    Personally, I have competed in powerlifting, one sport that has gotten attention in the press for not letting trans women compete with cis women, particularly after a trans woman beat out other cis women by huge margin in competition.

    I will let the ladies know that the only reason they’re in their own division is actually because of oppression and they should have no issue competing against men.

      That is the case in modern sports science, yes, but the interesting thing - at least to me is - that’s not what happened in real life.

      That may be the case now but that is not how it came to be.
