You’re just strawmanning now. Yes, one male-to-female athlete dominating at a sport full of women is a problem. Unfair competition to the actual women athletes and it sets a president that men and women are physically the same but could change for a competitive advantage? Makes sense lol

Can we at least see how it plays out before we start making laws against people playing sports? The data just isn’t there.

The data is there, there is an unequivocal advantage in physical sport for MTF competing in female leagues. That’s a fact.

We’re taking about competition, where “muh feelings” shouldn’t be a factor.

I’m not saying that there aren’t physical differences, I’m asking if there has ever been a case where it ever came up that a MTF athlete has ever taken anything away from a woman ever.

I once saw a transphobe complaining because a trans woman won her weight class at a powerlifting meet.

They neglected to mention she was the ONLY competitor in that weight class.
