You're aware that trans people generally have been allowed to compete, with restrictions, already, right?

You don't need a large population with that advantage to put them all on the podium.

So why hasn't that happened? Trans people have been allowed to compete already, but all these terrible scenarios we keep getting warned about just haven't come to pass.

And we know that because there are like 5 cases of trans women competing and winning things that get brought up repeatedly by TERFs for years. If trans women "dominating" women's sports was so frequent an occurrence, conservatives wouldn't be foaming at the mouth about a trans woman placing 6159th in a marathon.

It's not advisable to allow trans people in those categories because removing them later from that would be inhumane.

That ship has long sailed.

This is literally just a wedge issue. A nothing burger that they have convinced you is important. Its only purpose is division.
