Why were women's sports created in the first place? Was it due to sex, or identification?
If it's in the rules that trans women can compete, then fine, let them compete. They are not monsters for competing. I'm advocating for those rules to change though, and who I'm criticizing is not necessarily the athletes themselves, but the rule makers and the activists. Just because there are rules allowing trans to compete, that doesn't make it right. Slavery was also legally allowed at one point in time, so an appeal to the law or official rules doesn't mean much, really. Competing in college sports or pro sports should be a privilege that is earned, not a right that is given out to whomever.
It basically comes down to this, as this transgender law center puts it; One reason: Sporting events are zero-sum competitions in which only one individual or team can win, meaning that “people resist and dismiss our calls for sports policies that benefit our collective good, the core of a Race Class Gender Narrative.”

The trans activists basically admit here that their goal is the common good, which we should all care about obviously, but they are willing to put the totality of the "common good" over the competitiveness and fairness of sports. They're willing to sacrifice women's sports for the common good, but are not first willing to ask cis women if that's ok with them. The overwhelming majority of people are not willing to say that cis women should have to make that sacrifice though and this issue is a big loser., and this does not make people who think women's sports should be cis women's sports bad people, because you're pitting one group against another (yes, trans women are women, but a different kind of woman, otherwise there would be no need for the existence of the word trans in the first place as a category of woman. Trans woman is a sub category under woman), and forcing them to either throw cis women under the bus or trans women under the bus, and calling them Nazis when they don't make the call you would have made. People are just in a tough spot because you have to throw one group under the bus no matter what.
