Under california's transgender law they are. Personally i feel that would create an unfair advantage, because he has the physiology of a male, so i say no. What do you think, what are your reasons?

You know sentences are supposed to be complete thoughts, right?

Transgenders are not hermaphrodites. I imagine a hermaphrodite could become a transgender. Lets say the parents decide they want a girl, chop off the penis and the person still thinks they are a boy.

Transgender - someone who identifies with or expresses a gender identity that differs from the one which corresponds to the person's sex at birth. (A woman trapped in a mans body)

Transsexual - a person who tries to look, dress, and act like a member of the opposite sex; especially : someone who medically changes himself or herself into a member of the opposite sex. (crossdresser or someone who has had gender reassignment surgery)

Hermaphrodite - a person, plant, or animal that has both male and female parts.

Maybe that clears some things up.

Are you referring to the fact that you said you have done no research on the topic and that I still addressed your point?

"I've never done any research into transgenders, but I do know in the olden days if you were born of hermaphrodite." You were comparing transgenders to hermaphordites.. two very different things. Did I miss something?

The use of "men" and "women" in sports is different from how we (should) use it in the rest of life. It has to do with physiology and that's it.

It might suck for transgender athletes, but that's just life. It's just like how I could not be an NFL player because I was not born into the right body to do that.

Although this is sports at the elite level i'm talking about. If someone wants to play on a little league baseball team or something, then just go for it. Those things are more about community and development and whatnot anyways, and I would hate to see someone excluded from it.

I agree with you. Men and women should play in different leagues. The question is when do gender reassingment surgeries and hormones shift a person to the other side of the spectrum? And where should they compete when theyre inbetween?

I mean a fully transiftion MTW is going to have a different physiological make-up due to estogen, and a different center of gravity thanks to having boobs. At that point it's definitely fair for them to compete as women.

The uncertainty is where should the line be drawn during their transitiion.

Right i agree, but this is about a guy who just thinks he's a woman, judging by the picture i don't think he has any work done.

xy vs xx chromosome.

at any level where it actually matters, people are not just allowed to take drugs or hormones that affect their performance.

Ns is an interesting place. When someone on here bashes gays or posts something against gay marriage, you guys are the first to defend the LGBTQ community. Then this thread happens... I realize gay marriage is not analogous to transgender boys playing on girls sports teams, but you guys have said things you would never say about gays.

Defending gays is trendy right now, so ns defends gays. Hating on transgender people is trendy right now, so ns hates on them.

That's all it is. Don't let the sheep tendencies fool you into thinking the kids here aren't tremendously ignorant.
