It's increasingly clear to me that a big factor driving this obsession with trans athletes is men crave an excuse to imply that women's sports aren't real.
Acting like any trans woman is 5 million times faster and stronger than any cis woman is their outlet. It's so gross.

One reason I think insecure men are threatened by visibly muscular women is:
Men care first and foremost about having the respect and validation of other men.
Women are supposed to be objectified, not respected.
Muscular women attract the respect of other men, which insecure men crave.

Trans women playing against MEN??: Oof, owie, men so strong.
This is the clown world rhetoric that we continue being fed instead of "trans people are people with their own balance of hormones and muscle", easier to fearmonger I guess.
performing our gender correctly means being weak
It's a stalking horse for denying the validity of all female athletes, regardless of their background.

And I'll bet a lot of my fellow dudes would say the same.
