...history has proven the road to hell is paved with good intentions...and @dad4, I sincerely believe your intentions are good, just somewhat naive and misguided.Mostly, I just want my kids to be able to have a fun experience with sports, and I want the same for other people’s kids.
At the rec level, a trans kid on a youth sports team, like any other kid on a sports team, is a good thing.
As you get closer to college sports, it gets different. All of a sudden, you have tryouts and cuts. It becomes a zero sum game. If Emma has a place, it means that Susie does not.
And, once you make it a zero sum game, fairness really matters. Placing mtf trans athletes in the women’s events is not a fair solution.
Unfortunately you, and too many like you, make two key mistakes...1. believing if you compromise the truth for rec sports, the left will stop there...2. believing the left has good intentions.
...whereas, the truth speaks for itself...and requires nothing more from you than standing up for it.
