Cheating, morally condemned, requires intention and action to gain unfair advantage; condemning trans athletes undermines the foundational ethics of sportsmanship.
If motivation to transition were solely to cheat, athletes could employ simpler methods—like performance-enhancing drugs—making transition an unlikely choice for gaining advantage.
Transitioning involves high costs and societal sexism toward women's sports, suggesting that the relative gain from 'cheating' through transition is low.
To label trans athletes as cheaters would disregard the essential principle that cheating necessitates intentionality, elevating ethical discourse around sportsmanship.
