6. This Is About The Only Thing

I agree with Trump on. Males competing as females have a huge physical advantage. If it were just about a person competing as an athlete in local competitions, then OK, but you would see females who transitioned to males competing- but you don't. They would be crushed by the competition. I don't know what the psychology around this is, but it allows average male athletes who couldn't win at the high school level to become elite as a transitioned female. BTW- I also understand that this is way overblown. The head of the Ohio High School Athletic Association said that there were less than a handful of transitioned athletes (all biological male) competing in Ohio in 2025.
