Sounds like her teammates feel the may most of the level headed thinkers feel in this country. We respect your freedom to identify how you feel, but there is a glaring competitive unfairness that can’t be ignored when it comes to sport.
The fact that they always try and push away from this reality is mind numbing. Not the fear mongering locker room situations, not the shared bathrooms. Most of us only care about the competitive fairness.
You and others like you might not care about the locker room situations and shared bathrooms. But most women and girls do care.
Most girls and women really are not comfortable with having to deal with our intimate bodily needs or get undressed and shower with adolescent boys and grown men looking on or listening in, even if those men and boys say they "identify" as the opposite sex like Lia Thomas does and dress, wear their hair and "present" in a supposedly "feminine" style.
Nor do most girls and women want to have to see dicks and balls when we're changing or showering, or deal with the piss that guys tend to leave all over the toilet seats and stall floors in restrooms outside the home. Or with the other bodily fluids some fellas like to leave in shared loos, particularly ones they know will be used by girls and women.
Most women and girls also don't want to have to share intimate spaces with men and teenage boys no matter how those blokes "identify" in places like shelters, workplace or school lactation rooms, hospitals, prisons, barracks, nursing homes, domestic violence refuges and rape crisis centers, either.
Many men care about the situations in locker rooms, restrooms, changing rooms, showers, saunas, etc too because they believe girls and women have a right to to privacy, safety, dignity, comfort, convenience and peace of mind when using those sorts of facilities outside the home.
