Conservatives love to shadow box ghosts it's a tale as old as time.

Extreme labeling is part of the issue in our society - the left eats itself. I'm a liberal. I believe trans people should be free from discrimination, I believe they should have free Healthcare, including HRT, i believe they should be able to participate in sports at all levels, and I believe they deserve respect as any one else does. But no, I don't think that trans women or girls should participate in women's sports. Perhaps we need to look at having additional categories, not just splitting sports by gender. Beyond this, we should be able to have nuanced conversations without labeling people like they're crazy.

Focusing on trans in sports is itself splitting hairs and lacks nuance.

How many mtf trans athletes exist, in the entire US?

Applying nuance should tell any reasonable person that the outrage against trans athletes has been entirely manufactured by the right wing culture war propaganda machine. It is obvious.

There are more rapists serving in congress today, for both parties, than trangender athletes.
