gollark: Or maybe some the people concerned about this are just vaguely transphobic, who knows.
gollark: I assume it's mostly just because it's a more recent issue, and possibly because it's smaller in scope and easier to deal with one than the others.
gollark: That works as a fully general counterargument for literally every problem except the worst one(s) that exist at some time.
gollark: I'm not sure how "some subgroup may end up able to shift the balance of sports rather a lot" is the same problem as "there exist many stupid people in America".
gollark: That seems like just another variation on the "other problems exist, so ignore this potential one" argument.
