It's framed as opinion and hypothesis; the fact that a sports scholarship is the only path for people to access the best University facilities in the US and avoid six-figure tuition fees makes it incredibly likely that people would do literally anything necessary. The issue isn't having an opinion, the issue is seeking to influence policy based on emotion rather than unbiased research by - again - not allowing that research to be done, and deeming the pursuit of that knowledge "offensive".

The point, though, is that assuming that it WON'T happen is the only part that is dangerous and discriminatory against women, because the elephant in the room is that biological males are better sportspeople than women. I don't think genuine transwomen should be able to participate in women's sport. It is an unfair biological advantage and there is abundant evidence of that... it's just something that has to be accepted as part of being trans, at the end of the day. And what a ****ty situation for women in general? Having to repeatedly say "OK listen, we simply don't have the strength or speed to compete with biological males". Women at the top of their sport being forced out because it is a simple biological fact that if transwomen are in female sport, all of the top contenders will be trans. It's not even a question. They will take 1st, 2nd and 3rd and they will secure all of the adacemic sports scholarships for physical sport.
