Is it fair for smaller, more slender men to have to compete in men’s hockey against men 7 or 8 inches taller and 80 pounds heavier? Tough to say, maybe it isn’t, maybe we should put a stop to it.

I guess it's not really fair that smaller men are at a disadvantage when it comes to competing in men's hockey or football or basketball. So guess what...they don't play past a certain level because we can't all do everything. Their physiology sort of self-polices them out of the running.
Sometimes the hand we are dealt prevents us from achieving our dreams and goals. Shortest guy currently in the NBA is 5'11". If you're 5'10" or under (70% of men on earth), you are never going to play in the NBA.
Maybe if you are MtoF trans you are not going to be able to play in women's leagues. I agree it isn't fair to the trans athlete. I don't know how to make it fair to them.
