       There are no "legitimate concerns" about trans people.Trans people in sport are not significantly out performing their cis counterparts. Trans people have been using public toilets for years without incident. Detransition is extremely rare & the most common reason for it is because of societal transphobia. Hip replacements have a greater rate of regret than trans supportive healthcare.Puberty blockers carry no more significant risk of side effects than plenty of other medications given to children. We still give them those medications because we recognise their benefits & potential to save lives.You don't have "legitimate concerns", you're looking for excuses to perpetuate your bias against trans people.

       I'm just going to say this once for the people still wanting to push the "unfair advantage in sports" narrative. All types of cis athletes have "unfair advantages" due to their genetics. Tall basketball players, swimmers with big feet, people who can more easily put on muscle mass, the list goes on. You aren't complaining about their "unfair advantage" & moreover, you aren't seeing it translate to where trans women are dominating in sports where they are allowed to compete. You can point to some trans athletes doing well here and there, but it's still overwhelmingly cis women who are at the top of those divisions. Moreover, even people with physical advantages like being tall etc aren't guaranteed victory. It takes technique, skill, experience, mental preparedness, the list goes on.Once again, you aren't being motivated by fairness, you're being motivated by transmisogyny. End of story. There's literally no point arguing endlessly over the specifics when that's so clearly the motivation. Die mad about it.

       @firetotheprisons Ultimately, each sport will need to figure out what specific physical traits make an advantage in that sport and use classes not based on gender but based on those traits.  So like boxing and wrestling already use weight classes, some may use leg length,  muscle mass to height ratio, size of hands or feet,  height, or whatever.
