Before I even watched this documentary, I said to myself "I know isn't going to have Selina Soule, Chelsea Mitchell, Alanna Smith, and the countless others who are biological women that lost their places to trans athletes along with their side of the story." I also said "I can tell this is going to be one sided." Trans women ARE going to be stronger than biological women and everyone know it. And women are being silenced into speaking up because its "transphobic". I do on the other hand think it's awful that the parents who have the same mindset as I do are yelling and saying terrible things to these trans teens as they are still learning and discovering the people who they truly are. However.... now it's going to end up getting to the point where the "football", "basketball", "baseball" etc.. that we've always known, will no longer be these same sports anymore. We will apparently keep making these concessions, in order to make sure we don't hurt anyone's feelings. Will we ever get to the point where we realize that we are now changing these sports as we know them, along with the "women's world records" or "women's olympic gold medalists" and so on and so forth, because of us now allowing athletes who were not born as females to compete with others who were? I cannot understand how anyone can possibly think that this is fair to women athletes in particular, because we are absolutely the weaker gender physically, and no matter how hard we train, we basically always will be. If transgender athletes continue to compete alongside of us, they will always come out on top unfortunately. But oh, let's make sure we don't say anything about that at all, and that we just accept it, so no one gets their feelings hurt or so they don't start feeling as though they don't belong. Well again, my apologies but what about the feelings of athletes who were born women? What about us feeling as though we are being pushed out of our respective sports now, with no chance of coming out on top if this continues? Unfortunately I'm sure most people that read my review will look upon me as transphobic, which is absolutely not the case whatsoever. I simply want to state that I feel that after watching this documentary, instead of feeling inspired, that I now feel sad. Sad that there's no one out there considering how athletes born female feel about this happening in each of their sports. Instead everyone wants to only speak of how inspirational these trans women are for competing in whichever sport they feel that they should belong in. For me, hearing about these women I mentioned early on in my review basically working so incredibly hard to get to where they were in their sports, only to be overtaken by a trans athlete who was born with a physical structure that would always be stronger and more capable of certain things physically than these other women's could ever be. Yet they are forgotten for the most part, and sidelined, and left to basically realize that there's now nothing they can do to be number one in their sport. I just am hoping that anyone who reads my review could hopefully take a moment to consider those women and whether or not this is fair to them....
