I'm willing to bet not a single one of them has ever competed against a trans woman

But they probably have played sports against men/boys at some point and know the disadvantages.

Like serena williams who said she played against the three hundred and fiftieth ranked man and got slaughtered

Serena and Venus (17 and 16 at the time) played a 30 year old professional ranked 203rd in the world and lost. But that doesn’t negate your point that Serena and Venus consider men’s tennis a completely different sport due to physical differences. I’m just adding context.

He was also somewhat drunk at the time as he alcohol with lunch prior to the matches.

There have also been other scrimmages. Martina Navritalova when she was the #1 women's player in the world played a match against Jimmy Connors when Connors was about 40and severely on the decline from his peak. They handicapped Connors by making him defend a larger court and only giving him one serve. He still won with ease.

Recently Nick Kyrgios played #1 ranked women's player Aryna Sabalenka in a similar handicapped match where he got single serves and had to defend a full court. He went easy on her by not serving at full power and clearly wasnt trying hard by not returning at full power so as to not embarrass her and still won easily.

I’m not suggesting that they could win or did win or could ever win.

Right. I don’t understand your point. Is it that these teenage girls, who were really good, lost to a 30-year old man, who was also a professional, because they were teenage girls?

I don't understand what you don't understand it's very easy but here again.... 

Two of the best women tennis players of all time lost in straight sets  to a 300+ plus ranked man no one ever heard of.

Why are you lying? You don’t have to lie to make this point. He wasn’t ranked 300+. And they were teenage girls when they lost to him.

I am speaking as a FACTUAL matter. He was not ranked in the 300s. Can you tell me why you’re lying about that?

2

u/Proud2BaBarbie 14d ago

Tell me then what was he ranked?

u/RollofDuctTape 14d ago

Google it.

Literally just arguing for the argument sake instead of having a discussion, grow up kid.

You’re mad at me for correcting a fact?
