I guess the case can be made that this interferes with her future livelihood? Maybe? Like...similar to being fired from a job due to be transsexual?

That her identity is tied to be a woman...therefore she should compete with other women?

I dunno, I'm a bit indifferent.
It's just a sad example of intolerance. That other people can't accept that she self-identifies as a female. Basically, taking agency away from her to identify herself as she likes, and not respecting her as an individual who knows best for themselves.
