Not a bad position. I tend to agree. I think you let them participate until it becomes an issue.
I will acknowledge that it may be an issue in some circumstances, but I don't think it has been so far.

Trans women are women, so protecting the rights of trans women is protecting women's rights.
I will charitably assume you meant 'Protecting cis women...'. I have yet to hear how allowing transgender women compete harms cisgender women, outside of more competition. We don't protect athletes from competition.
They are women in there minds. Their persona is female. Their Chromosomes, bone density, hormones(unless taken exogenous hormones), gentiles, etc.. is not. Is this part of the discussion that you want to ignore? Why do reject this science?
We are talking about physical activities. Why wouldnt physical characteristics matter?
We do protect athletes. We do it all the time is numerous ways.
I can name off a bunch of examples off the top of my head. Age groups, weight classes, yes gender, skill level, abled and disabled, Steroids, etc.. How do you completely gloss over those glaring facts?
You think that while a Transgender person feels like the gender they identify as that they are actually wrong. That they are not honestly the gender they identify as. That's giving you the benefit of the doubt. I have you on ignore and only because of OBs responses did I want to see what he was responding to. So I have hardly read anything you've written in this or any other thread. As per usual, it's trash, so I feel no need to go further. You make predictable arguments that do not challenge my current understanding of this or any other topic. I have no need to swat down your arguments because I engage in these types of discussions not to "win" but to learn and grow. I do not believe you share that goal, nor that you engage in these exchanges honestly and with honor and respect. So it may be some months before I read another one of your posts.There is difference between believing the transgender person feels a certain way and believing what scientific facts say. Of course I believe these people believe what they are saying. I wouldn't l have any other reason to believe otherwise. Why would they go through all of it if they didn't? The question is about facts. The facts are males and females have different chromosomes and body parts. What the transgender person believes makes no difference. It has no impact on the facts.
Im not even sure I understand what you are even trying to say with this statement "people who clearly do not believe in the honesty of transgender identity" Who's or what honesty are you talking about?
The actual science is that that sex and gender are multifarious, possessing of different degrees and complexly interlocking, and there there is no scientific reason for saying a person born with male genitalia must be a man. Now, if you really want to get into the science, we can do that dance, but it doesn't support you.
When there's a height limit on NBA players, to protect the smaller players, then talk to me about how we limit physical characteristics.
We protect athletes from injury, from destitution (pensions), from the owner's power (unions), from unfair play by their opponents (referees), etc. We don't protect athletes from competition.
I wasn't aware they had steroid classes of competition.
Last I heard, fighters were allowed to move up or down in weight classes.
Let me be clear: you are arguing for a hateful position, and doing so in a loathsome fashion. Among other things, you took a person's story of pain and tried to weaponize it against others like to person. This is not mere trollery. This is despicable, you have been awful, and every time you post in this thread, you make yourself look more and more terrible.

Until then, have a nice life, or whatever other kind of life. I don't really care.
How would I have a hangover right now? I haven't even gone to bed yet.I could give a **** less if you are ignoring me. You are like a child. Take you ball and go home baby.
Hope that hangover is kicking your *** right now.
