Trans woman: "I've been through lots of hardship where people are openly hostile toward me, even threatening my life. I've gone through difficult transition therapies and am even considering surgery. Everyday is difficult because of the social stigma around being a trans person but I persist because this is who I am and accepting that has benefited my mental health."

Fox news: "No, you just want to be good at sports which is unfair."

Not to mention that when it comes to sports all genetics are a crap shoot. Should the woman who was born with natural muscle mass, height advantage, proper bone structure, and high testosterone levels be barred from competing?
