MY favourite is the one that says all TW have puberty blockers so never have male puberty.

Which gives an idea of how little people understand about how gender dysphoria is treated in the real world.

95% plus of them have gone through male puberty.

Exactly. And I think that's right. We're playing dangerous games when we attempt to rewire a kid's body. We need trans people - for I believe they exist - to have a healthy stab at life.

The sports question is the tough one for you cannot deny your body when doing physical things. If they don't want a trans league then maybe a mixed gender league will suffice? (All prizes will go to cis men but at least nobody is being discriminated against on the grounds of identity!)

It really doesn't seem tough to me. If you have a male body, compete against males. If you can't win, maybe you can accept that and just not be a competitive athlete. Or, you can start a separate league for trans people or intramural or some other category you belong to. But there is NO reason to try to get into the women's leagues when you don't have a female body!
