Instead of taking their lumps

Not to highjack your comment, but this is something I've thought too, but not necessarily exclusive to sports or related to disabilities. I wouldn't give two shits about trans people if they realized that being trans was their cross to bear. I wouldn't care about trans women if they stayed in male specific spaces and didn't try to claim they were actually "women" or "female." If they accepted the possible stares or jeers when they went in the mens room was something they would just have to live with and get over if they wanted to transition, they would be fine. Instead they want to live their fetish AND put women in more danger by doing so. Which obviously earns them a lot more contempt and pushback than if they were going about things the other way.

Life's not fair and life sucks for a lot of people for a lot of reasons. Trans people are making it even harder for us to accept them by INSISTING that the whole of society drastically re-arrange and redefine itself so they don't have to bear the slightest hit to their ego/ emotions, while they get EVERYTHING THEY WANT as well! Fuck off with that!

Like, I'm a fucking fatass covered in stretch marks. If I had the gnawing desire to wear a bikini to the beach I would HAVE to accept the fact that some people would laugh at me or think my body is disgusting, and I would HAVE to learn to let it roll off my back and ignore those people if I still insisted on wearing the bikini. It would be a lot easier and more emotionally mature than yelling "fatphobia!" and fighting every single person who snickered behind my back. But most trans people aren't really willing to live with the drawbacks of "being their authentic selves." They're the type who would pick a fight with every damn person on the beach to prove a point, and then insist they were justified. The worst ones can't even accept the fact that some people won't want to date/ have sex with them after transition!
