As a trans woman I can't agree more. Honestly not being able to compete should be something you have to acknowledge and accept while transitioning due to the natural biological differences. Unfortunately too many people have been raised with the "if I complain enough I'll get my way" mindset.

I don't see why they can't make their own trans teams and compete like that... why do they think it's fair when they would have the advantage 🤔

They shouldn't even need to ban them. It should never have been allowed.

As a transgender woman, I agree. Thank you for your logical support.

It's about time logic overruled feelings, it's refreshing to see a massive organisation not bow to social pressure.

I'd ask the people who disagreed with this ban "ever wondered why men and women sports teams aren't mixed" and watch their whole argument crumble

My wife competed at state level swimming. Her name is still on the record board at her old club. The lady that took some of her records went on to win a Olympic bronze medal. When we discussed this, she said she could never hold her own against males. Of course this is fair.

I've always stood my ground with my belief that permitting trans people to compete in situations like this is unfair. I've been called horrid, nasty things by some of the most passionate individuals, but at a certain point you have to accept there are people with skin with the strength of soaking wet toilet paper out there.

I tried to explain to some millennials at the MMA gym why transgender women should not compete with female athletes. I got in a big argument. So I challenged them to go in the ring with me (135kg, 197cm, 15 years of kickboxing experience) and they all went "you're heavier, taller and (thus) stronger, you're not in my (weight) class, that's not fair!" I just responded "Indeed". QED.

When a trans person tries to explain why this ban should be considered "oppression", I think of what Bill Burr said during one of his bits: "...it's like it's all the way down to SWIMMING. I gotta admit...eh, I don't give a fuck."

I was so glad when I seen an organization finally stand up and hold firm. So sick of people try to fight science and biology with feelings. It's not hate, it's not discrimination, it's BIOLOGY.

Someone suffering from gender dysphoria transitions because we want to fit in & blend in as seamlessly as possible in society living our lives. I personally do not want to draw attention to myself by putting myself in spaces that makes others awkward: women's locker room, washroom, women's sports etc. I'd use the private stalls if I had to or simply not be there. That used to be an issue for many many years ago but not anymore. I won't choose to insert myself in women's sports ever. Choosing to transition has it's advantages & some disadvantages. It's an adjustment I did for myself so I can comfortably fit into society & not to bend it to conform to my feelings alone. I won't ever claim I'm the same as someone born female. There are many things I can relate to or experiences I have that may overlap theirs, but that's it. And that's okay. I'm my own kind of woman being trans. Respect is earned & should never be demanded. I've watched your videos & I agree with most of them.

It's nice to know that at some point, people eventually get tired and are willing to put their foot down. About damn time

The horrible thing is I've noticed I'm becoming less tolerant of trans issues the longer this shit goes on. Ruining womens sporting and even worse, having males in female only spaces like changing rooms is unacceptable, along with myriad other things. I try to limit it to the activists but this shit better get sorted quick.

I am not a CISGender Man, I am a MAN

As a trans man and a swimmer, I noticed that the size of your hands and feet give you a significant advantage, and since I have tiny hands and feet, I find it difficult to compete against people who are male, who usually have larger hands and feet. I think that in sports like swimming, trans women should not be in female sports. I respect all of the trans women who compete in men's sports, they are doing the right thing.

Twitter is like a war zone. Every time you open it you get Vietnam flash backs

(IMPORTANT ALSO) they need to null and void any broken records actually achieved by the transgenders athlete's in this woke madness due to the fact that them records may never be broken again by a actual biological women (i.e swimming, weight lifting etc).

A category for trans women is all that's needed. Then everyone gets a chance.

The separation between men and women sports was due to the biological differences in the first place. Your feelings about being in the "wrong body" doesn't change your biology. It's about time people realize that.

The title of this video is going to piss off so many woke people

Divisions in sport were never about identity. They were always about biology. Age limits, weight categories, disability competitions, “women’s” sport.

"Among the same gender there are also differences." Yes, that's why there are weight classes and similar things in a lot of sports even among the same gender. That's why if you want to bring in a new type of people you also need to come up with new rules and categories, even in sports that beforehand didn't have these differentiations. You have to reanalyze and reassess all these things with new data. And if it just so happens that you are too different from the other people that you don't fit in any category you'll have to have your own.

