    I'm guessing you're a man from your username. I guess that's why you don't think women's sports is as important as men's. Colleges have and will continue to have sports teams, and will give scholarships to students they want on their teams. After reading the publication you sent me, I agree that students on sports scholarships shouldn't have their aid rescinded after injury. I also agree that aid should be easier for disabled people to access. I do not agree that just because some people are incapable of obtaining a scholarship, that scholarship shouldn't exist at all. You sound like a whiny kid who thinks that just because he can't have something, nobody should.

    So why should able-bodied women have access to scholarships that disabled women don't? If sports are for rewarding biological advantage, and trans women are biologically better at sports than cis women (in your words, not mine), logically sports scholarships SHOULD go to trans women instead of cis women, the same way they go to able-bodied women instead of disabled women.

    Because transwomen are men. The whole notion of "transwoman" is a social construct. Males shouldn't compete against females. Period. Whining and calling us transphobic, and comparing "transwomen" to disabled women is a nonstarter.

    I also get the impression you're not an athlete and have never played a sport. LOL only the people who have never played any sport can make your argument.
