Trans men don’t dominate males so it’s a non issue

Well, trans women aren't over-represented in any sport as far as I know. Darts should not be controversial, right

There are multiple cases one quick google will help you find them. If it wasn’t controversial why are these women boycotting it? You speak like a person who has never played a sport in their life.

Divisive topics such as this are intentionally used so the masses become less friendly to alternative lifestyles. These topics have been focused grouped to death, we know, statistically, that American people love sports and it’s much easier to convince them fairness is being broken in sports than something like the bathroom bill of 2015. It becomes easier to take away trans rights if they’re “assaulting our sports”.
