You have made the point I am not successful in making at all, possibly because I am a cis female who came along pre-Title IX and never got to be the athlete I wanted to be and possibly because my ability to explain gender as it relates to genetics is limited.

But yeah, the reich-wing attacks on trans people go right along with all the rest of their attacks on gay people. They are a distraction from everything else they want to control...which, BTW, they are succeeding at in many places.

And while we're at it, consider this...while they're attacking trans women and girls in sports, the law has had an effect on a young trans male in Tennessee, who just wants to play golf on the boys' team at his high school but isn't allowed to by a new law. Of course he could play on the girls team, he says, but that would be being true to himself.
