    Again, what the fuck are you talking about. Banning trans girls from girl sports teams is banning them from sports, because ‘just play on the boy’s team’ is a non-starter for most everyone. This is like saying gay people could get married when gay marriage was illegal because they could marry someone of the opposite sex: technically true and fucking irrelevant.

    Trans girls belong on girls’ teams. You don’t even know that there is a physiological difference between these kids other than their genitals; you ever heard of puberty blockers? Hormone replacement therapy? Those influence your strength and stamina way more than what shape your genitals are.

      They’re just trying to call trans girls “biological boys” in a roundabout way because they know actually saying it is disgraceful and embarrassing. They’re an idiot, basically.

      It isn’t ‘the boy’s team’. That’s what you were taught as a child. As you seem to understand that dividing into these categories has something to do with physiology, why would you say that trans girls have to *automatically *go with the physiological girls and not the physiological boys?
