I also disagree with the bolded. You seriously think a young MtoF trans athlete couldn't face potential discrimination or backlash without the support of established rules? If I had a trans daughter I would really want there to be guidelines in the sport so my daughter wasn't facing uncertainty and could just focus on her sport. I also wouldn't want her dealing with breaking new ground on this - my assumption is she'd have a enough to worry about based on some hardships I've seen my daughter's FtoM friend struggle with.

I suspect they will face backlash no matter what - if there are rules or no rules. If they dominate - they will get backlash. If they suck - they will get backlash. If they change in the same change room - backlash. If they get their own special change room separate from the team - backlash. If they do nothing but play the sport and are completely average - backlash.
