I mean statically there's a waaaay better chance that a trans person will be ridiculed and bullied into a suicide attempt than rising to the top of the heap in a sport because they started out male. The latter being nearly impossible for them.

But if they can get there than all the power to them, as that's a better life than most trans will ever be able to live. Trans youth attempt suicide at a 32% - 50% rate depending on country. Maybe let's not catastrophize over the minuscule chance that one trans person may dream of becoming an athlete, get through all the **** that comes their way as a trans youth, get to the top and then beat born women in some sport or event.
