At face value, one side still believes that the other should live ( just that they're in jail for it). While the other side wants them all dead. Given this context, the extreme left position is still more reasonable than the extreme right.
Is the middle then that 50% of far right bigots go to jail while 50% of LGBTQ+ are dead? To me, this is still absurd.

No, that's just reducing absurdism. Middle ground is talking about things like the swimming that was brought up above and looking for solutions.
A trans woman probably doesn't want to compete in male events.
Biologically female athletes probably don't want all the college scholarships/awards to go to athletes who have the significant physiological advantage of being born biologically male.
Trans male athletes probably don't want to compete as females, but are probably not competitive with male-at-birth athletes.
Maybe there needs to be 4 categories for college athletics?
I think it's reasonable to want to support trans athletes without taking away the hard fought Title IX rights from female-at-birth athletes.
