    In what world is this a reasonable compromise? Your second paragraph also directly contradicts your first paragraph. You don’t see why there are gender based divisions, but also we should reinforce those divisions and in addition force transwomen to submit to "gender investigations? "

    I’m just baffled tbh.

      I was assuming the previous position was an outright ban. I don’t actually know for sure if that was the case though, now that I think about it.

      A compromise involves something imperfect for both. If either side got exactly what they wanted, it would not be a compromise.
