People dedicate their lives to sport to win. "You play to have fun and make friends" are words of comfort for a child, not motivators for a competitive athlete.
Normalizing this doesnt make it go away, it would only accelerate the impact on female sport.

Your argument here is circular. You're arguing that trans athletes should not be considered girls when it comes to sports, and you're defending that argument by saying that if a trans athlete gets a scholarship, then girls lost a scholarship.
That only works if you already presume that trans athletes should not be considered girls and that they should not be eligible for those scholarships.
If you agree that trans athletes can be girls, then girls are still getting those scholarships.
As a more general comment on how I feel about this; it sucks to be trans. If the one damned thing you can get out of it is that you get to be good at a sport and there's some scholarship which might be easier for you than someone else, I don't see that as a massive issue.
There just aren't enough trans women who are into sports for this to be a real problem.
