Ah, an argument ad populum. "It's a popular position, so it must be right!"
It's hilarious watching you scold a trans woman for being angry or undecorous or whatever because ya'll politely agreed discriminating against trans women was fine because it gives you good tummy feels or whatever.

She isn't really bringing much discussion to the table, just labeling people out of rage. It's a hot topic for discussion because it's something that needs to be discussed. There are genuine advantages and there is animosity being gained from that, and women are tending to be scared to say much because they will be labeled as biggots.

Personally, I think the Olympic guidelines are pretty fair.

The new guidelines require only that trans woman athletes declare their gender and not change that assertion for four years, and demonstrate a testosterone level of less than 10 nanomoles/liter for at least one year prior to competition and throughout the period of eligibility. Athletes who transitioned from female to male were allowed to compete without restriction.

However in the majority of highschool and early college affairs this is simply not the case. Exeptions, sure. Sports are not inclusive as much as people who don't care about them want them to be.
