>I don't see the need to create and articulate a universalizeable moral framework to decide how I should react to a specific case in front of me.
You kinda do, otherwise your position just sounds like "why are you talking about trans athletes? You should just Trust the Experts, except when I disagree with them, then it's an Important Moral Issue that the public needs to weigh in on".
>I listed rulemakers and organizers but also athletes themselves. I don't know much about the history of the olympics but I would guess the desires and probably activism of women athletes played a role.
This is a very perilous position to hold, because it basically means if there's enough TERF athletes to outnumber trans women athletes (which doesn't seem too implausible, based on purely demographic factors) then it's okay to exclude them.
My point is really more along the lines of: look around man. Transphobia is the tip of the spear of fascism in the 2020s, look who your allies are, look who benefits from drawing attention to this specific question right now. Look at what you are choosing to be a part of by doing this here and now.
