My trans son doesn't think sports are a big deal - doping is already disallowed so he couldn't compete on either the boys or girls teams in soccer at high school, wanted to play but it's not anything he thought a big issue - more like if he wanted to play that bad, would have waited to do T and "tomboy" his way onto the girls team, and did end up having to wait until 18 anyway, the laws changed.
And almost no people are good enough at sports to be pro. And not a large proportion of the population is trans, the intersection of those two has to be vanishingly small.
Is it legal for a very short athletic woman to have her kids with a short athletic guy to advantage them in gymnastics? Is it legal for me to have my kids with a very tall athletic guy because it will advantage them in volleyball? There is just SO much intra-sex variation I don't understand why it matters but mostly just wanted to say the actual trans people I personally know don't give a fuck about being able to be on a gendered sports team.
