Navratilova is not a scientist

Ironically, her argument is purely scientific.

And this article author unironically posts the following quote from her

“Simply reducing hormone levels — the prescription most sports have adopted — does not solve the problem. A man builds up muscle and bone density, as well as a greater number of oxygen-carrying red blood cells, from childhood. Training increases the discrepancy. Indeed, if a male were to change gender in such a way as to eliminate any accumulated advantage, he would have to begin hormone treatment before puberty. For me, that is unthinkable.”

Your guess that author of this article is mentally insane is correct.

Haha holy shit, what a level headed and straight forward response to a super complicated issue.

Mental illness has permeated everything, its starting to get ridiculous.

Interview with an expert on the subject

Dr. Debra Soh

I know who she is and I'm in agreement with her.

Imagine posting this "evidence", half of which says there's no studies so you should just ignore all common knowledge there is and then blather on about race being a thing.

Trans athletes aren't good, overpowered or anything like.

Women just suck at sports and any man, even with no test, can best them

It's that simple

It's over for foids

There's no reasoning with the clowns of clown world.

Just nod and accept it. Women's sports were never that popular to begin with, so at least it'll be interesting to watch men in skirts destroy them.

The first time a trans tennis player destroys Serena Williams would be a gold mine of drama.

This can only bode well for female athletes. Now people are actually talking about their sports, because realistically no one would give a shit otherwise.

That's just stupid. Maybe, if you are thinking about sports like basketball or whatever. Once you get to the olympics, people absolutely talk and care about women's sports. Next summer olympics you want beach volley to be two teams of ma'ams power driving the ball at each other?

two teams of ma'ams

literal lol hehe

The Guardian's article had to bring in Rachel McKinnon, the same person who won a totally fair women's cycling event in which she had absolutely no advantage whatsoever, to argue against Navratilova on this topic. They failed to mention that her motives for disagreeing with Navratilove are both completely self-serving and utterly unsupported by both science and basic logic.
