I think competitive sports should be reserved for people who identify as male or female, and nothing in between unless you are going to create a seperate category for that, OR clearly define the rules and just allow anyone to compete in any league they would like. so then people can just shut the fuck up about it and move on because i think it doesnt really affect anything if you did just allow it. i dont think a flood gate of trans male to female would start bodying womens sports.
People have brought up the fact that skateboarding is not like weight lifting or long jump in that you dont need extra muscles to do the tricks. Yet why is it that women, even in a non competitive environment, when given an unlimited amount of time, have never reached even close to the same level that men have in video parts?
There have been studies done to show that men are even better than women in competitive Scrabble. typically, women are much better than men are in literacy skilles, yet men are still able to dominate the tournament scene. it is because of the competitive nature that men have from savage apes, or at least that is the best hypothesis i have come to. if you think that mens and womens skateboarding level is comparable, you are only kidding yourself. i am not saying its not possible, but we are a long way away from that.
I do think at the end of the day, very few people would transition from male to female just to compete in an easier sports league, and also be successful. Even if their intentions were 100% genuine, I think those people will always deal with haters so long as the Male and Female categories remain in sports.
