Still, these athletes have not swept the competition the way some believed they would,\u201d the notes continue before asking the kids, \u201cDo you think it\u2019s fair to ban transgender female athletes from participating in women\u2019s water sports?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNow, we\u2019re going to get into it, but before we do, it\u2019s really important to remember that behind every trans athlete is a human being, not just a headline or a stat,\u201d MacNeil states. \u201cThis is also a really new conversation, with more questions than answers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After saying, \u201cSo we\u2019re gonna start by looking at how the facts and science can help us understand more about the trans athlete debate,\u201d MacNeil offers this: \u201cFor the most part, sport is divided along gender lines. And the reason for that is a <em>commonly held belief<\/em> that men develop differently than women in giving them an athletic advantage.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>MacNeil turns to transgender athlete and author Joanna Harper\u00a0to help her out. \u201cA transgender person is someone whose gender identity or innate sense of who they are, as opposed to being male, female, or somewhere in-between, does not match with the way they were assigned at birth,\u201d Harper asserts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou can have a transgender man competing against other men, and you can have a transgender woman competing against other women,\u201d MacNeil says brightly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe argument here is that no matter how much hormone suppressing treatment a transgender woman will go through, if they have gone through puberty as a male they will still have these natural advantages. And some people say that will lead to transgender women dominating in women\u2019s sports. However, that has not been the case,\u201d MacNeil claims.<\/p>\n<p>Of course there have been events such as this:<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Just to show you how absurd this is. Here\u2019s the trans swimmer \u201cLia\u201d Thomas crushing all of the female competitors by 40 seconds. This is what that looks like in real time. A total farce. <\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/kAi9GgF5sj\">pic.twitter.com\/kAi9GgF5sj<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Matt Walsh (@MattWalshBlog) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MattWalshBlog\/status\/1470978594256130050?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 15, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cAccording to the United Nations, the right to sport is a fundamental human right.
