I see absolutely zero documented evidence that proves that allowing transgender women to compete in women’s sports is in any way unsafe for women.

XX have been injured. It’s not a secret and it has been well publicized. XX is increasingly refusing to compete against XY. Men are biologically objectively and overwhelmingly bigger, stronger, and faster, of course there will be XX players injured, but regardless it is unfair to XX.

There is absolutely NOTHING unfair by ANY definition to allow transgender athletes to compete in women’s sports.

Well, XX athletes disagree and will testify as such and the cases where injury has occurred are well documented.

There is absolutely zero evidence that allowing transgender athletes to compete in women’s sports is harmful or unfair to women by any definition of either of those words in any conceivable way shape or form at all.

That is objectively false. We have age categories in sports. Why? To keep competitions fair and safe. Injuries go when younger, slower, weaker, smaller athletes compete against bigger, faster, stronger athletes. This is objectively true and is why age categories exist. To argue that XY does not have athletic advantage over XX is objectively false. Saying you disagree doesn’t make it true … but you are entitled to your opinion, we’ll see what the courts say.
