Well they are already taking over “women’s” track and field it’s only a matter of time
They’re stupid. They should start separate transgender sports leagues. For both m2f and f2m. If they sustain themselves financially, good for them. If they don’t, then no government handouts. Yeah, real likely, I know /s
