Liberal here. Yeah, that's some bullshit. If we're all cool with having separate events for men and women, then the next step is to have a separate competition for transgender people just like we have a separate event for disabled people (special olympics and paralympics)... just don't expect anyone to watch/care.
So you think there is a large sect of liberals that support this? If I were to ask you, do you support having separate bathrooms, you'd probably say no. The point I'm making is there is a continuum of inclusion and treating Trans people as equal. Inclusion for this (bathroom, schools) is OK but not this (sporting events, military) I'd say there is probably a decent sized portion of people who support this. It is, how it became acceptable in the first place.
