set up separate competitions only for transgender athletes, simple really
I give up, I should have known better. Why do we split athletic competition by male/female? Are there inherent physical differences? If so, do you think those differences go away after a year of hormones? If not, how is it fair to those born female to have to compete with trans females?
And I realize this is not a widespread problem as the numbers are small, but if one of the females on that team was your daughter or sister or whatever, you might feel differently. Or maybe you wouldn't, actually. But I sure would.
Admittedly I’m not familiar with the story. Is the assumption that she didn’t train very hard to swim like she does? How do her times stack up to male collegiate swimmers? I would guess she’s not just rolling up to the pool after taking some hormones and she also spent her life training for this moment.
Assuming all that’s true, then either she’s going through an incredibly difficult process to steal some accolades from women OR she’s a really good swimmer who happens to be misgendered. At the end of the day, in competition someone wins and everyone else loses. Some kids grew up with access to a club pool and swim coaches, and some kids didn’t. Since when is there inherent fairness with how swimmers arrived to their blocks?
No one is telling her she can’t compete. She just needs to be good enough to make the team associated with her birth sex.
Do you believe that she’s undergoing gender reassignment for NCAA medals?
Her times went from bottom barrel D1 male times, to top tier best in the NCAA for women.Admittedly I’m not familiar with the story.

the idea that someone can take drugs for a year to assist beating these accomplished athletes
have there been instances of cis competitors saying it's not fair or is this just some made up thing by conservatives, "won't someone please think of the girls !"
That should include a ?, not just an ! .
