The existence of women's sport depends on excluding those advantages that are caused by male sex development. For almost all competitive sports, male physiological advantage is the rationale for a separate, restricted female category in which women can enjoy fair competition and in which female athletic excellence can be celebrated.

Pointing out that some individuals are female and some are male, and that the latter must be excluded from competition in the female category for it to meaningfully exist, shouldn't be something to take offence to, should it? It's just a factual descriptor.
