If trans athletes are causing a serious, quantifiable disruption in competitive sports, to the point you can direct me to multiple bodies of evidence that clearly show a trend of cis athletes being overshadowed, then, and only then will I agree there is a problem.
But there isn’t.
There was no reason to impose restrictions on trans athletes before there is any data to suggest they were a problem. They only reason is prejudice.
And the same goes for trans people in gendered bathrooms or any of the other shit people come up with as hypothetical problems for pearl clutching. You can imagine all kinds of ways gender could have “environmental” impacts. “Could” is the key word. We’re not going to operate on “could”. I want “is”.
Show me the trends. Show me the data. Show me where it’s a quantifiable problem first, then we’ll talk.
