Playing a sport in school vs high risk, traumatized-for-life felony.

10. Why not compete against boys?

They will have to compete against men for jobs and everything else when they are grown.

I love how they frame it , the female is always a "girl" and the male always a "man" . One of the repub candidates here ran an ad that said her Democratic opponent wanted to let men go into the locker room with your little girl. We have to push back at this framing.


I'm going to add, when I was a kid, like 9 or 10, I played softball with the boys as did other girls. Because I was skinny and long legged I ran faster than the boys. I also hit straighter with good arm strength from playing on the monkey bars so much. So I don't see the big deal.

... the washed up wrestling coach neglected to mention is that trans girls take meds that drastically diminish their testosterone levels, and subsequently their physical strength, which goes a long way to leveling the playing field, so to speak.
Jordan is just a malicious moron desperate for attention.

18. Who are all these men competing against women in organized high school, college or professional sports?

It's probably happened somewhere because Trumpers keep saying it's a pressing issue, but no one can give me any real life examples.
