A distortion that TERFs frequently make with transwomen in women's sport is to use a boxing analogy that a welter weight couldn't win in their category so they went in a different category so they could. I remember a transwoman who, as a male, played football and served in the RAF, but was masking. Particularly amongst older transwomen, or those who did not have supportive families, they masked. What people need to remember is, and here's where I draw cultural appropriation, an Australian-born Greek might decide they like AFL, and of a Saturday afternoon, instead of hot dogs, might sit down and watch the game with Lamb Souvlaki, and there's nothing wrong with that. A transwoman, as a male, may have played football, and liked it, but transitioning from male to female doesn't mean they have to give it up.

I, myself, am leaning towards transitioning, and okay, I don't like sports, but that doesn't mean that I have to completely abandon my previous life. I can still like my Toyotas and Fords and some other things.
