That's because you care nothing for women.

Take a look at women's times in swimming sometimes, for an individual sport with no chance of inter-competitor injury. Katie Ledecky is a really, really good swimmer. She's the female swimmer with the most gold medals. When we compare her times to the times of the men in the finals of the same competitions, we see that she's slower than most or all of the men, depending on the race.

Ledecky is also faster than the most prominent transwoman swimmer.

Yet slower than all these other male swimmers.

There's nothing about identifying as a woman that magically slows you down when the thought comes into your head. You're still the same male swimmer you were before.

yeah except swimming is the stupidest sport to gatekeep trans women from. going on estrogen will reduce your muscle mass, but it doesnt change your skeleton, so… trans women on e (unless they transitioned before t puberty) have the same muscle but denser bones than cis women. im sure you can see why this is not exactly an advantage in swimming lol

Doesn't change your skeleton, doesn't change your greater lung capacity, doesn't change your greater reach, doesn't change your sex. Stay in the lane for your sex and out of the women's races.
