A lot of confusion seems to stem from people thinking that allowing transwomen means a lot of men would just sign up into women’s sports. Which of course is a not a very good take if you know anything about transitioning (and in money making levels you wouldn’t be allowed into women’s sports without being on hormones likely for years anyway) and it’s effects on the body. Even without talking about dysphoria, you can’t just go forwards and backwards with transitioning without having some major physical consequences

Fun fact, Ben Shapiro tried to make a documentary about men competing in women’s basketball but they found out that you can’t actually just do that and they were unable to find men who were willing to undergo HRT for it (surprise). Which is incredibly funny because it completely disproves all the stupid shit he and people like him have been saying.
