The left's response to women's sports being co-opted is hilarious. It's like a self-parody.

"Who cares about sports anyway? Competition is dumb. Sports should only exist to validate someone's identity, and if they hurt or take opportunities from actual athletes, it's funny."

I have a modicum more respect for the people arguing along those lines than the ones just going "Well they haven't broken any rules have they? If da rulez allow it, what's the issue?". The first group are just morons, there's not much helping that. The second are spineless, who know it's wrong, but are leaning on established rulings to not have to speak up

I've been called all sorts of names by them for being a woman that did sports and wants girls to have that same opportunity. Wild to be accused of not caring about a sport that I did for over a decade. Considering mine is a contact sport I have very good reasons for not wanting men to compete.

Even Training with them as a teen there was just a huge difference. Imagine getting thrown around by a teen boy who is shocked because he didn't realise it'd be that easy. Don't have anything against it, it can be valuable practise but as soon as it's an actual competition women will have very little chance against someone with the same level of ability.

This of course is obvious to anyone who has ever physically used their body, which makes it even funnier when some terminally online pizzagoblin who gets a coronary going up stairs goes "there's literally no difference!"
