I have qualms and questions just as much as the next person, but I always wondered why most guys even care about trans women breaking records in sports. It's not like women's sports are viewed as widely as male sports. I'm willing to bet you, most guys don't even care about women's sports to such a fervent degree. All in all, I'd chalk this up to a woman's issue. If Trans-women in sports becomes a large enough problem. Cis-women will begin voicing their concerns, but it can't be just one or two. It'd probably take a larger movement.
The interesting thing will be if trans-women become integrated in women's sports as a common thing, will it be seen as wrong to revert these changes depending on how far that progress has gone? People normally don't really jive with putting the cat back into the box.
It's one thing to not like trans people/LGBTQ since it's "in your face" especially online. It's another to guise not liking trans-people as some concern for women's sports. I'm going to stake the claim that most people don't care and they just want to use this as a focal point to "safely" put forth their rhetoric.
My biggest thing about the lack of good faith discussion on both sides is that. If Trans-Women are "taking" these spaces and opportunities from biological women. Would this not empower TERFS and TERF-based arguments more?
