The experience over the years
of nothing getting better

it would be "funny" if people started taking the anti-trans-in-sport argument to its logical extreme: the paralympics should only be open to athletes with congenital physical disabilities

The answer to the topic question: obviously yes
I do have a side question that’s kind of related. With all of the articles/discussions around this topic, why aren’t intersex athletes also discussed with them or even much at all? For those who are against transgender athletes competing, it’s probably inconvenient. But including them in the discussion seems, to me, to strengthen the argument that our gender (or sex) categorization of many sports should probably just be rethought anyways.
Hopefully this doesn’t make it seem like I’m tokenizing either intersex or transgender people, because that’s not my intent. It just seems like they both face a lot of the same discrimination in sports
i think the general response is to group intersex athletes with transgender ones – caster semenya has been treated pretty disgustingly
