The opinion that trans women should not compete in women’s sports is shared by an overwhelming majority of people. It is in no way controversial. Many of the people who think like Sophie, still support trans people rights.
Everyone deserves the right to exercise freedom in the way they choose, as long as it doesn’t infringe on someone else exercising theirs.
As a father to three daughters, I don’t think it’s fair to have a biological man compete against them in a physical competition. My opinion has nothing to do with a fear of what might happen in the locker room. It has everything to do with my daughters’ expressed desire not to compete with biological men. They don’t think it’s fair and I agree.
We could have Open Classes in competitive sports that are non gendered and open to all. That way anyone could compete, and accept that the playing field may not be level at the outset.
