CAITLYN JENNER: WOMEN'S SPORTS ARE FOR WOMEN.

'[Hailey] Davidson has become illustrative of what many trans people and allies dread - a seemingly self-centered individual who is not thinking about the consequences of their actions and may, in fact, cause harm to others.' Read the whole piece at the link.
I don't regret the time I spent in years past advocating for greater legal and social acceptance of lesbian, gay, and transgender people. I have known successfully transitioned transgender or transsexual people in real life, who live happily as men or as women day to day, and there is no doubt in my mind that such people are what they say they are. I have a family member who is transgender and I respect this person enormously.
But not every person who is represented to us as "transgender" (or who represents themselves as such) is acting in good faith - i.e. an individual suffering from gender dysphoria, who wishes to live a well-adjusted life in society as a member of the gender they perceive themselves to be. Some are just unbalanced, depraved men who despise women and who want a chance to literally beat women at their own game.
And it seems like there's been a surge in the latter category in the past few years.
Why is it even controversial to say that male-bodied individuals should not compete in women's sports? The only reason we're even having this conversation is because there are a lot of gullible, insecure liberals who live in fear that they might miss an opportunity to show themselves "not homophobic like all those right-wing bigots out there".
The LGBT activist organizations of today have an agenda that has nothing to do with promoting justice or equality, and for that reason I no longer support them. Ordinary lesbian, gay, and transgender people do not want to "destroy society", but the leftist LGBT organizations really do want to destroy society - not because they're gay but because they're leftist, and that's how they roll.
As human beings, we orient ourselves in the real world with the help of those around us. This, in turn, requires us to orient ourselves within human society. Gender is the most basic level at which we orient ourselves in society, and if it's not right then nothing else will be right.
