People get confused about the trans sports thing because at a glance it seems like a small issue that impacts a very small number of people and thus makes sense as a "reasonable" concession. But it isn't, because conceding that is accepting that a kid's trans identity is on some level fraudulent

The current situation is, I guess, vastly preferable to girls not being able to play sports at all. But youth sports in particular would be better for everyone if they were integrated. Maybe boys could learn to respect girls better.

This is really what the argument feels like: "well, boys are too emotional and dangerous to be trusted around girls." Like it's less about trans kids and more about how these people are afraid of raising boys differently. If only something like feminism existed that could explain that.
