Thank you for this thoughtful reply. I'm sorry for your pain, personally I can't imagine what societal rejection like that would be like or the damage it must do.

Sadly it seems that this is such a polarising issue that many argue for one person's right over anothers, I don't feel this is a path to a happy future for anyone affected by this. I sincerely hope that in the future this entire conversation is moot.

However it's clear that some consensus needs to be found as, in a society that values every one, no one person should feel that they don't have a level playing field.

What is a woman and what is a man? I wish I had some clever words to answer this. It's part of why I wish to have conversations like this. Wouldn't it be nice if we all had a clear way to parse this issue without hatred or suffering being involved.

I've been shown some studies that seem to indicate that after a period (two years was what I was shown) the differences appear to be negligible. If that's the case then perhaps that is the way forward, once transition is complete (complete seems like the wrong word but I hope you understand my meaning) then there really shouldn't be any reason to stop trans athletes competing, would you agree with this?
