Why? Just why? Why does it matter? My daughter is a competitive swimmer. There are a lot of kids who are faster than others because they're more developed. If there was a trans kid competing, it doesn't bother me, most of the time you're competing against yourself and trying to achieve personal bests or qualify for competition. My daughter has unreal muscle development, so much so that when she gets into the start position for back stroke it caused her coach to exclaim: holy ####, look at those muscles! So, now I have to worry about her competing against Americans and them wanting to inspect her genitals? #### THAT.

I think the objection is when scholarships and such are on the line.
It's actually a really important issue for 0.00001% of Americans, so a little rich of you to dismiss it off handedly. If my options are letting a trans athlete play in amateur sports or ushering in a fascist regime hellbent on destroying global stability, gutting checks and balances, obliterating oversight, eschewing long-standing alliances, ignoring due process, and aggressively threatening allies with economic warfare and annexation, you can bet your ass I'll be standing up against the real threat of a 16-year-old trans girl competing in a high school swim competition because that's the price of freedom.
