Who’s pretending? I’ve already acknowledged that there are cases where this could potentially be a real issue, but I don’t for a second think the right’s real concern is the sanctity of women’s sports, or that they’re trying to maintain some kind of rational perspective on the actual number of players this effects or the actual threats posed.
Perhaps my favorite example was a small Christian school in, I want to say rural Kentucky, withdrawing from the girls basketball league over the danger supposedly posed by another school’s trans player, when a quick look over the school’s website showed that their soccer team was coed.
