a 17 year old has gone through puberty. A 9 year old has not.

Again, the notion that wee need to pass discriminatory laws in WV, for example, which has less than two dozen trans kids, not all of whom are trying out for track, is absurd.

The laws don't care about trans-boys, just trans girls. It's fear based bullshit. There are middle school girls who are bigger, stronger, and faster than the boys. Lots of middle school girls tower over the boys their same age, and can't wait for the boys to catch up.

It's a whole lot of noise to ban a handful of children from competing because other people fear them.

These are Olympic Decathletes transitioning in middle age like Jenner. These are kids targeted for hateful laws. Sports is the camel's nose in the tent. Arkansas, I think, wants to make gender affirming treatment illegal--we couldn't have the ACA because it was government take over and the government would get between you and your doctor, but it's OK for anti-science religious bigots to get between a doctor and a patient, and a parent and a child.

The GOP wants an unfettered market until the market disagrees with them. They want small government but only small enough to look inside women and transwomen's pants. There's no economic or diplomatic principles with them, just imposition of their narrow minded viewpoint and bronze age sky god mythology.

The best part is that this will destroy the Kardashian brand. Everything is on the table now ZonkerHarris May 2021 #1
