By all means have a conversation about transgender women in sport, but it is one that should take place with the high level athletes who it actually effects.

You're right, I don't think that people care that much about women's sports, but girls sports is a different thing. Many folks have daughters playing middle school and high school sports.
One absolute about children's sports is that parents are absolutely crazy people who have no self awareness. I have seen the grown adults threaten to beat up 12 year old reffs in u8 hockey. The trouble isn't hypocrisy, the trouble is that parents are stupid about sports.
