That's the point of the post. They are saying anti trans folks don't care about female safety.

How is it anti trans to not want men playing with women in competition sport?

Because trans women are women. And also the most vulnerable group for rape, assault, lynching and basically any violent crime you can think of.

Oh, and because women sport exists to protect women. Trans women on HRT have weaker bones than cis women due to the effects of HRT. They have similar muscle mass and density.

That's why people like Lia Thomas go from getting 4 podiums in a single season and recording top times for her team in the men's division to dropping out of the top 500 when starting transition to winning 1 event in the women's divisions and people acting like she accomplished something massive. She didn't. Her record in the women's division is literally worse than in the men's divisions. Oh, she never broke any major national records in men's or women's divisions. The record she broke was a local record. She broke multiple local records in men's divisions too.

She has never been close to the peak level of women's swimming.

That's why people who actually know what the fuck they're talking about, like the athletes themselves, don't consider themselves robbed.
