Where Are the Trans Women Dominating Men’s Sports? Just for fun, let’s Flip the Field.
Setting:
Men’s pro locker room. Helmets thunk. Tape rips. A camera light clicks on.
Coach:
“Roster update. We signed a biological woman. She made the team.”
Linebacker #1 (indignant):
“Unfair advantage!”
Reporter:
“What advantage?”
Linebacker #1:
“She finished the conditioning test… twice.”
Quarterback:
“She learned the playbook and the audibles. Nobody does that.”
Tight End:
“She studies film. On Tuesdays.”
Defensive Coordinator (deadpan):
“She tackles with her head up, wraps, and drives. Textbook. That’s against the spirit of the game.”
Announcer (PA):
“Debut tonight: first woman to start in the men’s league. Scouting report says she communicates, doesn’t bite on pump fakes, and—this is controversial—hits the open man.”
Crowd Sign:
“STOP THE UNFAIRNESS—NO WOMEN WITH FUNDAMENTALS!”
Coach (muttering):
“If she also does clock management, we’re out of excuses.”
Kicker (whisper):
“She just told me special teams matter. I feel… seen.”
Caption:
When ‘fairness’ means ‘I don’t want to get out-worked.’
This post is dedicated to Riley Gaines and written in open opposition to the ridiculous notion of supporting biological men in womens sports. How have people stooped so low as to allow this? Let these transgenders compete in their own leagues.
🎬 Scenes We’d Like to See: “The Hold-Up in the Tunnel”
Setting:
A packed college football stadium. The band’s blasting, cheerleaders are bouncing, fans waving foam fingers like it’s the Second Coming of Bear Bryant.
Announcer (excited):
“Ladies and gentlemen… here come your home team heroes!”
Band: (blaring the fight song)
🎵 “Charge on, Mighty Stallions!” 🎵
Crowd on their feet, roaring—
…and then… nothing.
Ten seconds.
Twenty.
Thirty.
The tunnel stays dark.
Announcer (awkward chuckle):
“Uh… any second now, folks…”
Finally, a referee jogs into the locker room to see what’s going on. He comes back out, face red, whispering with the other refs. They call over both head coaches for a huddle.
After a moment, the lead ref takes the mic:
“Well… folks… looks like we’ve got a situation. There’s a biological woman in the men’s locker room… and the players are refusing to come out!”
Crowd: gasp, laughter, nervous applause, a few beer sprays.
Announcer:
“And that, ladies and gentlemen, may be the first time in school history the defense stayed in the closet!”
Women in men’s sports: A rarely talked about concept.
Granted, in most strength-, power-, and speed-dominated men’s sports, biological males have an advantage. But there are niches where women have matched or even beaten fields of men—especially when brute strength matters less, or when endurance/skill dominate.
Here are clean examples (open or “men’s” fields):
- Ultra-endurance: Women occasionally win overall in very long events.
• Courtney Dauwalter won the Moab 240 outright (2017), beating the entire men’s field.
• In ultra-distance open-water swims, women often have higher finish rates and sometimes faster times in cold water, likely helped by efficiency and buoyancy. - Equestrian (mixed against men): Women regularly beat men at the highest level (e.g., Olympic dressage/show jumping are mixed; women have multiple golds).
- Precision/skill sports:
• Shooting: Zhang Shan won Olympic skeet gold in 1992 in a mixed event, beating men; afterward, the event was split by sex.
• Sailing/rally: Ellen MacArthur (solo round-the-world records) and Jutta Kleinschmidt (overall Dakar Rally winner, 2001) beat male fields. - Motorsport (strength less decisive): Danica Patrick won an IndyCar race (2008) and placed highly against men.
“Biological women (transgender men) in men’s sports”: once on medically supervised testosterone, transgender men can and do compete in the men’s category. There isn’t broad evidence they’re generally better than men, but individual athletes can excel—especially in sports where size/strength are less central and skill, strategy, endurance, or heat/cold tolerance matter more.
Bottom line: if we’re talking typical men’s sprinting, football, wrestling, etc., the male advantage holds. If we’re talking ultra-endurance, precision, motorsport, equestrian, sailing—women have already shown they can beat men outright.
