On one hand you don’t want to exclude trans female athletes. On the other hand, what happens years from now if trans female athletes have shattered all the biological female records and make up a majority of our female college scholarships or Olympic athletes? Do we just tell the biological females tough luck and to deal with it, especially since they are at a physical disadvantage through no fault of their own?

The main reason female sports were created and have thrived is because it gives them an equal playing field and now that is being taken away.
