Don't forget, arguments against trans athletes are basically the same arguments people used against black athletes

The videos are awful. They depict gymnasts, dancers, and swimmers, who are always girls/young women, with coaches who are always older men. The conduct in the videos range from the unnecessary touching of young athletes by the older coaches to clearly abusive sexual contact:

A jolly good idea:

From 2027, Russian athletes may be banned from entering the Schengen area. The Finnish Ministry of Foreign Affairs has announced that it will be working on this issue.

It's amazing what happens when you talk to an actual female athlete about issues pertaining to female athletes.

Turns out, a lot of people have no idea how many trans people even play sports at all.

The correct number of trans athletes is "when all the people who want to be athletes are athletes".

Bigots want the number to be zero. Saying "why are you bigots mad when there are so few right now?" sounds bad to me when there should be way more trans athletes.
