  • First: part of the point of sports in secondary education is team building. Not every kid wants to play football, as much as they want to play football in their school team with their friends and classmates.

    Second, most schools do not have the populations to support more than a handful of teams for the most popular sports, and a single team for less popular sports. This could work for individual sports, like track or swimming, but basketball and baseball might struggle.

    Third: where do you draw the lines? This is a solvable question if Informed by the first 2, but it raises blood pressure.

    I have no personal stake in this. I didn’t know I was trans in school. I when I played sports, I played on the boys teams. But the question I come back to is: are trans girls…girls?

    If they are, what is the problem? We don’t ban tall girls from girls basketball. We don’t ban strong girls from girls wrestling. We celebrate them. Should Michael phelps have his medals revoked because he clearly has natural advantages in swimming?

    The whole controversy is only a controversy if you don’t actually think we are the gender we say we are.









  • Alabama, Florida, and Arkansas have been called for the Republicans. sucks that Nixon lost in Florida, bit it was pie in the sky. I am astonished that we got south Carolina and Kansas.

    Mississippi is so close it could easily be ratfucked by a judge tossing out 100 ballots. But the fact that the dem is leading there feels like a fever dream.
