Women: (does just that) Men: (howls of outrage) Whadda ya mean No men allowed!?!? This is an outrage! This is discrimination! Men:(realizing they're ranting at a brick wall...disdainful sniffs and mutters) it ain't a real gym

So, how does that play out with trans women? There is a schism in the alphabet community on this. That's the big debate that I've been hearing on this, well, not gyms but women's sports, issue.

I have no idea how it would play out (other than possibly badly?). I think the gist of this was to keep the creepers from taking pics and video without the woman's permission.

The thing is, trans people (understandably in the case of actual trans people) want to be in the spaces where their new gender congregate. This can create problems such as with the Olympics - how many women will win in any event if trans women, who have the greater bone and muscle mass of men, begin competing as women? There has already been a death in conjunction - a trans woman MMA fighter broke the skull of a female competitor. www.westernjournal.com/transgender-fighter-broke-womans-skull-mma-ring-now-called-bravest-athlete-history/ |

From what I misremember of Olympic sports prior to the Berlin Wall and the USSR collapse, we already had trans women competing. Only they were called the East German and USSR female athletes. I know they have that trope about the "sturdy Russian Bloc peasant woman", but they beat the snot out of that stereotype with those teams. The only female athletes from those two countries that looked female were the gymnastics teams.

well, back then, the trope who is cheating during the Games was either East Germans or the Russians. Later they added the Chinese

IMO, when they grab promising kids and segregate them and rigorously train them, it's a form of cheating when other countries don't do that.
