How many trans athletes to date have had some advantage? I mean, I guess there was that one South Park episode…

Seriously, go take a look at how many trans women there are compared to cis women. After looking at those numbers and just taking a vague guess as to how many of each group go into athletics, if you think the concern you have is still valid and worth resources to address, justify why.

You do make good points and the information is too new to quantify. Plus, it's not easy for a transgender person to enter sports with it's culture, probably a ton of discrimination too.
So I don't know which way it will go. Could that number grow enough to make a difference? It could be a non issue I'm discussing. This started as hypothetical risks, not facts.
