Do you think XX men should be able to compete with women?

Asked by JLeslie (65976points) August 11th, 2024

Most of the focus of transgender in competition is about biological XY competing with women, but what about the other way around? If XX men are forced to compete with men, they are likely at a significant disadvantage in many sports.

If you want to differentiate between transgender men and XX assigned male at birth that is up to you, but it doesn’t really change the Q.

What if the XX man takes male hormones, would that change your answer? Should there be a threshold for hormones? I don’t even know if taking the hormones given to transgender people disqualifies them similar to athletes taking steroids, maybe a jelly knows the answer.
