OK, I agree that there's a small percentage of population for whom the binary distinction for make and female fails. I believe that any adult person should be able to do whatever they want to their body, so their transition is they business (and their doctor's). I even agree that just to be civilized, we should call these people with whatever names and pronouns they are comfortable with – it costs nothing to me, and supposedly, it's important for them, so why not.
But is it fair to allow a person with a make level of testosterone and muscles to compete in a category that was created specifically for women?

I'm saying this because it's deeply depressing, as normally I put extreme value in HN as perhaps the only place left I can see a group of thoughts where the majority are sane.
