The important thing to remember is that this is entirely designed to make objections to trans people acceptable.
It’s very similar to how pro choice people would say you wouldn’t make a women carry a child that was the product of rape would you? The goal is to normalize that their are acceptable cases for abortion to get agreeable common ground which leads to the expansion of pro choice beliefs.
The Trans women in sports os the same. You wouldn’t want some to be disadvantaged by having to compete against trans women without any rules. Which then normalizes the discussion about the regulation of trans people. This is intentional. While at the highest levels there should be some guidelines on who is eligible (and there are) the presence of trans women in sports is not a societal crisis. So when this topic is brought up and discussed keep in mind the motivations behind people making it an issue. I’m not accusing anyone here of doing that but the reasons bathrooms, change rooms and womens athletics come up is because they are designed to make discrimination acceptable to the population.
