They ban people whose identity documents don’t match their assigned sex at birth (ie, me). All of my documents list me as female. Birth certificate, passport, ID card etc.
So if I declare that I’m trans, they deny me a visa, because my documents don’t match their transphobic guidelines. And if I don’t declare that I’m trans, and they let me in, then they can hit me for entering the country with “fraudulent” documentation if they later identity me as transgender.

You’ve got your line in the sand, and it doesn’t matter how much exclusion, harm or bigotry you see, how explicitly exclusion from sports is shown to be a wedge issue to normalise exclusion of trans people from other levels of society, your opinion won’t change.
