I mean you’re right, but even given that, the media still just gets it wrong, often deliberately so, because misinformation is the political goal of many folk involved in the “conversation”
All other things being equal people are gonna pick the fight they think they can win. In the US if you’re taking on the rich and powerful you’re taking on one of the largest standing armies in human history, the police. If you’re taking on trans people you’re taking on a tiny minority that’s loathed by a large percentage of the population.
No it isn’t. There is not a single sport in which trans people have been shown to consistently have advantage, let alone advantage significant enough to make meaningful competition impossible. Trans folk hold no world records, very few national records, and are under-represented in sports compared to how many trans people there are in society. On top of all of that, when trans folk do participate, on average, they under perform compared to their cis peers.
There is nothing complicated about it, just a lot of deliberate misinformation
Trans people in sports
Or anything to do with trans people at all
Heavily politicised issue though. Imo, the whole trans issue should’ve never been politicised.

I swear these people will let the rich steal their food and housing while they look the other way and blame the nearest minority for their problems

I’ve been on Internet too long that I still don’t know which side you stand on. And that’s exactly the issue.
This is a very complicated problem. Not as straightforward as either side thinks.

It was politicized because the right is running out of people they can acceptably hate.
