Transgender players banned from international women’s cricket by ICC - Lemmy.World

The International Cricket Council has become the latest sports body to ban transgender players from the elite women’s game if they have gone through male puberty. The ICC said it had taken the decision, following an extensive scientific review and nine-month consultation, to “protect the integrity of the international women’s game and the safety of players”. It joins rugby union, swimming, cycling, athletics and rugby league, who have all gone down a similar path in recent years after citing concerns over fairness or safety.

Why did my comment get removed? Lol Men are biology stronger and faster than women that’s the truth. Biology born men will have an advance in women sports and ruin it for women.

Example “Serena williams lost to 203rd man”

My comment isn’t meant to X-phobic or ill intended. Be open to debate and not censorship on lemmy.

Trans women aren’t biologically men.

Sorry if my English is a bit weird. If they have the chromosomes (XY), then yes.

Being a man is not xy chromosomes. It’s a social construct normally situated around expressing masculinity in general, with no clear foundation. If you’re referring to male/female, this is also a social construct that fails to account for chromosomes outside of the xx/xy chromosome binary.

Hormones are the biggest genuine factor when it comes to sports and transwomen have generally the same athleticism as ciswomen due to HRT; and vice versa with men.

No, chromosomes are not a social construct. They are physical structures in cells that carry genetic information and play a fundamental role in biological processes, including determining an individual’s sex. The concept of chromosomes is grounded in biology and genetics, not social constructs.

You can spin it all you want, but women are getting destroyed in sports by transwomen because they have physique of a man like bone structure and muscle mass.

I said being a man is a social construct, not xy chromosomes.

Source about transwomen outcompeting ciswomen? All the headlines I see are heavilytakebn out of place along the lines of where a transwoman getting placed like 6000th in a big mararhon and fox news spins it saying how she beat 6000 ciswomen in a marathon
