I don't get why the discussion surrounding trans athletes should have anything to do with women. It's simply not our problem.

I was a supremely poor athlete on my high school and university teams, but I had to train like hell just to be on the team. Like all the other women on my teams, I put in hours of grueling training a day, for years.

Why should I give up my place on the team because of another person's sense of mismatch between brain and body?

Especially when that other person's body will beat mine handily no matter how many puberty blockers and hormones he's pumped into it?

There is one way to resolve this issue: transgenders play against other transgenders. If there's not enough of them, well, tough. Better their devastation than mine.

Women do not exist to wipe up men's tears.
