So you're ready to concede that Lia Thomas would not have been breaking records on the men's team and be the best in the world on the men's team, and that transitioning is an advantage? Good, because I thought we were making our way to crazy land there if you had refused to recognize the beyond obvious.
If someone really sucks as a man and can't make the men's team, but then transitions and can make the women's league, then clearly transitioning has given them an advantage. This is a trans person who does not belong in any top league. If they want to play in a lower league or just play on their off time for fun, or in a trans league when they eventually have enough players for that, then cool, but even if they are not that good and get smoked by the better cis women, that trans women is still stealing a spot away from a bio woman, and bio women 100 % should take priority over trans women, because female sports were literally created for bio women, not for people who identify as women. Identity never came into play, nor should it have ever come into play. Like Destiny says, is it cool for him to join a league playing against 10 year olds just because he's not better than every ten year old in the world, or should we say, no, this league was made for 10 year olds, so no Destiny, we're not going to let you join the team, because that's ridiculous.
