I don't see the need to create and articulate a universalizeable moral framework to decide how I should react to a specific case in front of me. I listed rulemakers and organizers but also athletes themselves. I don't know much about the history of the olympics but I would guess the desires and probably activism of women athletes played a role.

>I don't see the need to create and articulate a universalizeable moral framework to decide how I should react to a specific case in front of me. You kinda do, otherwise your position just sounds like "why are you talking about trans athletes? You should just Trust the Experts, except when I disagree with them, then it's an Important Moral Issue that the public needs to weigh in on". >I listed rulemakers and organizers but also athletes themselves. I don't know much about the history of the olympics but I would guess the desires and probably activism of women athletes played a role. This is a very perilous position to hold, because it basically means if there's enough TERF athletes to outnumber trans women athletes (which doesn't seem too implausible, based on purely demographic factors) then it's okay to exclude them.

  To your last point, most women don't want men in their sports, but have been pressured to go along with it. It is okay to exclude men from women's sports because women have the right to sex-specific spaces.
