What Women Athletes Need to Unlock Their Full Potential | Kate Ackerman | TED
As a sports scientist, athlete and director of the Female Athlete Program at Boston Children’s Hospital, Kate Ackerman understands that women athletes need more than pretty sports bras or new sneakers to achieve peak performance — they need true investment committed to their health and well-being. Ackerman advocates for a long overdue sports medical system…

I loved your speech, but its not only female athletes who crashed and burned and developed eating disorders during Covid. The information you gain from your research doesn‘t just apply to female athletes, it applies to all women everywhere. Even if we are not trying to make an Olympic team, we all would like to understand our bodies, puberty and menopause better, maximise our health and fitness potential. Women top the statistics in practically every autoimmune disease out there and it has to be linked to our hormones, and i can‘t help thinking much of it could be avoided if we knew better how to help our bodies heal from stress or illness. The information available to women today and the help provided by gynaecologists on puberty, pms, fibroids, menopause is so incredibly lacking its shocking. Both governments and insurance companies should be throwing money at you, as your research would result in preventative health care, as ill women and women unable to reach their full potential, costs the economy and insurance companies hundreds of thousands every year and its not in the financial interest of pharmaceuticals to invest in preventative health care ( with the exception of vaccines), they are concerned with only curative. Going forward preventative health care needs to be funded by governments and health insurance companies and your research I believe could greatly advance this area for all women. I wish you the very best in your endeavours and hope as a non athlete to read a lot more about your research in the very near future.

@Sareaesque See Step 2, “she” didn’t start lifting until after “she” started transitioning.
But to your main point, “she” went from never competing to get gold in “her” first ever international event, the 2017 Gold Coast. From there “she” picked up two more international event gold medals. Next “she” went now to be a medal contender at the Olympics in just four years.

Why spend more money here when men can choose to be women anytime to dominate women’s sport? Heck we could even decide to be women for 10 years to build our sporting careers on women’s sport and then later decide that we’re men again, get married and retire as men if we choose to.

A little disappointed, I feel the title was deceiving. I came here cause I thought we were going to get introduced to new research of what female athletes need to unlock their full potential. However, it was nothing more than a rally for support – which is fine. However nothing of note was revealed in regards to the title.

One thing women athletes need to do to unlock their full potential is have men pretending to be women competing as women…. 10 years of that and you won’t have a woman competing in women’s sports anywhere!
Congratulations whammen you played yourselves. Just remember, any vote for any Democrat is a vote for men in women’s sports. Not to mention men in your bathrooms, and your dressing rooms!
Good job!
“Anorexia is a dysmorphic disorder that leads to people killing themselves.” This is why we try to help people with anorexia overcome the delusions (Can’t link source (thanks youtube for suppressing actual science). Mesh terms are anorexia nervosa delusion pubmed) which are at the root of their disease. Whether they are overvalued ideals (I want to be thin) or strict delusions (I’m fat).
What we DON’T do is feed into those delusions by encouraging them to go even further. Recommending so-called transgender surgery to a patient who believes they are a different gender, is like recommending liposuction, eating less, weight loss, and appetite-suppressing drugs to an anorexic with less than 4% body fat.
It is exactly the opposite of what that patient needs.
In my view, transgender people fall into three camps. The first is the healthy variety. The least common. These are people who realize that they are what they are, and they choose to live as another gender and are willing to accept the inconvenience, pain, potentially shortened life due to hormones, and public scrutiny. I have two friends like this. I was at their respective weddings. But neither of them has any delusions about what they are. In a conversation with the FTM, she told me that she understands she is very probably shortening her life by 10 to 20 years because of the combination of testosterone and estrogen blockers. She was mentally stable, and happy before her transition. And she is mentally stable and happy now. That is a nondelusional person who recognizes that they are posing as another gender and that’s how they want to live their life. And I support that in those cases.
The second variety is the delusional. The people who believe they actually have changed from female to male or male to female. That is delusion in the face of reality. And that should not be celebrated or encouraged, and no surgery or hormone therapy should be given in that case. Those people should be treated for their mental illness. The same way that you treat someone suffering from anorexia nervosa.
The third group are transtrenders. These are people who are rolling with the trend. Many of them may overlap with the delusional category, but that’s a case-by-case. Many of these people are very young, under the influence of public trends. Your typical young person who’s going through a crisis of identity. Which is something that every young person goes through as they grow from a child into an adult. The problem is now you’ve got this entire industry targeting these people telling them that their normal adolescent angst is actually gender dysmorphia and then push and encourage them to follow this path of transgenderism. Frankly that is evil. It isn’t like becoming Emo or goth, which are entirely reversible conditions. This leads to permanent physiological and psychological damage.
Currently, the left is engaging in an all fronts War to influence the second and third type to grab onto transgenderism as their flag. And then fly that flag and hate anyone who attempts to actually help them. This is an extension of the prior push, which was more subtle, where they push adolescents into adopting lgb Lifestyles, and then set up the straw man that conservatives are their enemy because they’re gay. But conservative person doesn’t care how you live your life as long as you’re not hurting others. The line gets drawn when you start pushing particular lifestyles on children or the mentally ill who can’t reasonably make decisions.
For the second and third type, the delusional and transtrenders, psychological and or psychiatric should be the approach. Not encouraging them to delve ever deeper into delusion.
First, face what you really are. Get healthy in that space. Then, as a consenting adult who is not delusional, if you wish to pretend to be another gender, then that’s your choice as an adult.
I draw another line at being forced to call someone a woman, who is not. I will be polite, As Long As You Are. But I will not pull punches on the facts of the case. And if you decide to try to insist that I call you a woman, when you are not. I will refuse. In the history of humankind no man has ever become a woman. That’s reality.
