I think I bumped into this guy. I agree.

Any time you refer to trans women as "biological males" you're denying their validity.

I still think that the compromise is what we've been working towards; if you want to compete as a woman in a sport in which testosterone is an advantage, then you need to have been on gender affirming hormones for a period of time. This only applies to adults. Let kids compete...I mean, seriously, they're banning prepubescent trans girls from competing.

Some sports, testosterone is not an advantage and there doesn't need to be any gender policing at all. Some of these sports really don't even need to be segregated at all...target shooting is the one which always comes to mind, unless it's to protect men from the ego hit of being beaten by women ;)).

Remember that there are not many trans people and elite sports are not fair anyway.
