Before, the rules have always come from each sport’s individual federations.  But, now because conservatives have to be outraged about everything politicians are getting involved. Transgender women participating in sports is still extremely rare though by right wing news coverage you would think it is commonplace.  Shoot it was just a year or so that they were all up in arms about Megan Rapino and all her lesbian friends thinking they were equal to men.  Let sports organizations set their own rules for participation.  Keep politicians out of it

Just like CRT, drag queen groomers, and pornography in school libraries this is a manufactured crisis by right wing provocateurs designed solely to gin up the MAGA base,

And Brad there are not hoards of pretend disabled people standing in line “stealing” the resources you think you deserve…unless you are talking about parking places.

I do recall lesbians and/or overly masculine yet biological women being in women's sports was a talking point decades ago.   Martina Navratalova was cited as being a bit of an unfair opponent for Chris Evert, for example.  Chris was at least seen as the attractive feminime underdog. 

It had more than a bit of a "this may be legal but it ain't fair, damn it" vibe about it.