Finally someone realises that not everything is about your feelings

finally justice, this should never be a topic to argue in the first place

We need you, Isaac to keep talking sense into people!

I'm a trans woman and even after having started hormones for a little while I'm still by far the strongest person out of my friends. My strength isn't even remotely close to that of any woman I know so naturally I don't compete against women. Like duh. This really seems like common sense. Scratch the "seems like" because anybody who denies the reality of trans women competing against women knows full well what they're advocating for is wrong. Let's not pretend that that's not the case.

I’m gay and I’m not angry that decision at all and believe me there are many of us like me, but along with the straights lots of us are also afraid of the cult , and in our case the backlash is even harder because we are classified as traitors of our own kind, how dare us to have a different opinion from the rest of the group, we just suppose to follow the orders from the LGBT Gods and obey lol

Wouldn’t you think that the most inclusive thing people could do for a group of transgender swimmers is to give them their own competitions? I just feel like it would be nicer to do that that way you can please both sides (mostly). Also, there are transgender men, biological women, competing against biological men. I think this group would benefit from the same idea.

I still don't understand why this was even a debate to begin with. It's like having able bodied and disabled people in the same competition, how is that fair?

I had this argument with someone and countered with, “well, why do we ban drugs in sport” “Because it gives the competitor an unfair edge” Me: EXACTLY!

I always considered myself to be open minded, but this needed to be done. This is common sense. Science people, science.

Finally, someone is putting their foot forward.

Imagine how much more peaceful the majority of our lives would be if twitter just shut down

Trans women should be allowed to compete at the Olympics in individual events/sports ONLY. If there are three or more trans women competing in the same event, then they should compete against each other for gold, silver and bronze in the Transgender class. If there's only one trans woman competing in an event, she is there to set the inaugural world record for future trans women athletes to try to break. She is not there to compete against biological women and be eligible for a medal.

Being trans myself, I can’t really say I’m surprised, for me I don’t really care enough about sports to really give a shit. But honestly if trans people want to compete in sports, why haven’t we invented an “Anything Goes” category where anyone can compete against anyone regardless of gender identity and whatnot. I have no doubt that people would love to see that.

I say we allow it, I’m a 6’2 220lb middle aged man and what a boost of confidence it would be for me to “transition”, go out on a rugby field and obliterate every woman out there who are half my age. I’m not a narcissist or anything like that

"No, not at all." She says in the manliest voice ever.

"Bearing" very recently covered in a video where a 29 yr old "ex" fully matured male, came first in a skateboarding competition in California just beating a 13 year old girl who came in second. We need to stop giving these type of people extra attention and treat them just as fairly as the rest of us, it might stop some of these biological and fully mature men who are shit at sport from transitioning just to win a trophy.

A victory for common sense, and for women. Now we just need other sports to forget the touchy feely pc nonsense and make the same decision. They need to stop being scared of making a decision that might upset a minority of people

I know a lot of people are seeing this as a win for fairness, but please, pay attention to what was said. They didn't say that trans women can't compete, they said that trans women who went through male puberty can't compete. So, this is going to lead to a justification for puberty blockers. Wait for it....... Ok, at least you mentioned the puberty blockers....

Wasn't there an incident in swimming years ago where a group of swimmers got medals stripped off them because of their high testosterone count or that were on something increasing their hormones that made them stronger and way faster? Kinda the same thing don't you reckon.

"I'M 105KG OF PURE MUSCLE! No it's more like 80 kilos. No, 4 Kilos of muscle."😂

The smug Isaac in the thumbnail is my favorite Isaac. also: Does anyone besides me find it odd that athletic associations desperate to weed out "performance-enhancing drugs" don't seem to know what to do with the .0000001% of men who want to beat up girls?

They should do what I've been saying all along and have a trans division that runs along all different sports that have a mens and womens section

You can't really trust anything Hannah says on this, her relevancy depends on her being Australia's top trans advocate It's probably a fairly lucrative niche for her so it's in her interest to maintain her pro trans everything stances at all cost, as we all know how unforgiving and fickle that crowd is

As a qualified and experienced personal trainer, you could be benching 150kg, completely stop training for 12 months and probably bench more than 60kg

Went from being like 600 ranked in the male ranking to number 1 in female rankings..sounds legit.

