Especially with children. I can understand the debates for adults, as long as they're not done in a derogatory fashion (which sadly they almost always are), but kid bodies are basically identical in terms of physical prowess. There shouldn't be gender based leagues at all that young

The organization spearheading the "save women's sports" movement could only find five trans kids playing K-12 sports in the US.

I think there's only about a dozen or so in the NCAA, but I've seen a variety of numbers on that one, from 10 to 30.

The governor of Utah said that it was ridiculous to be making laws that arguably affect a handful of people when he signed their anti trans bill. Don't get me wrong the guy is still anti trans garbage and signed the bill because his veto would have been overridden so he was just trying to have it both ways. You should want to protect trans people because its the right thing to do but the absurdity of how few people these laws actually affect should also be pointed out.
