I’d like to also add that the last discussion people should have around trans rights is atheletics. It’s just not a significant issue for the amount of text it consumes. The vast vast vast majority of people will never be affected. In general this is used as a wedge to justify discrimination. (I’m not saying you are doing that but that is how this discussion is used by politicians)

This is actually my point as well. It's such a small issue, but the right wing makes it such a pillar of their arguments. I think they're right on that one small and insignificant point, so I have no problem granting them that for two reasons. One, it affects barely anybody. Two, it leaves them having to defend their bigoted views with other arguments...and there aren't any.

Of course that's not true. That's not an argument you could never win and it diminishes all the important reasons why trans people deserve equality, respect and fair treatment.
