Didn't think it was fair. Why do you believe it was fair?
Life ain't fair. The whole thing sucks. If you are born with
1) Gender dysphoria
2) Athletic skill and competitive drive
It just might not end up working out. The NCAA and IOC et all are struggling with this, you don't want to take the ability to compete away, you don't want to stack the deck against women after we worked so hard because it used to be if you were born
1) A biological woman with
2) Athletic skill and competitive drive
It just might not end up working out.
Think in the end, trans women are gonna get shut out most likely. From a high level view, it's removing more opportunities than it's giving. Hopefully we can agree that sort of sucks. I mean, that swimmer from Penn still presumably loves swimming, and as a swimmer, I can attest that swimming is pretty fucking boring unless you occasionally get to compete. Even if you run in the Napertucky 5k Turkey Trot you have to enter in an age/sex group with dinky ass prizes, this backlash could put a damper on the joy of sport for sport's sake for a lot of people (albeit fewer than if women's competitions are dominated by trans athletes).
It's NOT that simple - even if the final landscape ends up being the simple one.
