That's a cop-out answer. In order to lose something you need to have it in the first place. Trans people don't have it in the first place. Currently trans people are not free to choose which bathroom to use. I'm suggesting we make all bathrooms gender neutral so what do trans people have to lose here? Nothing. They gain the access to use the same bathrooms as everyone else.
I'm not "pivoting" to sports either. I mention sports in my very first message. There's a ton of examples of trans women dominating in women's series on sports. That's just a biologial fact that's well established which I'm not even going to debate. There are men's and women's series for a reason and the occasional exception isn't changing that.
I'm not "concerned" about women. You just keep putting words into my mouth and then arguing against the strawman you put up. If we as a society think that trans people are the gender they say they are then biological men and women just have to deal with it. I'm not arguing for that to be a reason for why not to do it. I state that I'm for gender neutrality in my very first message aswell.
I strongly disagree with the accusement that what I'm saying has anything to do with hate. That's just another false and unfair assesment on your part.
