If we men gave birth, I don’t think we would survive. Amazing women have endured so much for thousands of years.

There’s one man who could survive.

HJas anyone seen these transgender participating on teams?

I have. I can't say they stand out all that much.

These "men's teams v women's teams" is NOT a good representation of transgender representation in sport.

It's actually a bit ridiculous.

The thread isn't about transgenders.

Well? Still not fair to the women competing, in my opinion.

Other than because the obvious biological differences an our anatomy, I am not entirely sure men would not be unable to survive childbirth. Although I have never experienced the pain of passing a kidney stone, I have heard several woman tell me that the pain is worse than childbirth.
I’ve also heard childbirth is worse than a kidney stone, but I have no idea, since I’m male, I have long term kidney disease and thankfully never had a kidney stone, and hope I never do.

You bet you don't want a kidney stone. I had one on my 50th birthday in Hawaii. Actually lasted about three days. My guys on my ship made me a really high quality shirt that had "What does Hawaii and this guy have in common?" on the front. On the back was a big "5-0".

Hawaii 5-0 was a TV show.

Couldn't wear it out until I was 50 and 2 days. Didn't feel right.

That sounds awful! Thankfully my only kidney functioning is good.

Had 3 kidney stones at different times.

The last one was...insane. It made me re-evaluate my pain scale upward. I thought my first two were bad; the last one was...ridiculous...vomitting in the waiting room dizzy, passing out from pain. I had to do lamaze breathing. I had no thoughts other than breathe.

I'm sure childbirth is bad and I dont' think a competition is worthwhile to consider. What I know is that kidney stones are CRAZY....jagged knife covered flex of murder

They found the level of calcium was through the roof. We were practically drinking chalk water.

You got that right, I couldn't remember my name or last 4 of my social.

About the pain, yep, it was turned up to 11.

Lol...I look back now and laugh but it was so painful it was comical. I wasn't about to laugh of course.

My wife was making small talk with the nurse (something she does when she's uncomfortable and the amount of pain I was in made her uncomfortable). I asked them both to shut up (gently) cause the talking made it hurt more.

Lol...it truly was just absolutely crazy.

Meh. It's unfortunate that I didn't take great care of myself during certain stages of my life (usually related to intense work related stress).

Also, they're great stories.

Biological women competing against biological men in athletics.
Fine.
Is there a reason of letting the words women and men be preceded by biological? Are there any non-biological men or women?

Would the out the outcome be different if
a) biological women competed against non -biological men
b) non -biological women competed against biological men
c) non -biological women competed against non -biological men

have a nice day.

I use the term "biological men/women" to specify that I am talking about actual men and women who are not deluded into believing they are the opposite sex. Some would argue that trans women are women too. I disagree. So to make sure we are staying on topic, let's discuss the trans stuff in another thread.

A. Depends on the hormones the non-biological "man" is taking. A woman pumped up with testosterone will have an advantage.

B. Depends. Does the trans "woman" have their testicles? Is he getting pumped with estrogen? If so, the man who is not trying to become a woman would have an advantage.

C. It is a man competing against a woman but both think they belong to the wrong team. Non-biological "woman" has the advantage.
