Oh just shut the hell up Bert favor.....(Brett Favre).......

Former Packers quarterback Brett Favre made his viewpoint on transgender athletes clear in his podcast Tuesday, saying it’s not fair for trans women to compete against other women.

According to a report from The Hill, Favre said allowing trans women to compete with other women is allowing men into the field.

“It’s not fair for a man, even if this person wants to be a woman or feels compelled — if you want to become the opposite sex, that’s fine. I got no problem with it. But you can’t compete against — males cannot compete against females,” Favre said on his podcast.

The question arose shortly after trans New Zealand weightlifter Laurel Hubbard qualified for the Tokyo Olympics June 21. Hubbard has long met testosterone requirements for competing as a woman, having last competed as a man in 2001.

Favre made a distinction between Hubbard and “true females” in his comments, saying he would be “beside himself” if he was a woman and lost to Hubbard.

Excuse me no SB ring mofo. I never once felt compelled to be a woman. I always was a woman. I am becoming that physically now. So kiss my trans ass. These idiots think that trans women are gonna be strong like men?

First off. That is horseshit. When a man starts taking HRT (hormones) it drastically reduces the muscle mass, lowers testosterone to near to nothing, it also can reshape your skeletal system. Some cases shrinking of the body, legs, hands, and feet.

Educate your fucking selves

Point in fact he does have a super bowl ring, not that it is all that important in the context of your post.
