Great post Doc - I don't believe in trans athletes competing in women's sports, i think it's a nonsense, if you believe you are a woman trapped in a man's body and have gender reassignment, you still have the advantages of a man's body after reassignment, so you shouldn't be allowed to compete in women's sport with the advantages of a man's body
From a mental health point of view and funding, why people who feel they are a man trapped in a woman's body or a woman trapped in a man's body should be funded with 100's of 1000's and people with autism for example who find everyone else's 'society' 'normal' completely alien and something that makes them very ill aren't accepted as such and equally funded to live away from everyone else's normal is also a nonsense
For example, we can and have to accept a bloke believes he is a woman trapped in a man's body and fund him to change that and all and sundry are expected to make every possible effort to assist them in that and make them feel accepted in that, but we don't accept and support an autistic person with a lifelong severe aversion to 'society' and most other people's 'normal and actually try and force them into situations that make them ill
On a mental health front, were we to treat each equally, we'd be forcing the bloke who thinks he's a woman trapped in a man's body to accept he's a bloke not a woman and forcing him to continually do really blokey things he found alien, as that's how we treat the autistic person
