I honestly don't have a problem with trans in sports if they're given a proper handicap and are on a proper cycling regimen of hormones for enough years for their muscle metabolism to change.

Trans was man? Do they have way more reach? Is this a sport where that's an advantage? Handicap.

Are their muscles still metabolizing carbohydrates the way a man's does even years later? Don't put them against a woman. Put them against other trans or something.

Woman wants to box a man? You need to either win decisively from the very start or not get hit until he tires himself out and often also deal with greater reach. Thats legitimately, profoundly, difficult.

Build your divisions and scoring system based on relative advantages. There's already things like weight classes for that very reason and no one complains about that.

But no that's too reasonable.
