I was, and I think the rejoinder is too.

To be sure, it completely ignores the reason we have boys and girls
teams/leagues/tournaments/awards in the first place. And the reason
=46ederal Law requires (IIRC) schools receiving Federal Funds to have
girls teams/leagues/tournaments/awards that are provided just as
seriously as the boys' teams/leagues/tournaments/awards are.

Note that the Supremes have already ruled that at least one part of
=46ederal Law concerning "discrimination by sex" /does/ apply to
transgender. IIRC, they were astounded that this wasn't clear to
everybody and that they had to point it out.

A certain D. Trump will, of course, shortly be reversing all of this.
Or at least trying to do so.
