Does this happen often?


Twice in the past year.

It bubbled down to:
"You can't lift as a female because test, but there's no reason you can't lift as a guest."
"You're just a transphobe Lou."

So I leave the arguement well alone now, but if an MtF were to knock me out of my placing in a comp I would kick up s**t.

There's a private women's only lifting group on Facebook which is all about hugs and acceptance and you're not allowed to argue about technique. Because some people just lift that way. That's where a lot of these kind of arguements go on.

Tolerance is a funny thing.


If I'm tolerant of intolerance what then?

Did similar ever happen when you were doing judo?


Nope. I was given the option of fighting in a men's lightweight spot at a couple of uni comps, but that's me opting into getting my arse handed to me.

The closest I can think was the Fallon Fox thing in UFC, which sparked a bit of debate. All the judo women I know were in agreement, participate but you can't fight as female because genetically you are not.

I'm tolerant of most things/people as long as they don't adversely affect others. Someone choosing to undergo a sex change harms no one and has zero effect on anyone but themselves.

I agree.
But some, maybe even many, would argue that someone undergoing a sex change does harm others eg morally, religiously and so on and on.


Then I'd call that argument ridiculous.
If someone thinks what someone else does with their body harms them they have a massive ego.
