Every few days we're hearing stories of men at the highest levels of a sport like weight lifting, briefly identifying as a woman, long enough to break all of the female world records, then re-identifying as a man.

It's funny that you mentioned this because yesterday I saw a person on Twitter who broke several records doing just that... Very funny xD

Okay, now I have to say, I agree, people should be aware of reality can't be what they want them to be:

Transgenderism makes no sense for various reasons. The first and the main one is that it is impossible. And it is impossible, not because I say so, not because science says so... It is impossible because Nature says so and Nature is in fact the most powerful force on the planet.

The second could be exactly what you have just raised, at a societal and legal level is more of a joke than something truly objective and rational. I would like to point out that in countries like Argentina, criminals (including rapists) have taken advantage of this type of law to change their genders and get them put in prisons for women.

I even saw a petition among Trump supporters, that on his last day in office he should publicly identify as a woman for a few hours; forcing his ideological opponents to either abandon transgenderism or to accept him as the first female president of the USA.

That would be hilarious.
