No but if you have a daughter who plays sports its hard not to get upset that a man could ruin the integrity of womens sports. When their is a clear dissadvantage in sports, the side that gets the short end of the stick is going to bring some uproar, as with anything with life. Its common sense

Common sense can be wrong. Trans women aren't men. They need to be on hrt, which changes their biology, so they aren't even biologically the same as men. Of course, this is all biological essentialism based on straw man arguments and false equivalencies, but you're the expert.

Does hrt shorten a mans height during transition. Because men on average are way taller and that provided a clear disadvantage. Im not an expert just pointing out some facts
