Given that this discussion has more than 500 comments at this point it's probably a little too late for this, but I suggest that as the HN community we check ourselves before we wreck ourselves. We are by and large a collection of cisgendered privileged white nerds who for the most part don't go to the gym, let alone compete in sports at the elite level. Talking about how women (cis or trans) feel about this issue is probably not our forte and given the clear transphobic undertones of about half the comments here, I think we are definitely not the domain experts here. Perhaps this is an instance where it would be wiser for this community to do more listening than talking.
