Even when a poster above (ughh) fundamentally agrees with them, that poster gets shouted down and downvoted because they weren't sufficiently hateful in their opinion.
It's so gross. There's just absolutely no sympathy or understanding. They just imagine someone sitting in their dorm room, laughing, rubbing their hands together like an evil cartoon villain.
I think you're right -- none of the posters who are particularly hateful ever met a transgender person. They've never talked to one, never considered the amount of stigmatization they feel just existing, let alone competing in a sport.
Let them exist. But don't force 99% of female athletes to compete against 1% (or less) with an inherent biological advantage. Their "existence" shouldn't rely a biological male compete against biological females (xy vs xx, remember?). Why do you think women's sports were separated in the first place? Why do you think men's world records are faster than women's? It's certainly not because of a lack of effort from women.
