Good-faith concern on this issue would be going, "hmm, professional sports leagues should probably have some standards in place to ensure trans competitors aren't getting an unfair advantage," googling for 5 minutes, realizing every sports league already has those standards and dropping it.

Same with gender-affirming care for kids. Good-faith concern would be, "gee we should be making sure kids are appropriately assessed before receiving care and don't end up regretting it," realizing the numbers are tiny, kids are assessed and regret rates are miniscule and then dropping it.

Bathrooms: "Gee we should be making sure predators aren't pretending to be trans to get into women's bathrooms and attacking them," realizing this is essentially an urban legend and then dropping it.

Every one of these debates is the exact same thing: "Can you theoretically imagine someone abusing this for nefarious goals?" "Yes." "Is it happening?" "No or negligibly." "Are there safeguards in place?" "Yes." "Should we very cruelly over-react in ways that hurt people anyway?" "Yes!"

It's not an imagined problem, it's a made-up problem. The punishment and cruelty is the point, because transphobes want to force trans people out of doing normal things like sports and using public bathrooms.

I thought that's what I was saying? Are 'imagined' and 'made up' not the same thing?

It's a subtle difference: 'made up' implies deliberately contrived whereas 'imagined' could be more passive or unintentional. In this case, it is very deliberate.
