Transitioning is incredibly traumatic for the body (and mentally) you are not as strong after the fact as you were before.

This argument has existed before Trans. I rememberan Olympic sprinter opened this debate. She had more masc hormones than average. She didn't take masc hormones, she didn't drake performance enhancing drugs, she wasn't Trans. She was just born with more than the average male hormones than the average woman and there was a debate on if that gave her an unfair advantage.

Every time you people shift the goalposts, you shift them even more when it's finally met. If a naturally born woman gets the same argument, when will this argument end? When women can't compete in sports at all? Back in the kitchen taking care of house and family?

When women can’t compete in sports at all?

Crazy how conservatives finally found an excuse to watch the WNBA.

Yes, it's a valid counterargument to what I've written. Defining a woman is hard.

But I see that being reasonable didn't work for you in the long run.

Its hard to be reasonable when you won't and keep taking our rights away, you people are always shifting the goal posts to meet your own personal ends of what a woman should be.
