The issue is men trying to compete in women's competitions.

There may be an argument for not having separate tournaments for women at all, but while there is such a division, it's essential to filter out men for this purpose - including those who pretend to be women.

Thank you for explaining it to me. I feel very differently about it (I don’t think there is any pretending involved), but now I at least understand the other side of the argument.
