Even in sports, more cis women than cis men feel that trans women should be allowed to compete in women’s sports.

But many of the "cis women" who feel that way have never played sports themselves and do not even follow sports. Many are very young with extremely limited life experience and little knowledge of areas like biology, sports performance and the history of sports and sports policy like you. Others are sex denialists intent on pretending there are no differences, or no appreciable differences, in the anatomy and physiology of human males and females that have any bearing on sports performance. Still others are dick panderers or women with such low self-esteem that they believe that when push comes to shove, girls and women should be forced to forfeit fairness and safety in women's sports in order to kowtow to the demands, cater to the feelings and protect the fragile, deluded self-images of cocky, intrusive males like Lia Thomas, Laurel Hubbard, Ragehell McKinnon, Fallon Fox, Andraya Yearwood, Terry Miller, Stephanie Barrett, June Eastwood and all the rest.

Women who actually do competitive sports, or participated in sports in the past, tend to be overwhelmingly against the inclusion of males in women's sports.

More than 90 per cent of the women’s professional cycling peloton are opposed to racing against transgender women, according to a survey by a leading riders’ union. The Cyclistes Professionnels Associes represents men’s and women’s riders and had canvassed the views of its female members earlier this year before making representations to the sport’s governing body, the UCI, which now intends to review its rules on [male] trans competitors.

“The CPA women ran a survey a few months ago and over 92 per cent did not agree with [male] trans athletes racing in the women’s peloton,” said Marion Clignet, the triple world champion who is part of a group which wrote to the UCI last week calling for its guidance to be rescinded.
