Comment on Trans women should be allowed in sports, but with strict limitations

It. Simply. Isn’t. A. Problem.
Professional womens sports aren’t dominated by trans women, and they never will be.
And no man would transition in order to dominate womens sports.
The entire debate is a straw-man for splitting women into “real” and “fake” ones, denying trans women the right to exist.

What about eg.

Good for her.
If it turns out that she has an unfair advantage, and the IPF, CPU and other powerlifting organisations feel like it’s damaging the sport, they can make a ruling on a case by case basis.
To ensure that the sport of powerlifting stays free from competitors with elevated testosterone levels (/s).
There is absolutely no reason to try and come up with a “solution” for all transgender people in all sports.

We can’t set a limit on testosterone levels, because then biological women like Caster Semenya, who naturally has high testosterone, are forced to take T blockers (This actually happened to her)
Where do you draw the line?

I don’t. There doesn’t need to be a line.
Just let the sports associations each make their rules and decide on conflicts when they come up, as they have always done.
Most of them have very lax rules because it really isn’t a problem that comes up often.
