I understand transgenderism to be a psychological/neurological condition, and have atheist friends who are such, some who even have told me they themselves recognise it as a condition, and have stated to me "it's not normal" and refuse to have children because they believe it unethical to potentially pass it on, despite knowing/feeling they have been born in such a condition.
I myself thus, have nothing against people who are trans, in terms of the genuine medical case (so-called "gender studies" trans 'ideology', is another matter) and on top of that, their personal lives are not my business, I tend to just "Live and Let Live".
However, I voted "keep women's sports, but ban trans players", for the sake of the biological fairness to the naturally female players.
Most people are aware that male physical bodies, for the most part, have advantages over female, and trans-women (men who "become" women) have been dominating several women's sports because of their physical advantages, and I don't think that's fair. Not even from a religious perspective, but just ethically, even if I was an atheist, I'd say as such.
At the end of the day, I feel for a person who might have gender dysphoria, it must be a terribly mentally debilitating and stressful condition to feel like your body doesn't belong to your conscious mind/inner identity, but, they are not genuinely or authentically the opposite sex, just because they have surgery to chop off a few body parts, just as much as a child is not an adult even if you surgically attached adult sized legs, arms and genitalia to them. You suddenly wouldn't declare that child mature for legal sex or could be recognised legally as an adult to drink, smoke or have a driver's licence.
What we are is 'intrinsically' wholistic, and those with dysphoria, obviously are experiencing some kind of delusion or mental imbalance. I've 'personally' noted, and so are many medical studies confirming now, that most if not all trans/non-binary/dysphoric people, are also on the spectrum of neurodiversity, such as Autism Spectrum, ADHD, Bipolar, Multiple-personality, Schizophrenia, and alike.
Hence, "normalising" that kind of thinking (ie; teaching children gender is a social construct in schools, and telling them to 'choose their gender' and that there is no such thing as "physical sex" and "differences between the sexes" but only "internal identity") only promotes unnatural and boardline delusional thinking, where reality is no longer concrete, but is whatever a person's mind declares it to be. And that's a dangerous ideology to put into children's (or anyone's) heads, because it won't just stop at identity, but will have knock on moral and ethical effects, where everything becomes absolute relativism on the basis of pure emotion or imagination. A form of atheistic gnosticism if you will, rejection of the body and the tangible reality, in promotion of the "inner gnosis" so-called.
It's all a form of modernised hermetism and pagan metaphysics essentially.
When you totally displace/replace the real for the imagined, all distinction becomes meaningless, and even the rights or recognition of transgenderism becomes moot, because if everything is of the imagination and not based upon the physical realities so intertwined that our minds have to adhere to and recognise, then how can transgenderism be affirmed by denying gender/sex is a concrete reality with distinction between the sexes? If there is no real sex/gender distinction but only the inner self (as such ideologies are trying to propose as to try and "affirm" the approval of trans people in sports intended of the opposite sex) then there really are no real men or women in reality as a whole, which destroys the entire concept of transgenderism at its core, making even surgery for change moot.
So I say, do I 'love' trans people? Yes 100%. But do I recognise them as 'real' "men/women" (respectively), or that they should be officially recognised as such in all legal respects? No, I recognise it as a mental condition causing some kind of body-mind disconnect/delusion - of which I feel great pity and sympathy toward.
