I’m sorry, it’s not actually good enough to say “it could be a non issue, this is just hypothetical” because you’re calling trans girls a risk to the well-being of cis girls. If that’s what you want to do, you better be able to justify those statements with facts, not shrug them off. Because while it’s hunky dory for you to go “well, just asking questions!” for every one of you there are two people like you who aren’t “just asking questions” and want trans girls banned from participating in girls athletics and who encourage bullying of young trans girls.
I started my first reply with, "I think the risks could be". If you're going to be a matter of fact with everything and accusatory, we can't have a discussion.
