    The new rules do not discuss the issue of transgender student-athletes and which teams they can play on.

    Won’t someone think of the athletes?!

      While I completely agree with your sentiment, I would imagine that some of the women in your scenario might find it extremely unfair to be competing with someone who has an innate physical advantage over them.

      That’s the problem with this culture war stuff, what should be reasoned debate becomes polarised shouting matches and people calling each other nazis.

        What innate physical advantage? Transwoman on T blockers often have lower T than cis women.

          Exactly. Almost as if trans women are actually women…

          The whole, “They’ll dominate women’s sports!” is an ignorant statement at best and a blatant strawman at worst.

      It wasn’t all that long ago when conservatives hated women’s sports precisely because they conflated women athletes with lesbians.
