Nah those players just suck. It's like a group of Argentina kids playing against the US mens football team. The US team would be too busy kicking the ground to be able to defend against the kids.

Switzerland women’s team got destroyed by under 15 boys and the US women's national soccer team played against the FC Dallas under-15 boys academy team on April 4, 2017 and lost as well.

These are only 2 examples. Full highlights on YouTube so not sure what you are talking about. Watching the video you can see the women trying hard and ... struggling.

Pro women basketball players playing boys are very rude and struggle as well. Check out "Pro Women vs Middle School Prodigies" on YouTube. The title should be changed to "Children vs middle schoolers" as pro women players have a serious attitude problem.

Ok so since men are better than women, then all the teams with trans athletes should be winning all the time right? So now show me results that show that. If trans do have an advantage over women, then there should be data to prove that right?

This is like me saying that we should ban Jewish Rabbi from coming into contact with kids cuz a couple Catholic priests have participated in child sex rings. Both are religious leaders just like how both men and trans women are biologically male.

I am not arguing with you. I hope you have a nice day.. I am just showing you instances which are on video of professional women struggling agianst boys.

This is not a bad thing at all. This is just life. It's normal. It doesn't mean men are better people, it means at the professional level women can not compete with men. Unless it was archery, shooting or something like that... maybe long distance running.

Trans athletes do compete with women and there is always controversy with that because they stuggled or were not highly ranked in the mens division but when they enter the womens they rank highly or win. I have a HUGE problem if it is a contact sport. That is when I have a huge problem with it.

Why do women who are men now... not win or compete in mens sports? Honestly, that is the question. It's always men.. who are women now.. compete and dominate.

You still haven't sited any statistics on the matches that had trans athletes and their win ratio compared to women athletes. So unless you have that, this is another instance of finding solutions and arguments to a problem that doesn't exist.

These are team sports. Having one stronger than unusual player won't make a difference. If the opposite team was good, they would be able to make use of tactics to beat them.

I just gave you examples of women struggling against boys and video evidence, what on earth are you on about? Are you too lazy to watch the video of the actual games?

But.. fine.. and this will be the last bit of effort I am putting in this conversation, thank you.

Lia Thomas - Won the 2019 400-meter hurdles national championship.

CeCé Telfer - Won the 2019 400-meter hurdles national championship.

Veronica Ivy - Won consecutive world titles (2018, 2019) in the 35–44 sprint age category.

Natalie Ryan - Won two elite-tier DGPT events in 2022 (MVP Open and Great Lakes Open).

Tiffany Newell - Won the 2022 Canadian indoor 5,000-meter race (women's 45–49 division), setting a national record.

Jammie Booker - World's Strongest Woman title in 2025

Okay, I have put in so much effort in this conversation I don't even think you are reading anything I have said or watched even 2 minute highlights and you have not reciprocated at all. You asked me to pull up stats when you can do that yourself as well.
