I said the same in front of my DD and her friend and whoa did the friend tell me that I clearly didn’t get it. Well clearly I don’t and her explanation didn’t make me get it either. But now I’ve been labeled as something I also don’t understand.
I wonder if in a generation there will be a backlash in the opposite direction? I’m with you, PP, I’m a feminist and very liberal and I don’t get it at all. Denying our own gender does not make us more supportive of trans people.

Why do you think that?

Now they’re being subjugated and oppressed by men that claim to be women. Sports is but one aspect of this normalization. When their daughters are denied the right to play on women's teams by biologically born men they’ll begin to understand.
You’ve come a long way baby!

If gender is indeed fluid then it stands to reason that a boy who identifies as a girl will, at some point, apply to one of the local girls' schools. What will happen at that moment?
Will he be offered admission and if indeed he matriculates will he be forced to shower, dress for sports, and use a separate bathroom? After all if he is indeed a girl why would he be separated? What do we do if he, a marginal male athlete, begins to break the school athletic records?
So think it through.
Why do you assume it hasn't happened?
Good private schools are hard to get into, and finding a reason to not admit an inconvenient candidate is not hard. “Every year unfortunately we decline to admit a large number of highly qualified applicants…”. The letter writes itself.
I wonder how careful they’d have to be to avoid a discrimination suit in DC. If 100% of trans girls who apply are rejected, the complaint writes itself
I guess you are right. I wonder whether there are enough trans girls for this to be an issue. But I could also see trans girls seeking out places like all-girls schools as welcoming environments.
