    I think the idea behind it is that trans athletes have an advantage in women’s sports. That would not be the case in men’s sports.

      If they are trying to protect women from “men” in sports shouldn’t they prevent “women” playing with men? One would think they would be at the same risk…

        If you want to be impartial, don’t use two different words for the two different groups. You know exactly the difference between protect and prevent. I’m not even defending the law, I’m just explaining why it’s a one-sided issue
