Some have interpreted the move as an attack on transgender youth, and several athletes have spoken out in support of transgender students.

Trans athletes has become a hot button issue, those who are trying to get us ban point out to trans athletes who win but totally ignore all those that lose which far outnumber those who are winning.

In a Guardian article they write,

Sports stars weigh in on row over transgender athletes

First it was Martina Navratilova. Then Paula Radcliffe and Kelly Holmes. Now, almost with every passing day, there are more voices wading into the issue of whether transgender competitors should be allowed to take part in women’s sport.

As things stand, the International Olympic Committee allows trans women to compete as long as they have been reducing their testosterone levels for 12 months. However, Fair Play for Women believes there is little science behind the IOC’s policy and says there is a “legacy effect of testosterone” that gives an unfair strength advantage even after the current level of the hormone is reduced.

Governing bodies are clearly undecided about how best to deal with the questions of gender, biology and identity that arise from the issue. Last year Hannah Mouncey, a former member of the Australian men’s handball team, was blocked from playing in Aussie rules football’s professional women’s league on the grounds of strength and physique.

On Sunday, Navratilova, who had a trans coach, apologised for saying a fortnight ago that trans athletes were cheating. “I’m sorry for that because I certainly was not suggesting that transgender athletes in general are cheats,” she said. “I attached the label to a notional case in which someone cynically changes gender, perhaps temporarily, to gain a competitive advantage. We should not be blind to the possibility and some of these rules are making that possible and legal.”

It is always  these hypothetical  questions of “what if” cases the opposition always brings up… “What if a boy dresses as a girl so they can get on a girls team?” Which by the way has never happened, what boy is going to dress and live as girl just to get an athletic scholarship.

If they pass a rule that you have to play in the league of your birth gender they will be allowing trans men to play on women’s teams. It is just like when they try to force us to use the bathroom of our gender assigned at birth then you will be seeing men in the women’s bathroom because these conservatives totally ignore trans men.

So why don’t they just allow us to play on the team of our gender identity as long as we have been on Cross Gender Hormones or blocker for at least 2 years after Tanner Stage 2.
