On this topic, I feel like "why do some people care a lot about this" is probably the question least in search of an answer.

Any chance this anti-trans lobby (the right, lobbies, whatever they are) gets to erase trans people out of public life, whether at high Olympics level or at dumb for-fun high school level, they will take it. They will always try to make it so that the would-be suffering of a non existent cis woman who got beaten by a trans woman is so so much more important than the clear discrimination that trans women (and trans men, and unconventional cis women) deal with these rulings.

If it were happening at an unprecedented level, I would totally understand the attention and such, but this is just painful to see.

The same can be applied to gender affirming care for trans youth, bathrooms, etc. It is always about the "may be hurt woman" than the actively being hurt real trans people.

Gosh I hate feeling like a second class citizen.
