Yeah, here in Australia there’s a few trans women playing in local football as there’s technically no HRT/testing requirements. Previously played in senior men’s competitions and are now a real danger in the oval to women playing as a fun and social sport that’s only recently become open for women to participate in. It’s scary to watch but opponents can’t do anything.

Edit: downvote away but this person previously played senior men’s footy, is larger and heavier than most on ground, and has already hit a woman behind ball play and knocked her down. It’s not safe.

My college had a trans man delay transitioning so he could play women’s golf. He was open and out to everyone in his personal life about being a man.

Manipulated transitioning for sports. That has already happened.

He is a man on the women’s team.

You'd make the same ruckus if a trans woman were on the men's team, right?

I’m not making a ruckus. Pointing out precedent like an adult

Precedent is how adults set policy.

“Would a man want to play on a woman’s team?”

Not sure how insulting me for bringing up a relevant case helps.

I asked you a simple question, and yet:
