Girls are bullied as well, and are often physically weaker than others, they are criticised, nagged and punished for not looking as they 'ought' to look. They also have sexism to fight against - much better than formerly, but still in existence. My careers advice, at age 17, for example, was, 'You'll get married anyway. There's the door'. My mother, who was quite a lot older than me, so worked several decades before me, when she left work to marry my father, learned that the man who stepped into her job was to be paid precisely four times what she had been paid.

I can't see what is 'thorny', difficult or controversial about this at all.
The terms 'gender', 'feminine' and 'masculine' have no place outside a book of grammar. Biological entities do not have a 'gender'. They have a sex, female or male. This is determined at conception and cannot be changed. The 'Trans' Religion/Industry is the product of Queer-Theory Activists, emanating from Judith Butler, Gayle Rubin et al. This is applied post-modernism which attempts to 'erase all binaries', so that there will be no difference between true and false, right and wrong, female and male, adult and child. Ponder this last one, for a moment, and wonder what the '+' might stand for in the ever-expanding alphabeti-spaghetti of the 'Trans' activists.
Sport is important. But so is the safety of women in prisons, hospital wards (including psychiatric wards), rape-crisis centres and other spaces which should be exclusive to females.
TRANS 'WOMEN' ARE MEN.
Glib talk about 'trans-humanism' is premature to say the least. Some might have more damning words for it.
'Body modification might become the norm.' Oh, for goodness sake, learn some basic biology - GCSE should be enough.
One more thing from French philosophers:
1 Those who can persuade me to believe absurdities can convince me to commit atrocities. (Voltaire). See Bret Weinstein's reference to the Nuremberg Code (1947) as being possibly applicable to current medical and surgical experiments on children.
2 Evil occurs when the concrete is made abstract. (J-P Sartre)

It's the 'trans' activists and practitioners who can't see beyond sexual stereotypes.
'Trans'-women - who are really biological men - are notable for dressing and presenting themselves to appear stereotypically 'feminine', according to the fashion of the time before feminist emancipation. Thus, there is always the nail varnish, the carefully applied full make-up, the high-heeled shoes, the long hair or wig, the very large breast implants - a cartoon image of a woman.
There is no acknowledgement of the fact that there is no one 'correct way' in which to be a woman. 'Butch' women are women - and not always Lesbians.
The same applies to 'trans' men.
The categorisation of humans into the rigid binary - which the Queer Theorists claim to deplore and wish to destroy - can confuse or even force people (adolescents and sometimes young adults) who are really homosexual into believing that being a 'butch' girl or a 'camp' boy can be 'transed' away by puberty-blockers, wrong-sex hormones and mutilating surgery.
Of course, the next step is to separate 'gender' roles, resulting in girls not being educated, and women not being in responsible, powerful or highly paid jobs.
Some British Victorians: 'Girls who read "difficult" books will render themselves sterile'.
