Not one person is being 'mean' to trans people, including Sophie. The desire to protect women's sports isn't being mean to men who want to dress up like women. It's respecting women enough to protect their right to play competitive sports.

Also, protecting women's sports has nothing to do with the feelings of men. It's not about respecting their feelings. It's about women. It's ok to center women sometimes. If men who dress up like women don't like that, cry about it.

This is so silly. Not one woman has been dehumanizing to the trans community. Telling them no is a boundary. It's fine.

These people are utterly exhausting. It doesn't harm a trans person to say they can't participate in women's sports. If they want to be an athlete, they have the option of participating with their biological sex. They don't because they aren't good enough. Let's be clear.
