I see why the organizing authorities don't address the issue, the cancel culture will come after you and call you an ass or worse.

I think you're not being called out because you wanted to have a conversation about the thorny issues raised when trans women compete in elite sports.

I think it's because you said it would be delusional for anyone to think that trans people were normal:

However to claim such [trans] people are normal is self delusional and to apply the adjective of the day, "weird".

Trans people are normal. It's just as normal as having green eyes or AB negative blood. Uncommon, but normal. I don't think it's self-delusional or weird to say that.

I think if you address the issue without slipping into negative broadsides against trans people generally, the cancel culture won't come after you and call you an ass. But intimating that trans people are abnormal will get you criticized - and appropriately so.
