They are. Transgenderism has decades of research backing it and the right has just unilaterally decided that it’s wrong. They didn’t do this based on any sort of real research but rather empty appeals to nature and essentialism.

Sports bans were not put in place because of a prevalence of trans athletes beating cis athletes.



Gender affirming care is unsupported by evidence, so it is inaccurate to say "unilaterally".

Trans woman tend to dominate their sports. There are so many examples of this. We don't need to have opinions on this: just use the evidence.

It is supported by evidence -- plenty of research around outcomes and comparisons to the alternative. The right wing does not engage with that evidence. Your denial of this is exactly an example of "unilaterally" denying it.

There aren't, actually. You say there's so many examples but I have failed to see any of them. They tend to dig up examples where trans women just manage to place at all, usually in lower ranks. Hardly an example of domination, and even if it was its an anecdote and not statistical. In fact, the right was so desperate for examples that they leapt to conclusions at the Olympics and claimed that a cis woman was trans.
