I do not mind man doing whatever they like with their body and I honestly do not care with who you sleep or what you choose to do with your body. But I think that it is not fair that because they feel that they are women then they invade women spaces in sports etc... In my opinion men are just aggressively trying to redefine the word 'woman' to include them and so many women acquiescing is a demonstration of gender hierarchy.
I am transgender. Most trans women have no interest in playing sports. It doesn't exactly help with our gender identity.
Besides, who cares about women's sports to begin with?
Some argue that we do this just to sneak into women's private areas like showers or restrooms.
Let me say this - the most passable MTF TG have no sexual interest in women. They like men.
Those of us who are not so passable really hate such spaces because we know we are putting ourselves at risk and saying, "But I identify as a woman" won't help.
When I have to use a restroom that is not single occupancy, yes I use the women's. I get in and out as quickly and quietly as I can.
I am not there to get a cheap thrill.
I do know that transwomen have their own struggles and I also know that I won't understand those struggles because I am a biological woman. We all should understand that this comprehension should be two way. Historically women have suffered a lot, not because of what we identified to but because of our sex and we cannot and should not rewrite history by changing the definition of what a woman is.
I agree with you that women's sports are important but no one is trying to change the definition of women, I'm not good at explaining stuff that well, you also mentioned jk Rowlings tweets and essay, I am going to leave a link to a video which addresses her essay, they set everything out clearly, they have timestamps if you want to watch specific sections. They have also added all sources possible, even if it doesn't change your mind I would heavily suggest that you watch the video anyway as you might at least learn about some of the arguments people have against this point of view. Anyway here's the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F8KBz6EqtQY If anyone on either side of the argument notices something wrong or badly phrased in this comment please reply so I can either change it or add another comment explaining better. :)
Yeah but we seperate womens and men sports for a reason. Being trans doesnt make you the other gender magically. Men are stronger than females. Females are stronger with testasterone but causes infertility. So the stock woman is still weaker than the trans male.
Either way I want female sports to keep being female. Trans can have their own division plus anyone else who takes drugs.
What are your thoughts on transgenderism?

I will admit that a MTF TG still would have physical advantages
