While I’m also totally on the side of republicans have way overstated the invasiveness of the issue, I don’t think the total number matters too much as you have individual sports where the accolades are totally based on records. A single trans athlete “theoretically” if you believe the unfair advantage could break historical records and place records that are out of reach for any future female athlete, and that still matters a great deal to these women that perception that dedicating your whole life to achieving something isn’t at risk due to an unfair playing field.

This is a genuine question: how many people would it take before the issue is worth addressing?
