The ongoing panic over trans women in women's sports

4. It pisses me off that I have to pay for gendered school sports.

School should be a place where children learn that physical activity is healthy and fun.

It shouldn't be a meat grinder sorting kids out for the benefit of the gambling and sports industries, and I include here the hopelessly corrupt and pathetically nationalistic Olympics.

It shouldn't matter at all that a kid is transgender in school sports. If it does that sport should be banned or restructured.

I was a skinny squeaky highly reactive autistic spectrum klutz in grade school. Sports was a misery. I can't even imagine what kind of guts it takes for a transgender kid to play or what kind of horrors they are subjected to.

I really didn't know what sports was about until I started playing recreational co-ed softball in college. It was all friendly. Winning was fun but that's not why we were there.
