Again I ask: what the shit sort of accolades do these people think high school girls are getting in their sports which would make high school boys pretend to be trans to get them? A write up in the local newspaper? You don’t need to learn to walk in heels to get that, just call the local newspaper.

They can’t make up their mind whether the athletes would actually be trans women, or mediocre male athletes seeking easier competition. Bullshit either way.

A suspicion I've had is that a certain percentage of males have gone through a gay/ trans "phase" simply because of bullying, stereotypes and our restrictive views of masculinity. I have run across at least one especially pitiful "ex gay" whose narrative fit the bill.

The second scenario cropped up with "women's baseball" all the way back in the 1930s. There was never any talk that those involved were anything but straight men. It also seems likely that management and officials tolerated it in the hope that it would get more people in the stands.
