I just watched the Mclaughlin fight from a few weeks back and it got me thinking. Is it possible to be opposed to trans women competing against CIS women in sports, but still be pro-transgender rights?

What do you guys think?

I support pro-transgender rights and equality, but as a woman I think it's totally unfair to allow someone who developed as a male, on a male frame, with male levels of testosterone for 20-30+ years to compete against cis women, regardless of what their testosterone level is at the time of competition (which seems to be the only criteria now).
People already exploit every possible performance enhancer or advantage in sports and this is creating a huge loophole :(

Then again they should crack down on blatant steroid abuse in cisgender MMA fighters first before pointing fingers at any potential advantage trans women may have:
