Also, sports have always been “unfair”, not only because of differences in access to training but also because of “genetic anomalies”. Back before Martin Luther King Jr., a lot of Americans would argue that Black athletes shouldn’t compete among white athletes because of an “unfair advantage”.

Believing nonsense propaganda about trans people while ignoring all the swaths of evidence disproving the propaganda does make you a transphobe, yes.
Our hyper fixation on sports, taking them deathly serious and giving them million dollar performance stakes is the problem.
They are games. Games should be fun and inclusive.

Michael Phelps comes to mind.
Why stop there? Let’s restrict based on color and religion too! And when hate crimes follow, they deserve it, right?
Red heads have different pain tolerance from normal people. That’s just basic biology. It’s not fair to make them compete with normal people. /s
Edit: nothing wrong with redheads, mind. My best friend is a strawberry blond.
What are your feelings about a trans man playing against cis men?
It sounds like you would think that’s unfair too, but would it be unfair to the trans man or the cis men?
