Again, if you've had the conversation and want to talk about something else, go talk about something else instead of shaming people for talking about a subject that interests them, even if only passingly.
I'm not surprised, personally.
Some people feel uncomfortable when they are faced with a conflict between what they know is common sense logic, and their politically correct narrative. And instead of just choosing to stay out of it, they comment only to make the old "why are we talking about this when there are starving children in Africa" argument.

In the case of male to female transsexuals, they are genetically still male, and have male anatomy (bone structure, size, etc). Males are physically stronger than women in general, which is why we don't have men compete against women. This seems like how we should handle transsexuals competing in order to keep things fair.

It's really not that complicated of an issue. All it takes is being intellectually honest and objective, rather than trying to take the far left, "politically correct" approach to everything.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
