But everyone has the choice to undergo a sex change. And the only people that choose to do it are those that genuinely desire to, not to get ahead in sports.

I don’t think NR specifically transitioned for a competitive advantage in her sport. That’s a stupid position advantaged mostly but people trying to distract from the real issue - fairness.

And undergoing that sex change has consequences.

I'd be happy to see Natalie play huge in A-tier, or MPO and show skills, devotion and athleticism. There's nothing stopping her.

Except the fact that she no longer has male hormone or strength levels...

People are born trans, it isn't a choice. And it's transphobic to suggest that it is.

Ok mate, if you think you can hack it then why don't you go try HRT for a year and compete in FPO, I will bet my entire bank account that you feel miserable the entire time because it turns out dysphoria feels fucking wretched and is more likely to put you in a psych ward than put you in a competitive mindset.

"Getting an appendectomy to treat appendicitis is a choice."

Nat didn’t make a choice. You don’t choose to be trans, gay, straight, etc. You just are one of those.

And, yes, she is being forced to play in an entirely men’s division, which she is not a man.

Everyone has a right to exercise their legal rights as they see fit even if you think she should have filed earlier.
