I do think trans men and women should have to prove themselves in some way.

Though I love sports, they're still just sports at the end of the day. I'm not going to overly worry about a handful of scummy real or fake trans people ruining "muh sanctity". I think we can easily iron issues out.

This all really goes back to societal acceptance of the trans community. We all know a lot of the loud voices here are people that simply don't believe transgenderism is real. Painting them as crazy perverts and grifters is what they'll do whether or not the topic is sports.

It's weird that people are doomsaying while also calling the issue nuanced and complicated. The latter implies we have yet to figure out a solution.

I don't really have an opinion on this one way or the other but I don't think it's about the sanctity of the sport as much as the fact that for a lot of women, their ability to excel in sports will have a significant impact on their lives through things like scholarships for example.

Someone getting an unfair advantage and potentially kicking a 3rd place athlete into fourth place (again, not saying I agree with this view) is the difference between a scholarship and an education or a job at McDonalds.
