Seriously, you don’t see women who transitioned to men trying to compete in men’s sports.

Not really, unless it’s more subjective like ballet—London Ballet has someone they accepted who clearly is not the same level as the women but hey, they can virtue signal about him at least 🙄

But... you do see women trying to be the same as men in the military. Just devil's advocate. I've been thinking lately, how much of this was perpetuated by women saying they could do everything a man could? they joined elite ranks and then expected different physical fitness goals which put the men's lives in danger potentially at some point over their career.

You bring up good points. We could learn a lot from the Israelis and have all women units. I know I can’t physically overpower most men, however I can hold my own with some in a wrestling match and I have a wicked headlock. What makes me potentially dangerous is my training and the fact I don’t look like a threat. Our brains are our greatest weapon. Sadly the military is being rendered ineffective by woke leadership. Standards are changing because people coming in aren’t physically or mentally tough or fit enough to make it through basic training. I worked on military installations and w the VA for 30+ years. I’ve seen it all and the recent changes are not for the better.
