I'm not even sure where you are going with this. Women fought hard in the US for title ix and it has been a mostly positive thing. To my understanding, I think NCAA has rules in place that are adequate, and I think they follow along with the cycling example earlier. I think GirlySports would likely agree with that last statement as well.
So, what is your stance on this?
1. Anyone should be able to identify as the gender they identify with, and be able to play with that gender at any level.
2. Guidelines should be clear and in place for elite women sports and late teen girl sports that quantify hormone levels to be eligible.
3. Female sports are regressive and sexist, and women and men are equal and they should all play on the same field based on merit.
4. Have no rules on this at any age or level as it is too rare to be a problem and if it becomes a problem down the line, deal with it then.

Part of a nuanced conversation is recognizing and correctly describing transphobia as transphobia, instead of blowing it off as “name calling” or assuming it is an insult instead of an accurate description of particular views or motivations?
You want to have a conversation where certain words or descriptions are off limits solely because you don’t like them, not because they’re offensive or hurtful or taboo. That’s different than wanting a nuanced conversation.
