[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I will vote D for the abortion issue but I really wish that liberals and democrats could expand from just abortion and birth control to think about girls and female athletes.  Instead, when Rs put forward a solution, then there's no alternative solution put forward by Ds.  Just hashtags.[/quote]

Here’s a solution.  Assume girls are girls and cut the crap if they have an original birth certificate listing gender as F.  It’s a long con if an MD misgendering then in 2008 so they could have an advantage in sports. Why is anything more than a birth certificate needed. Or even school records showing registration in K or PK as a F?

Let the 5 kids in Ohio play if they are transitioning and their hormone levels are at a set place.  That’s a call for endocrinologists, not politicians. At the high school level, err of the side of letting kids play— remembering there are 5 and not 5000, that the suicide rate for trans kids is off the charts and that one of the benefits of sports is community building and helping kids struggling with identity feel accepted.

At the college level, the NCAA should be making the call, not 50 individual states. And again, it should be medical, not political.

Digitally raping high school women is a solution in search of a problem.

I do think we are moving to third category, non-binary teams. I follow this because my kid is at Oberlin, and the have some non-binary club sports, like ultimate frisbee. No problems reported. I think non-binary LAX, Soccer, volleyball, soccer, softball will become more common. And people will see that, like gay marriage, it’s NBD.

I really admire the red state Governor who vetoed his red state legislature’s anti-trans sports bill— pointing out their state had *one* trans athlete in HS sports, and he wanted no part in a trans kid killing themselves because they couldn’t find a community in athletics.  Good for him. [/quote]
