    The thing is, the people I am not hearing make these complaints are the avid watchers of women’s sports. Just mostly a lot of white knights who think that precious flowers need special protection they haven’t asked for.

    This especially came to a head with Imane Khelif, who is a cis woman, where people were suggesting that women in a sport where you try to punch each other into unconsciousness need to be protected. It’s ludicrous.

      I’m not sure anyone here is saying “women need protection!”. I was asking about the fairness of sport and if a trans athlete has an inherent biological advantage over another athlete.

        You didn’t ask anything. You made a declaration.
