No. My argument is what I believe is best for all competitive sportspeople, based on my experience in competitive sports.

I've been subject to a code change that disqualified myself and another teammate before a major competition. It's a lot of time and hard work to get there in the first place. I want people to have a good understanding of the future vision of their sport and their place in it. I'm concerned that there is no consensus between managing bodies of major sports at different levels and that dedicated sportspeople don't have a clear pathway right now. At some point they're going to hit that lovely glass ceiling and have to watch other people surpass them because they can't progress past the tougher regulations at a higher level.

I wouldn't do trans sportspeople the disservice of thinking that the highest achievement they should be aiming for is a participation medal. Trans youth shouldn't have to choose between being true to themselves and achieving their goals in sports.

Real change in sports regulation at all levels requires a coordinated, evidence-based approach. We're not seeing that.

I think that's a good and worthy desire. My concern is that there's also a cost to enacting an overly punitive policy, and there would also be people hurt by that. So we should be careful, and specific, and evidence-based, and try to limit that harm as much as we can. Especially given that it hasn't actually been a major problem yet.

And that concern is deepened by the fact that there absolutely are a lot of people in this conversation who are significantly motivated by transphobia, and they are not interested in careful or specific or evidence-based.

I don't really understand what you mean by this.
