GYMNASTICS

As most of you know, I know quite a lot about gymnastics. My twins were in the sport for about four or five years. Here’s the reason that no trans man could transition to men’s gymnastics. I already told you why no trans woman could go the other way. So here’s why the opposite is also true. A trans man could not compete in men’s gymnastics. And first you have to remember that to transition they would have had to be a mediocre woman gymnast and thought that you could excel as a man. You would be crazy

Now it’s possible that she could compete effectively in the floor excercise because both sexes do it and likewise the vault and the high bar because it has become similar to the uneven bars but then we get to the two events that require immense upper body strength. The pommel horse and the rings. Few if any women have the upper body strength to compete in these events. And if you weren’t an expert woman gymnast, you couldn’t possibly compete. You might get through a weak exercise on the pommel horse but there is no way you could ever do a successful performance on the rings. I still don’t know how elite males do it. I don’t know what muscles are involved with some required moves like the iron cross and various variations. There is no way that a failed female gymnast would have the upper body strength to compete effectively.

And just so you know my younger sister who is four years and three days younger than me took ballet when she was 6 and 7 years old and she sucked at it. I once had to go to a recital where she played a tree in Hansel and Gretal and she sucked and she was better than the adult trans ballerina !
