how many of these kids are there? hundreds? thousands? fewer?

maybe the only "fair" answer is to divide sports into " boys" "girls" and "trans?" maybe it should be a case by case?

the best girls will beat many boys but i might think that most trans girls would have an advantage over most biological girls.

at any rate, i don't think the legislature is the place to decide. there are like ncaa and state level sports assns that need to have a serious discussion without the legislative grand standing.

well, i guess i've said enough to get a bashing.
