in men's sports in most jurisdictions, so they still have access to sports and can benefit from their taxes.
Many people are concerned that if, for example, a large, very physically fit male swimmer were to convert his gender and then participate in a women's swim competition, it would be unfair to women athletes who have trained for years to be at the top of their category. Unfortunately, like another post pointed out, the exclusion in women's sports often involves transphobia, especially amongst right wingers.
