Trans women should be allowed in sports, but with strict limitations (lemm.ee)

This seems to be a black and white issue for many, always Yes or always No.

As with most thigns I feel the truth is somewhere in the middle.

It's a spectrum

IMO

A biological man who never underwent puberty and never got the benefits of higher testosterone etc. should be allowed in women's sports.

But, someone like Usain Bolt, who because of undergoing male puberty has bigger bones than he would have had if he didn't, should never be allowed to compete in women's sports.

Where we draw the line, I don't know, but I don't think it's black or white.

I would leave it up to sports experts to measure it, which I am not one. It's still a good idea, even if I don't have the expertise to work out the details. I can see from other comments though that you are either a troll or very stupid, intentionally or unintentionally misunderstanding what we say to you. So this comment is not to you, it's to all the lurkers and readers of comments that might otherwise be convinced by your arguments without a counterpoint.
