When I said "modify the transgender players" there had been some articles I read about how some places required them to have lowered testosterone levels to compete fairly. Now, this isn't my opinion on it specifically but it was to some peoples concern, and with solutions for that lowers the boundary of excuses to exclude transgender players in sports.
That isn't modifying the transgender people though. It is a requirement that the person have physically transitioned in a way consistent with others playing the same sport.
*I don't really agree with this requirement because it is so subjective and insulting to have to prove something to participate. Just explaining what it is.
I don't agree with it either. But my point particularly was, there is less reason for people to not let them play sports due to such advancements.
