    On a competitive level sure. When you are talking a participation level then no.

    How so? I think they should be allowed to have their own division. I think that would be fair and equitable.

    If there is a way to do it in competition with enough people competing then sure. Some games simply do not translate well into the trans world for the high end of competition. Like I said recreational participation should not be banned.

    Absolutely. Just like men and women. Now you're just adding a third division.

    I think I’ve figured it out. @TheLonelySquire is a leaper. He’s got a Swiss cheese memory. His brain went a little caca.

    Just a third?

    If this ruling is just then it also seems like it would be unfair to have trans men and trans women in the same competitions. Then you have cis-gendered people with different hormone levels that give them an advantage or disadvantage, so they should get a fair playing field.

    How many divisions should there be?

    To be honest, these dudes should be competing in the men's division. They are, after all, men. I was just trying to be nice.

    So trans-men should compete in the women's competition despite the hormonal advantage they would have?

    Not if they're taking hormones, no. They give up their right to compete once they start with the drugs. They're PEDs.

    So a woman athlete taking hormones for a hormonal imbalance or perimenopause is a "druggie" in your universe? You're even sicker than I thought.
