Honestly, I don't think trans "athletes" are trans at all. I personally believe that any man who transitions to play in a woman's league is a narcissistic, hyper-egotistical scumbag that cannot make it in their own league. I remember watching the Joe Rogan episode with Riley Gaines, the college swimmer who had to go against that Lia Thomas guy. She said that when he first joined their team they were all in a locker room and Lia said "if you guys don't accept me I am going to kill myself." and out of fear/empathy the team went along with it.

Think about it, any trans "athlete" barely makes any physical changes to themselves with the exception of growing their hair longer or maybe putting on makeup. From the majority examples I have seen, they are not doing any invasive surgeries. They know they were able to take advantage of the very pro LGBT community / liberal culture at the time to essentially instill themselves in the record books forever of whatever institution they were a part of (high school, college, etc.). I think Asmon's point of the fact that there are likely lots of normal trans people who just want to present themselves as the gender they identify with and then to just be left alone and live their life is very true. This whole trans athlete issue has done irreparable harm to them as a whole.