A win for female rights!

So spot on, I’ve been saying this for years.

i heard this quote somewhere, i forget where but enjoy it " a tough woman can beat a variety of men, but a tough man can beat all women."

There is NO WAY that huge dude only benches 133lbs now. I was 5'6" in highschool and weighed 110lbs and could bench 125lbs.

While I do lean left on most things, I agree that trans-women should not compete in women's sport, the fact they were born as biologically men gives them an unfair advantage. As for trans-men competing in men's sport, I'm more on the fence about.

Thank goodness, there's hope for humanity yet.

One of my friends, we aren’t friends anywhere by the way, said she was going to write an essay on how teenagers should be able to change their gender. I told her that I agreed to an extent. People should be able to change their gender, I can’t fight that, but teenagers should not have the control over wether or not they can decide to change their gender. She was not too fond of this. She said okay and then gave me a really disapproving look, my group didn’t like me for a while. “She” actually think she’s a she and is intent on being a guy. Later on she had the option to be a boy, there was a thing where it was boys vs girls and I said why don’t you join the guys? You’re a guy right? You should be on their side to represent yourself” Her response was no “Because I don’t like those guys” Well guess what I don’t like certain people too, but I don’t get to pick and choose where I go! This is a rant that I am proud to yell about on the internet to strangers! I don’t like most trans people, because of the ones I’ve met they are vile abominations. People who only care about themselves and think all their problems can be blamed on others. I’m not a homophobic little sh*t, I’m just against the idea of gender conversion in human beings.

Bro im 5"10 74kg and i can bench over 60kg without ever having gone to the gym properly, i just played sport my whole life. There is absolutely 0 chance that giant professional rugby player benches less than me, theres just no way.

If it was truly fair, why do we never see Trans men competing with biological men?

Make a transgender a separate category. So transgender vs transgender rather than transgender vs male/female. It will add another category in the sport. That is what all professional sports should do

It’s crazy that this had to be debated. What a world we live in. Can I self identify as an extraterrestrial and get the hell off this planet!

Wow! Looks like one organization found their balls!! About goddamn time!!

I feel like it’s a sign that you have to make yourself weaker to compete in someone else’s league. As an athlete, how is that something to be proud of? You can’t even say you tried your best if your team loses.

Trans-Woman should have never been allowed to swim in woman's events from the beginning! I don't get how it's taken them this long to realise 'Yeah, this might be a bit unfair on female swimmers.'

Translation: they were losing money, because fans and athletes were sick of watching nutcases beat up on women.

There are people that try to say their anecdotal evidence proves that men should be able to go against women in competitions. All that proves is how bad they are in sports.

Let them have their own category in the “Special” Olympics

Once a man, always a man... biologically. Presenting as a female does not change biology. Trans people dont like it, but they accept it. Blaire White is a beautiful example of this. If you had never known her to be trans, by the way she looks and sounds you'd automatically assume she was a woman. She has come to terms that, yes, she is and always will be biologically male. Biology doesnt have to shape who you are, but you have to acknowledge your own biologic advantages and disadvantages, whiich Blaire does, even though for all intents and purposes she is a woman.

It's really stupid how the mainstream media decides to interview trans athletes and act as if their perspective is the correct one, or that they wouldn't have a bias when this regulation goes against their best interests. 🤦‍♂️

Glad to see more good content. Keep up the great work!

I'm a female with a body structure naturally bigger and stronger than my peers in my country (we're all pretty tall and big in the family) . When I used to compete in combat sports (kick boxing, thai boxe etc) I had to train with the smallest of the men category in order to not bash in the face of the other females, wich were in the standard range of body structure. During official turnaments I never got to the 3rd round, they always gave up first, because I was "pounding them like a blacksmith". I lost only one match over the years because I retired for a knee which just gave up during the match (which has become my reason for retiring, my legaments were absolutely destroied) My ring name was "the anomaly" for good reasons. It's only fair that this decision has been made, because if even a biological woman like me can be that dangerous to other women a trans woman could be worse. I support their journey into finding their true self, but it cannot be at the expenses of fairness and everybody's safety.

