Just One Man’s Opinion of Transgenders in Athletics
There are going to be a lot of people who do not like this article and I’m more than ok with that. I’m not one to be politically correct nor am I one to shy away from expressing my opinions. You see, we can all have an opinion. And what’s great about opinions is that they can be shared whether someone agrees or disagrees with them. And in the case of this article, I’m going to give my opinion on transgenders in athletics
I want to start off by saying, I don’t care if you’re a man who wants to be a woman or a woman who wants to be a man. To each his or her own. Heck, I don’t even care if you’re non-binary or call yourself an alien – how you see yourself is how you see yourself and who I am to say what you want or think you are?
However, I feel as though this whole transgender in athletics situation has taken a turn for the worst.

Despite what you (in your mind) view yourself as, we were all born with certain (ahem) body parts that specified our gender. When you came out, the doctor said, “Congrats Mr. and Mrs. [fill in the blank], it’s a [insert boy or girl]!” They knew this by simply looking at your sex organs. Either there was something hanging there or not. You didn’t come out and the doctor said, “Congrats, you have a non-binary baby!”

Now, without hurting people’s feeling (I know people are overly sensitive these days), there are athletic leagues that divide athletes by gender to keep things (in their mind) fair. According to some of them, there transgenders in athletics will not be allowed.
For instance, while there are plenty of strong women, having a female football team play a male football team could potentially lead to someone getting seriously injured. It can be debated that (physically) men are the dominant gender. This would give them an unfair advantage in the example I just provided. However, with transgenders in athletics, it’s changing the dynamic. And I don’t feel for the better.
