CMV: Trans participation in sports often has an unfair advantage over other competitors

I know this is about to get a ton of shit, but I would like to keep the conversation reasonable and based on logic. This is not meant to be trans-phobic or closed minded, so now that I’ve gotten that out of the way, let’s try to keep the conversation civil. 

In a nutshell, when someone changes genders and chooses to enter a sports based competition, isn’t this unfair to the other entrees? It’s a biological fact that one gender has strengths and drawbacks in relation to the other. While a girl could work hard and train to be able to deadlift 100lbs more than any male competitor, wouldn’t the majority of women be at a disadvantage to a MtF participant? Although some men are more flexible than women, wouldn’t the majority of men be at a disadvantage to a FtM gymnastic competitor? 

If you take a cis-gendered male and sign him up for a women’s track and field event, he would be denied entry because of the imbalance. So once the person states they are that category’s assigned gender, the biological differences are now ignored and they can participate. Even in the military, female fitness goals are lower then men’s, even though some females could meet the male standard - the point is the majority couldn’t. 

So if the point is that there IS no biological difference between people, why are there still male and female sports categories at all? Why wouldn’t everything be coed and merely based on speed or skill level?

There are biological deference’s between men and women which results in men having in unfair advantage over women in sports which is why there are women’s leagues. Transition from male to female doesn’t take away the advantage men have over women. When a women transitions to male she doesn’t have an advantage over the male competitors so it’s fair for her to compete against men.
