You can JUST argue "it's not appropriate because of the physical advantage" which is true. If that argument is accepted then the result is that transwomen shouldnt be in the sport. Whether or not it could be "used to cheat" is irrelevant... Because it can ONLY be accepted that it could be used to cheat if the first argument that there is an unfair advantage is already accepted.
So why bother throwing that in there? It comes from an emotive place of incredulity and point-scoring. It's not necessary and it's inflammatory, so why do it?
And again; the story is that she's been removed as an LGBT ambassador. Surely no one can be arguing that she should remain as one?
