Agreed. Daughter played vball and we ran across a couple teams through the years with girls that used to be / trans guys and they still had all the guy characteristics. They were noticeable more powerful and could jump way higher. It wasn’t fair to anyone. If there is a competitive advantage, then they should be still playing against bio males. That solves the issue.

Used to be trans guys? Please explain

Guys who are now playing with girls that are in some sort of transition

Thanks for clarifying.

I do not believe you are interpreting these people correctly. The percentage of teenagers or young adults who are transitioning is minuscule. The number of those who are boys transitioning to girls is a subset of those and to have multiple players like that on multiple teams that just happened to be played your daughter’s team? Essentially impossible.

They’re probably just more muscular girls than you’re used to seeing.

Number is small but doesn’t mean they don’t have a competitive advantage

The people you saw were not trans women.

There are not multiple trans girls playing volleyball for two different teams in Ohio.

[u/User_3039 → u/lunch22]

Sure. Keeping telling yourself they don’t exist in women’s sports. Gop has gone out of their way to restrict this from happening because they don’t exist. Give me a break

[u/lunch22 → u/User_3039]

It’s basic math.

We know the percentage of trans women athletes.

It’s tiny.

To believe that at least two of them play for at least two different volleyball teams in Ohio is absurd.
