People dedicate their lives to sport to win. "You play to have fun and make friends" are words of comfort for a child, not motivators for a competitive athlete.
Normalizing this doesnt make it go away, it would only accelerate the impact on female sport.

Give us numbers then. How many lost scholarships? There are 460,000 NCAA athletes across all sports, all genders. So tell me? (btw: 32 trans athletes all time in NCAA history - both genders)
Your previous post was talking about teenagers, where sports quite frankly, are to have fun and learn social skills. If only 2% of NCAA athletes even go pro in their sports, what are the odds of any kid playing sports going pro?
When we get to high-performance, which is a different topic - the regulation should be on the individual sport bodies. Politicians will just muck it all up, especially American ones.
This is just cruelty on kids, but that's what people who support this want. They get off on the cruelty, disguised as deep concern for _____ <insert platitude here>.
