knighttof3: But we will bend over backward, because we are nice heterosexual men and women, and put her in her own prison wing, and let her have her own bathroom (or temporally [sic] exclusive use of men's room). Not have her compete with bio women and not call her a woman without qualifiers. No she can't use bio women's facilities like restrooms and gym showers. Fair?

Um, no... none of that is correct.

First, we're doing the exact opposite of bending over backward to accommodate transgender individuals. Twenty states have a law or policy banning gender affirming care.

Nearly 1 in 5 of any type of hate crime is now motivated by anti-LGBTQ+ bias.

In California, inmates have filed at least 321 requests for transfers based on gender identity since the law, SB132, took effect, but the Corrections Department has granted only 46 of those requests.

As for athletic competition, upthread we established that 50 out of 480,000 college athletes are transgender and 15 transgender athletes compete in high school sports. And World Athletics (WA), the governing body for track and field and other running competitions, announced in March that transgender women who went through male puberty can no longer compete in women's events at international competitions.

WA also ruled that to compete as a woman, athletes with differences of sexual development (DSD), who have congenital conditions that cause atypical sex development, must have a testosterone level below 2.5 nanomoles per liter (nmol/L) for at least 24 months before an international competition.

But is there a scientific consensus about how trans athletes actually perform compared with cisgender women?

No.

States are passing laws that ban transgender students from using bathrooms that correspond with their gender identity, including Oklahoma, North Carolina, Idaho, Iowa, Kentucky, Alabama, Arkansas, and others.

Hardly bending over backwards in favor of the transgender community.
