(Title IX did not show up until 1972 to give young women equal opportunities in sports. There would have been quite a few talented women my age who could have gone to college on a sports scholarship but were born a little too early and missed their chances.)
I realize my declared social acceptance of transgender people horrifies some around here who like to gear up to gang up, but my opinion on this is separate from that.

With all do respect, this is exactly the problem. It appears to be dismissive and I emphasized in quotes your statement indicating that young women can wrestle with this urgent situation if they want and they will be sweet and kind while doing so.
ALL women should be standing up with these biological females to reverse this ridiculous decision that biological men can participate in women’s sports. This discussion isn’t about transgender acceptance, it’s about the shady overtaking of women’s athletics and rewards to which THEY are entitled. To me, the hairstyle remark at the end more or less stated this inequity isn’t all that important.
I don’t care who or how people mutilate their bodies, more power to them. But when a dismantling of a biological woman’s rights occurs, women ALL need to stand up and secure her rights.
