13330739, Yes, but that doesn't mean it's right Posted by Bluebear, Mon May-06-19 11:39 AM
I'm for having rules for safety but whenever we have these conversations about fairness and trans athletes they always ignore two factors:
1) There are as kids who are female to male transitioning folks who are also trying to play sports (there's no advantage there); and
2) The point of these sports are to build character and stuff right? It's not like the trans athletes are taking pro spots or even college scholarships. They're just kids, like all of our kids, trying to live as normal a life as possible.
and again, this happens in such a miniscule number of cases that it's shocking to me when people act like this is a tide change.
