Trans Woman Reacts to Lia Thomas INFURIATING Transphobes

Certain biological advantages cannot be overcome, which is why there are different categories in most sports - weight divisions in boxing being the most obvious example.

As a trans person myself, I dont think Lia should be competing in women's sports if she has already underwent male puberty for obvious reasons. Nevertheless I do not condone any attacks or insults directed at her in any way. It is not transphobic to aknowledge the biological differences that are beyond hormone levels.

Not trolling I’m just trying to understand why the term biological male is offensive? Open to opinions ?

10:52-11:07 Im sorry but did this individual just say that lung capacity isn't a "significant indicator to athletic performance" in regards to swimming? because as a former swimmer I have a hard time believing someone could be so stupid

It’s not about their gender identities. Their gender identities are not competing against other gender identities. It’s the body that competes and the advantages bestowed on someone who went through male puberty are not fair if they want to compete in women’s sports.

As a trans athlete, I of all people would love to be able to compete in women's sports, but I can't do so in good conscience. I didn't start transitioning until 23 so my advantages are too great. People might not think height is an advantage, but it is; I'm 5 inches taller than if I were born cis. My torso and wingspan are larger as well. I lifted weights for years with T levels above 600 ng/L. My T might only be 23 ng/L now but I built all of my muscle under circumstances only achievable by cis women who take anabolic steroids like trenobol or anavar. I have lost muscle of course but it'd be similar to a cis athlete doing a steroid cycle in their off-season. I think it's a bit sad that transphobes AND the trans community don't talk about trans individuals that continue to compete against those of the same biological sex. As much as I disagree with some of what you've said in this video; I completely respect your stance on things. You always make well-thought out videos and many of them have helped me so much; especially when I was first transitioning.

The whole "there is no advantage" argument falls apart for me when you note that this is only a problem in women's sport. When we start to see trans men competing in elite sport and breaking records i'll accept the basis of it.

How can you be so out of touch with reality...

Yk What bothers me tho- a Jamaican biological woman was denied to compete in Tokyo bc of her natural testosterone-

Genuinely confused why biology is offensive. Is this not basic science regardless of gender identity?

5:21 Just curious but how is saying biologically male being transphobe? Wouldn't that just be accurate?

"shes just good at swimming " ...when placing in the 400s when competing as a male ? ..

As a transwomen who has been full time for 5 years I completely DISAGREE. Yes the NCAA requirements were only 1 year of hormones at female testosterone levels but anyone who has taken hormones knows that the first year does almost nothing to muscle mass. Lia competing this early in her transition regardless of how she placed, did nothing for LGBT or women rights. If anything this has created less acceptance for the LGBT community. ps I am unfortunately a biological man, guess that makes me a transphobe for recognizing science... wtf hah

Its not transphobic to speak out about Lia Thomas being able to compete with biological women. What will happen to womens sports? Its okay to be transgender, but you have to admit that Lia Thomas has a clear biological muscular and down to her bone structure she has an advantage over the other women.

Absolutely ridiculous to say the women just aren't working hard enough. I would say you are a misoginist.

Lia already went through puberty as a man. Her lungs, and cardiovascular system are bigger. Just look at her compared to her fellow swimmers.

Just bc trans women don’t always win doesn’t inherently mean that the advantage isn’t still there lol there’s also general skill level that goes into it. My thing is this, as a trans woman myself, I would feel so uncomfortable knowing that SIXTEEN biological women on my team were uncomfortable enough to ban together and write a letter about it, to ever continue doing it at all. It’s just not right. There is a biological advantage period. Not always but that doesn’t erase the instances when there is advantage there. I’m sick of trans women coming into traditionally biological female spaces and acting so entitled without acknowledging the clear differences between t girls and bio. It’s just crazy to me.

Just because you describe something as transphobic doesn't mean it is.

Can someone explain to me how FACTS are transphobic???? if it’s the truth?? I feel like i’ll be walking on egg shells if everything said is hurtful.

You showed how Lia Thomas’s fastest time swimming placing #2 regionally is 20 seconds faster than what she got to win 1st place nationally. Her 2nd place regionally wasn’t even the fastest regionally in men’s…. #462 sounds pretty accurate in national ranking.. and you’re proving a point by saying even her slowest time is fast enough to win #1 nationally. Yet her regional in men’s was faster and wasn’t even #1