Hannah: "Doc, these pills are causing me to grow hair in strange places and it's making me feel like less of a delicate lady than I truly am" Doctor: "Okay. Where are you getting most of the new hair growth?" Hannah: "On and around my massive balls"

Well done 👏 its about time

Finally equality for women's swimming. Well done for standing up what's right.👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

This is fantastic, finally a step in the right direction. Enough of defying facts to please people.

Hey Isaac, have you seen The Queer Kiwi's video on you?

Why dont they have a LGBTQ Olympics and a drugged up Olympics?🤔

Jiblets..you made me spit my Sprite out of my nose lmao..I love all your videos..love from Canada

Would u want a three hundred pound trans women go against a hundred and twenty five pound women in hockey or football also swimming no no u don't because it's unfair I'm sorry but u can't deny it. U may try to but u can't lie and twist science and history of the two sexes

As a trans woman I feel like they should give them a seperate sport

*Insert South Park Randy Savage Transgender clip*

Good for everyone involved

You could do a mixed Trans division. Base it on a similar way boxers fight... by weight division. Someone like Lia Thomas can swim against another trans of either sex that is within her ability. Hannah Mousey can play in a field of mix trans of her size and ability and so on. That would be about as fair as it could get.

When I was 34 I was doing what is supposedly the hardest job in the world. I began running and cycling (triathlon and duathlon). I trained for 8 months after, and during, work, and went to the Australian duathlon championships, and came 38th. I beat all the women, and all the teams. It only took me 8 months of "part time" training to be able to beat all the women in Australia?!

They did an open category for them in the swimming and no one turned up.

Farkin hilarious Issac. Love yr stuff. Keep it up.

Took that politicans long enough to finaly make a rational decision in that. There is a little hope for the world.

I agree with you 1000% 👍 about time science is used over emotion.

I call BS in the drastic drop in numbers. That big of a drop in 12 months? BS she completely stopped training for those lifts in that 12 months. A lie to justify her argument.

I love you mentioned, why do we never hear about Trans Men in Male athletics being at an unfair advantage? 🤔

As someone who participated in many sports throughout my life. No one was ever a sorer loser than those who weren't allowed to compete when they had a distinct advantage.

I'm nearly 60 years old... been a man all my life. I have a friend; he's 29 - but he was a woman until age 21. He's a gym rat - 6 times a week - pumping iron, doing cardio, etc. I'm not a gym rat - I was until about 12 years ago but now I just cycle, run and do resistance exercises at home (plank, push ups, etc, yada, yada). Now, my young friends arms are bigger than mine - he's got pipes! Still - even though I'm nearly 30 years older than him - I smash him everytime he challenges me to arm wrestle, to a timed push up competition or a timed pull up competition. I know it's anecdotal but it seems to follow the science of biology, doesn't it? I reckon that by the time I hit 70 and he's 39.... he'll probably be stronger then... yup stronger than a 70 year old man. 🤣🤣🤣

The fact that we even have a have this conversation is insane.

I don't understand why, if you want to compete that badly, they don't make it so trans people have their own category. Trans men against trans men and trans women against trans women. That way you can still compete but everyone is starting on a level playing field.

see this isnt transphobic at all it's just science it's just facts if someone told me I couldn't be in a mens sport team I'd be ok with it, this is the thing not all of us are insane woke people some of us just want to live our lives but these insane trans people are speaking louder than the normal ones, I hate my community sometimes

Having another category of "trans" is the most logical placement and fair outcome to all. Its not anyone's fault if you don't have large numbers of these athletes - what is - is what is...Just look at that Hannah standing like a giant amongst the women athletes..what a joke that she would ever be seen as a fair contest

I hate that they call me a sis ,I'm a heterosexual biological woman, I don't need a bloody label

Totally 100% agree. In life, you HAVE to accept that decisions you make SOMETIMES limit the options available to you. This is one of those situations.

It’s about time. Now give them their own league so they can still compete.

I dont think many trans-men are lining up to compete in mens sports, pretty much sums up if trans woman should be allowed to compete in women's sport. Hope there is another league for trans athletes but sadly I cant see how it would work, seeing most sport works around sponsorship/advertising etc

What the heck is this crazy stuff about anyway. How much people in the world are trans, 0.01%? I think this world is gone mad and needs a reset.
