For what it's worth, I don't give a shit about "fairness" in sports.

Then why the fuck are you even in this discussion, arguing with people trying to defend a highly marginalised section of the community?

If you "don't care", then dropping it so as to not be part of the active exclusion of trans people would be the appropriate move.

Because I believe what I'm saying is important?

Whatever point you think I'm making, I'm not. I absolutely believe trans athletes should be capable of competing in whatever gender sports category they want, provided they are within range of their fellow athletes.
