I really believe two things can be true here: the vast majority of trans people would willingly admit that sports is a complex issue, but we are also understandably paranoid about conceding anything because most people simply use it as a Trojan Horse for broad-scale bans/bigotry

If trans people had confidence or trust that the people in charge would ultimately uphold our rights and stand up for us, I think we’d be way more able to have nuanced discussions about practical guidelines for things like sports. but nobody has that trust, and for good reason!
