   The bottom line:

   The issue of trans girls and women in sports is not really about safety or fairness. It's actually about cis people's prejudice surrounding sexist gender stereotypes and trans girls and women.

   It's about an intractable belief that "men and women are just different," existing as two almost separate species that are forever separated by specific bodies of behaviors and potentialities.

     This is about the patriarchal belief that female and male are immutable halves of humanity who belong in a very specific social structure and that anything that violates that structure is a threat to society as a whole.

     THAT is what this is about, in its deepest roots.
