female athletes are much more vulnerable to certain kinds of injuries like concussions than males in sports

Considering how many men injure and kill themselves due to their far-too aggressive sports (and other things, i.e. military training), I find it a bit of a double standard when people show disproportionate concern specifically for women facing risks of injury.

Also, allowing trans-identified females into male sports & intimate spaces would create minefields in other ways. Trans-identified females who consider themselves to be gay men are bound to get pissed off that the boys/men they crush on don't want to have sex with them, so they're bound to hurl accusations of homophobia & transphobia - & some might behave in ways that are sexually inappropriate & boundary-transgressing.

You can say literally the same thing about gay men.

& some will probably say they've been coerced, raped & or sexually assaulted in other ways.

What is this "false rape accusations" fearmongering?

Another exception theoretically could be for males who've lost a testicle to cancer.

I thought losing one testicle didn't affect testosterone?
