Outside of the elite athlete it doesn’t matter as tiering puts people against similar competition.

Exactly what I was getting at. I trust Sliver's reason for worrying, but in my day to day there's too many instances of rube, middle aged white guys that are suddenly all over trans issues. Acting like they care about various issues that the trans community has an effect on.
The uncomfortableness and in some cases flat out hate towards the trans community shines through in their opinions and "concerns".
