It's really not strange at all when you consider the fairly obvious fact that it was never about protecting women's sports, but instead about finding a way to hurt trans people that plays well in the media.
Seriously, find me a conservative whose railing against trans women in sports that has actually attended a WNBA game, or is watching every game of the women's world cup. I'm sure they exist, but I'd be surprised if even 5% of the people who act like the world will end if trans women are allowed to compete in sports have ever actually expressed interest in womens sports. And hell, I'll bet the number who have actively made fun of womens sports before this became a hot topic is a hell of a lot higher lol
