Men and women's bodies are completely different in muscle, structure and strength. It's just not fair to the ladies/women.

This is so obvious and everybody already knows it, and I find it sad that this is necessary.

We should play according to what's on our state issued ID. Unless surgery is complete it's unfair

No male-born person should be able to compete in a female protected division no matter their desired gender

I feel to respect transgender that their own division will allow them to compete & enjoy our sport. We must be fair to all ..if a transgender had their own division but played in a group with 3 women...those 3 women would support and welcome them v.s being upset that they have to compete against them..by doing so we will be welcoming to transgender without personal judgment and at same time being fair to the woman that had fought so had to be recognized and given their division..such should hold true for transgender..be welcoming supportive and respectful..in short we should not disrespect the women players and their feelings ( as a hole ) Just to support the transgender player and their feelings or rights ..in the bigger picture as more transgender players find the sport we love their division shall grow and shall above all welcome the growth of our sport

Female disc golfers are being placed at a competitive disadvantage. Rules changes are a big part of the PDGA's responsibility to the players, to promote fair play. This rule is not fair.

The "M" in MPO stands for "Mixed". That is where I believe competitors that were not born female belong.

They shouldn’t be allowed to play in the woman’s division and or all together

There is a huge disadvantage to biological women here.

It is completely unfair to have a biological male competing in sports against females. Male pros make more money in payouts. Why? Let’s be honest. Because there is more competition in the men’s open division and it’s more entertaining. So why would you let someone of a different sex who is stronger, can throw farther compete with in a devision that’s already crippled in payouts?

I feel strongly about women having their own divison to compete. We are born male or female and that should clearly be the deciding factor, not how one dresses or hormones one takes. Physically it would give a male an advantage to compete as a woman.

Women's leagues and sports should never have to worry born males infiltrating their competitions because the scientists who sell the hormone therapies claims it makes them a woman.

Even with the hormone treatment it has been found that male born athletes still have an advantage. End this nonsense now because it will end later anyway and all titles will be vacated and/or moved to the transgender division that will be formed. In the meantime, don’t deny rightful champions of their glory.

It’s clearly a disadvantage for female born athletes.
