Would you say it's fair to say the trans community is growing as acceptance grows?

Some trans women have unfair physiological advantages in some sports, but not all do, and not in all sports. I just find your position similar to the belief that the average male athlete could go into to any high level women’s sport and completely dominate. Do you believe that? If not, why do you believe trans women can?
As far as the community goes, awareness of it is growing as acceptance grows, but it’s a medical condition that effects less than half of a percent of the population, and the number of people who medically transition is significantly lower than even that. As much as there is an element of young people playing with identities trying to figure out who they are, there doesn’t seem to be any evidence that the actual medical condition that precedes any medical transition is becoming more “popular” or whatever. That’s not exactly how biology works, which i think you know. And medically transitioning, from everything I have heard second hand, f######king sucks. So it’s not really in the realm of “let me completely #### my body to place higher in women’s high school badminton.”
