    Not really. Other than the perpetually online, a majority of people believe that trans identities in women’s sports is wrong. I don’t know how to fix that perception, but it’s a pretty common viewpoint.

    Being trans-exclusionary everywhere ELSE absolutely, you would be considered a radical.

    But before “Gender Identity” even became a thing, sports had some pretty simple rules: If you take substances to modify your body, then you’re excluded from competition.

    Unfortunately, that’s the primary basis of gender identity nowadays, so it’s a natural consequence. Notice that the problem never really even gets discussed in men’s sports (except by reactionaries) – because there being any kind of physical advantage in the male category is negligible at best.
