No one said that.

I do think a male athlete has some horomonal, bone structure, limb length and muscle mass advantages over born-female athletes in many sports, and that while time and horomone therapy do decrease that advantage for a trans female, its still there to some degree afterward, which probably makes sports in the female category for trans women unequal. Athleticism means a lot to a lot of people. for some people its a deep part of their identity, just like gender is. Is that peice of these womens identity not worth cherishing? Is it something for you to dictate terms about? I dont think it is.

Its not a simple problem with any sort of simple solution. It seems that with the choices given, Either we make a new athletic category, or some group of people live with an unfairness of one sort or another. And the sooner its figured out, ,the sooner it stops being a political football. Letting it linger just serves the far right. is that what you actually want?

Why has this issue not already been sorted?

Did you glean that from data or did you just assume it must be true?
