I used to have strong opinions about this, but then I realised that I'm not trans, I'm not female, I'm not an athlete, and to be completely honest, I couldn't care less about women's sports. And judging by the fact that a women's premier league football ticket costs about £5 and the stadiums are mostly empty, most other people don't care either. Certainly less than seem to care about the sanctity of women's sports.

It's probably going to be more complex than a blanket yes or no, and will involve individual sports bodies doing things on a case-by-case basis.
