I’m intrigued by this case of the Texas high school transgender kid winning the girls’ wrestling title. Ordinarily, we hear of boys becoming girls and then [unfairly] winning the girls’ division. But in this case, a girl became a boy and wants to wrestle in the boys division, but is forced to wrestle in the girls’ division. It sure seems unfair for someone being allowed to bulk up on the associated hormones, and then competing against girls.
The typical Yahoo comments are 90% from people complaining about liberals. But in this case, it seems that it was the conservatives forcing people to compete in their “birth” gender, that is the cause of this particular conundrum.
I’m not sure what I think is the right solution. It seems to me like it would be doping even if he is allowed to compete against boys. But not allowing transgender kids to compete in sports at all seems discriminatory.
Might consider the case of Dutee Chand whose body naturally produces excessive male hormones which give her an advantage.
I don’t see anyway that is fair/accommodating to everyone.
