Saying that you are not anti-trans when it comes to transwomen in women's sport is akin to Australia's Idiot Hanson claiming that she's not a racist but a patriot when she carries on with some of her nonsense. If she was genuinely not a racist, she would not have made the racist statement she did, in 1997, that by 2050, 53% of the Australian population would be Asian, when the true figure is around 7.5% of the population. She would not have been perturbed by the composition of the population.

Let's consider this for a minute. Why do we have women's football, women's rugby and the like? Granted, women's rugby is not as popular as men's rugby. Because women wanted to play rugby. There have been cases of transwomen who, prior to transitioning, played football and the like, but stopped either once their bodies could no longer hack it or they lost interest or enjoyment. But just because a person transitions their gender, does not mean that they have to sacrifice everything. Think of it like this. A person who was born in Hong Kong, in 1967 wanted to emigrate to the UK, in 1993, and was accepted. They might still enjoy going down to Chinatown for pork buns rather than mash and bangers. Just because they have emigrated to Britain doesn't mean to say that they have to sacrifice what they once enjoyed.

If you are talking about the weekend warriors, that's one thing, but in order to compete in women's sports, they have to meet certain criteria.

Now, let's take former Australian swimmer, Ian Thorpe. He has long feet, and they give him and advantage, so, if somebody said that they'd bind his feet, there would be anger. So, you just have to accept that there will be people who'll have an advantage and as much as you may dislike it, that's the way it is.
