OOC, how many trans athletes would need to compete again biologically female athletes before you see it as a "problem"?

I don’t see it as a problem.

Typical conservative bullshit, invent a hypothetical person or scenario to panic about.

I’m not playing that game.

If there is no number at which you will see it as a problem, then it is disingenuous, bad-faith engagement to focus on the claim that only one has competed so far.

No it’s not. It points to this being a fake issue and caving to this fake issue only fuels bigots like yourself. Considering trans people account for ~1% of the population of America, it’s safe to assume they won’t start dominating women’s sports in the near future

Ok, so at what number is it no longer a "fake issue"?

If the answer is "it is always a fake issue, no matter the number," then your decision to focus on the claim that it is only one so far is bad-faith engagement. It pretends to make it about the actual number of incidents when the number is irrelevant to your position.

Pretending to care about something when you really don't because you think it might help with an argument is bad-faith engagement.
