"Trans women are women" is simply just not a valid argument when it comes to sports, because there are different sub groupings of women, and the activists I think know that they are using manipulative language here to try and prove their point. It's irrelevant that trans women are women when it comes to sports, because women's sports were not created because of anything to do with identity or gender, but rather sex.
So trans women and sports are what worry you.
The thing with sports is that sports have never been fair. Like take ageism - you have to be young to compete in sports. Then look at physiques - tall people are pretty much the only ones who can play basketball. Big strong guys play football. People with long legs are best at running. People with bigger feet are better at swimming. And majority of people are disqualified from the start from ever being in professional sports just because of their physique which is normal.
And money also plays a big role since the richer some sports club is, the better players they can buy and outcompete others. So you'll never see some small-town basketball club competing with like Lakers, or just a poor basketball club competing with Lakers.
And yet you don't cry about any of that although it's much more unfair.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
