Why aren't there many trans men competing in men's sports?

Didn't 'roadmaster' sort of answer it in Post #2, with the "weaker vessel" comment? Most competitive sports for men, particularly at the professional level, require a much higher degree of natural physical strength than even the best female athletes can match.

Roadmaster isn’t as beholding or loyal to the woke mentality as most liberals here. The true wokesters will avoid the subject as they know they can’t respond rationally.

Why do we have women's sports in the first place one could ask?….

Why would anyone be opposed to women’s sports programs?

Try telling that to Bobby Riggs. ( )

Bobby Riggs was 55 years old at the time but the match was thrown for TV

He beat the number 1 ranked woman just 4 months prior.

From the NPR interview with the announcer:

BLOCK: Why were there rumors over the years that this match was, in fact, thrown?

VAN NATTA: I think the tennis people were just astonished at how Bobby Riggs didn't look like the Bobby Riggs that they knew; and that they had seen just four months earlier when he defeated Margaret Court, who was the No. 1 ranked player in the world. Four months after that, he just looked nothing like that. He had a great service game, and yet he missed his first serves nearly half the time, and some of his return shots barely made it to the net.

The maximum volume of oxygen you can suck in to fuel your efforts. Men have significantly larger lungs. Very important for sports.

I remember that being discussed in a documentary series many years ago, the name of which I've forgotten. It was one of the physical differences between the sexes that probably arose as a result of the different roles that men and women performed hundreds of thousands of years ago. The men were out chasing game and hiking around the countryside, while the women would have mostly stayed back with the children. (I have my own theory regarding the evolutionary reason that women tend to be more "chatty" than men, but I don't want to stray too far off topic.)

I heard an interview a few years ago, with an acquaintance of Riggs', who claimed that B.R. was in debt to some bad people for an amount in excess of $100K, and it was in order to clear that debt (and possibly to remain among the living) that he threw the game.

This?

Where men are doing what women do better as women.

Nothing says “we respect women” like elbowing them out of their own awards to laud a man who makes a mockery of womanhood.

I believe Serena Williams in her prime said she wouldn't be able to beat the 122nd ranked man in tennis. There have been a few top women golfers(Michelle Wie, Anna Sorenson) who have tried male tournaments. Only 1 female has ever made it past the first cut, Babe Zaharias, in the 30's.

Williams sisters v Karsten Braasch. He was ranked 203rd in the world. He beat Serena 6-1 and beat Venus 6-2. At the end of the game, Braasch said he actually played like a top 600 player to keep it “fun” and still beat them.



He also said that he’d play them after playing 9 holes of golf and having two beers.
