Is this even controversial? There’s a reason men and women sports were separated to begin with.

The reasons we separate sports by gender are and have always been stupid
Show threadIlovethebomb4d ago

This site is absolutely cooked sometimes.

In most sports, men have an advantage due to physical size, it’s why sports often have a women’s and an open category.

Creating meaningful competition is why we have these categories.

Advantage based on physical size is resolved by separating competitors based on size, not gender, fucking duh
Show threadSkankhunt4204d ago

Except that studies show that outof men and women of the same exact size women are 52% as strong as men in the upper body and 66% as strong as men in the lower body.

The Biological Basis of Sex Differences in Athletic Performance: Consensus Statement for the American College of Sports Medicine - PubMed

Biological sex is a primary determinant of athletic performance because of fundamental sex differences in anatomy and physiology dictated by sex chromosomes and sex hormones. Adult men are typically stronger, more powerful, and faster than women of similar age and training status. Thus, for athletic …

Thus, for athletic events and sports relying on endurance, muscle strength, speed, and power, males typically outperform females by 10%-30% depending on the requirements of the event.

Here’s the source that has the exact measurements for upper and lower body differences which is the one I referenced in the original comment

Its ok to disagree with the reality to that if you want to. But it isn’t ok to accuse others of “making shit up” when it is you who is making shit up. I haven’t seen you cite one single source

Gender differences in strength and muscle fiber characteristics - PubMed

Strength and muscle characteristics were examined in biceps brachii and vastus lateralis of eight men and eight women. Measurements included motor unit number, size and activation and voluntary strength of the elbow flexors and knee extensors. Fiber areas and type were determined from needle biopsie …

Sample size of 16 lol, you fucking moron
Show threadSkankhunt4204d ago

So if those results are apparent even from as low as 8 men and 8 women what makes you think that gives it any less weight or makes it any less true?

Also, the other sources have a larger sample size and all say the same thing.

Man as long as it took you to type out “you fucking moron” in response to me you could have already cited a source!

We are in the interest of not “making shit up” after all aren’t we?

You are scientifically illiterate, your source is dogshit, you are doing a better job of destroying your own credibility better than I could ever hope to. Thank you!
Show threadSkankhunt4204d ago

So, no source from the guy accusing people of “making up bullshit”?

I figured that would be the case.

Also calling pubmed a bad source is laughable, let me guess you are probably an anti vaxxer as well. Shocked I tell you. Shocked.

You want a source proving that women can compete with comparably sized men? Here, cry about it

I knew it was going to be a YouTube video!! Omg I straight up just said this to another commenter.

Also this woman is highly trained and skilled of course she got his ass.

Do you have a scientific source that proves anything you are saying?

Oh god if the next one is a tiktok video then I’m 2 for 2.

“Your source is dogshit” provides a source from a show literally called Jackass

Show threadAmnesigenic4d ago
If a youtube video of a Jackass bit is all it takes to make you look like an idiot then you should probably reconsider your position lol, seeing incontrovertible video evidence of the thing you’re claiming isn’t possible tends to do that to reasonable people
Show threadSkankhunt4204d ago
Hahahahaha. Ok
Show threadAmnesigenic4d ago
Yep, your lazy attempts to justify your transphobic bullshit have failed, you may now tuck tail and fuck off
Show threadSkankhunt4204d ago

No dude you have just proven that you won’t listen to science and I’m also not teansphobic but facts is facts, people born male have more bone mass and muscle mass than women even after HRT.

So yeah I want my daughter to grow up playing with other girls. Fuck me for that right?

Also no all you’ve done is bitch about every scientific source and provide a YouTube video with two people and bitch about how the scientific paper only had 16 people.

All you’ve done is prove that you are not going to listen to facts so there’s no reason providing you more because I’ve sourced citations for all my claims.

You provided a YouTube video from jackass. Marvelous work. How many times does that get cited in scientific literature?

You’ll listen to pubmed about HRT but then anything else that makes you realize uncomfortable truths that you lie to yourself about you stick tour head in the sand, say they arent a reliable source and use YouTube videos to further your echo chamber of opinions.

But since we’re ignoring scientific backed articles that the entire world agrees with, here’s videos of transition athletes absolutely dominating the sports they went into. Again, because of the difference in muscle mass and other factors that I have clearly sourced and cited

Ah so it isn’t really about truth for you then is it? Bold thing to say from someone who was accusing others of “making up bullshit”
