9. What bullshit

If there was a genetic or natal condition that “allegedly” gave a group of cis women an advantage I truly doubt they ban them.

I would imagine they would investigate the “advantage” until it is proven and to what degree. Then they would probably see how much it impacts the sport and would issue out various ways for everyone to compete and compete on a level playing field. Handicaps or time adjustments or whatever else.

When it comes to trans people it is ban first and ask questions later.

It isn’t about what is fair, it is about denying trans people their identity and normalizing that cruelty.
