These bills and this thinking are transphobic to their core. And they want cis women to direct their ire and fear at trans women instead of the people who have, for most of time, kept "women's sports" unfair -- cis men.

We've covered trans athletes, transphobia, and fairness often on @BurnItDownPod, including an interview I did with @katie_barnes3 in March 2019: https://www.burnitalldownpod.com/episodes/95
We've talked about it more recently when discussing gender binary in sport, back in September https://www.burnitalldownpod.com/episodes/171
There's more: https://www.burnitalldownpod.com/episodes/161 and https://www.burnitalldownpod.com/episodes/89 and https://www.burnitalldownpod.com/episodes/151 and https://www.burnitalldownpod.com/episodes/hot-take-why-we-must-act-now-to-stop-idahos-anti-trans-bill-hb500-w-ashland-johnson
(there are transcripts for all of those if you click through the links, if reading is more your style than listening)
