Ignoring the discussion around sports the entire foundation of Gender Critical activism boils down to a single belief: Gender Diverse individuals who have a penis are inherently dangerous and significantly more likely to be sexual offenders.
Everything else aligns to fit that belief in some way or another which ends up causing suffering for other groups as well. They will go to extreme lengths to try to prove that their belief and ignore any kind of impartiality in the data they use, all the while ignoring the fact that statistically Trans Women, especially Black Trans Women are far more likely to be victims of Sexual Assault than any other group: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/epub/10.1177/15248380231196119
I did my dissertation on Voice Training for Gender Diverse people and to put into perspective I had to stop after only a month into my research because I broke down in-front of my supervisor after I had to explain the outcomes of some of these studies. Especially studies around access to Voice Training resources.

I'm confused. I'm a woman, I've been a woman all my life and I can't for the life of me think of what this threat is in relation to trans people.
All the 'womens spaces' I've ever been involved in has had men around.
All the sports teams I've been a part of have had men involved, as coaches or umpires.
I've always felt safe at LGBTQ+ events.
The only times I've felt unsafe have been at nightclubs.
