I feel like if you're trans and an athlete you should be able to play sports with the gender you now identify as.

That's going to make it hard for those born female to compete. 

In cases where people are segregated due to gender, I'm all for (in most cases) people being grouped according to how they identify.  When people are segregated based on physical characteristics, then I don't think that makes sense.  Allowing a male who has not transitioned to compete would completely defeat the purpose of women's sports.  If someone has transitioned, then that may be alright, if the data shows their advantage has been mitigated.

Totally. Trans people, particularly males who transitioned to become females, should be able to compete without problems once they demonstrate that they don't have significant advantages over other female competitors. 

But from what I understand, it's hard to properly level down a transitioned female. Some things from the male buildup never go away, which make this whole ordeal more complicated. Don't know which things specifically but it's no wonder several trans women are successful in their carreers. 



My bet with The_Liquid_Laser: I think the Switch won't surpass the PS2 as the best selling system of all time. If it does, I'll play a game of a list that The_Liquid_Laser will provide, I will have to play it for 50 hours or complete it, whatever comes first.
