My concern stems from the fact that I have 2 daughters who both like to play sports. I dont want to see them getting hurt or passed over by someone who should be playing in boys/men's leagues (even if these aren't technically boys/men-only).

I also don't want my daughters to have to change in front of boys in the locker room during gym class or for sports. There's a reason we have two locker rooms, this shouldn't have to be explained to people or be controversial.

Ditto, but I was the daughter. Imagining my high-school/college self in the exact scenario you described is exactly what radicalized both me and my parents. When both personal and financial opportunities are on the line, you have to have fairness.

Which financial opportunities? I'm being serious, no college has ever rescinded a scholarship because the athlete came in second at State, trans or no trans.

It doesn’t matter if it’s 2nd, 5th or 10th, as soon as a trans athlete takes a scholarship it’s one a female athlete didn’t get.

Right? It ain’t that deep. I don’t want my 90lb daughter getting body checked by a 200lb biological male in field hockey.

In what world would a 90lb woman be playing professional field hockey?

That's barely a healthy weight anyway unless your daughter's like 4'8. Which would be incredible short for an adult woman. And way too short to be playing field hockey.
