If you're in the US you're wrong. I've reiterated multiple times we are talking about school sports. Bills are trying to ban trans kids wanting to play school sports from being on teams they feel comfortable. If you think its appropriate for schools to prioritize winning over children, reevaluate

I think the primary focus in school sports already is supposed to be inclusion and school spirit. We are talking about an extracurricular here. Personally I think it's ridiculous school sports have *ever* been gendered. Group kids by skill level. Varsity, JV, and C-teams exist.

Not only is it false to assume every trans athlete will be better than everyone else, to put winning rather than teamwork and inclusion at the forefront of CHILDRENS sports does a disservice to ALL kids.

The place of school sports is not 'win at all costs.'

I never said sex is irrelevant.I said winning in kids sports should be irrelevant. Your premise assumes that any transgirl will be better than every girl & thus will always win & thus is unfair to cisgirls. Not all trans girls are top performers? Nor does 1 player make a team or 1 loss make a season

I mean, I was an athlete in a family of athletes and my brothers a high school football coach. I'm no expert but I certainly don't know *nothing* about how athletes develop.

It's the 'every single school aged boy is better at sport than every girl athlete therefore any trans girl will be better than any cis girl' like, do they not hear how ridiculous, misogynistic, & sexist that is? Not to mention false?

I played youth coed sports. Boys got schooled on the regular
