It’s unfortunate the specific sports debate is occurring under the current administration whose policies give permission to trample on human rights. The finer points of a civil conversation are lost in a cloud of hate promotion.
You have described the issue well. I believe that trans people deserve all of the rights and protections the rest of us enjoy. I completely understand the concerns about the biological/physical differences between those born male or female and the advantages someone born male might have over someone born female in sports. I have a trans niece. My wish for her is that she be treated with the respect that all young people deserve. I don't know the solution to the sports question, but the politicians who have whipped up the hatred of trans people to use this issue that impacts a very small group of people have hurt everyone. The hatred of trans people reminds me of the way gay people were treated in the early 80's. Hatred is not acceptable.
Ida, please no bullying try and be polite in the conversation here. Here this isn't a place for getting mean with people. I understand you seem to feel very strongly about these issues, but if you can't be nice you will have to leave.

Sorry. My intent was to support transgender people.
