Do you believe that men who have successfully transitioned should be allowed to compete in women’s sports? Let’s not attack each other and just give our opinion and give educated, civil answers

Here is an article that discusses trans-atheletes in NCAA collegiate athletics. The article is from July 2022 so maybe it is a little outdated, but it says that there are a total of just 32 trans athletes competing in NCAA events. Again, I contend that this is a real but RARE problem. It should be addressed (and it is being addressed, albeit not to everyone’s satisfaction; see article). But it’s a RARE problem, and my opinion is that it really shouldn’t dominate the discussions surrounding trans rights.

People always rush to say how RARE this problem is. Serial killers are also pretty rare, so what? There are women who worked their butts off chasing a dream and right on the cusp of achieving it a mediocre male athletic decides they were really a woman the whole time and comes in and destroys those dreams. If that happens even once it’s too much.
Women’s league is a restricted league so only biological females should be competing there. “Men’s league” is actually just an open league, you can be a biological female and compete there if you’re good enough. Trans people can compete there without issue.
As for people who want to make this about rights: being part of a restricted league is no kind of right. If you’re going to go that route then why don’t we just go all the way and force sports teams to take overweight, out of shape people too? Wouldn’t they have those same rights?
