterone supplements.

"Instead, I’m trying to connect with my teammates in new ways, to cheer loudly, to focus more on the excitement of the sport,"

Yes and they are called Cheerleaders!

Grow up without testosterone and have child bearing hips, good luck.

Chicks have a “Q angle” which is why they have so many knee injuries.
The typically also have greater joint laxity.

Heres is a quick way to check on whats what.. Anytime you see “trans-xx”. substitute the word “fake” ,IE; “trans-man” = “Fake woman” . trans-woman = fake man.

No, no. A transman is a fake man, and a transwoman is a fake woman.

And if they say "he" then it's really a "she", and if they say "she" it's really a "he," and if they say "they" or "ze" then it's really an "it."

Huh, who could have guessed? In a sport where physical power is a huge component, she falls short of men.

We live in clown world.
I was honestly confused by all this, trying to figure out how anyone could possibly support this kid's delusion, how the coaches, teammates, parents, siblings are all cowed and wooed by an idiot ideology. Occam straightened it our for me in post no. 11 , thank you!

Actually, a cigarrette smoking (literally during changeovers) Men's no. 203 did roundly beat the Williams sisters:

Karsten Braasch: the smoker who ridiculed the Williams sisters

John McEnroe got into trouble once for saying that Serena at her best would rank at best in the 500s in Men's tennis.
