This is too far down the psychological rabbit hole for the issue at hand. Every single person with one of these quirks has their own reasons, goals, and justifications for their choices. But sports divisions don't care about feelings. Girls get their own teams in most sports because of inherent physical differences creating a grossly uneven playing field otherwise. Everyone knows this, but the left is just completely ignoring this common sense fact because they can use peoples' opposition to push some bullshit narrative about bigotry.
Girls can already try out for the primary team in nearly all cases. Few do, and fewer still would make that team because they're going to get destroyed out there. Female-only teams exist to give them a place to compete and thrive.
In every professional sport, women aren't prevented from being in the premier leagues. MLB, NFL, NBA, PGA, etc. All would happily showcase women if there were any qualified candidates, but no team is going to intentionally torpedo their chances at winning just in the name of gender equality.
I get why a trans girl would want to play on the traditional girl's team. I just reject those reasons as irrelevant. If you want to find ways to socialize with your chosen gender, pick an activity other than their sex-restricted sports teams.
