Ah yes, being male means that you are always better at all sports than female sportspeople. The mark of maleness is so strong that even after you are no longer male, the maleness lingers and makes you powerful enough to have an unfair advantage and beat all the women. /s

No transperson kept your niece from winning, did they? It's a boogeyman waved before you to justify making people feel excluded from society because they challenge gender norms.

If a transwoman ever beats my daughter at sport....I'll be proud of the team for being inclusive. If a transwoman outperforms my daughter and obtains a scholarship ahead of her.....I'll ask why scholarships have to pay for her education.

Society is at fault here, not transwomen.
