Well the less than 10 trans athletes in the NCAA must be crushed.
For those that say trans people should just have their own league, there aren't enough trans athletes to do that. A tiny tiny sliver of trans people are athletes and we are already only 1.5 million people. Having our own league guarantees trans people can't be athletes cause there's not enough people or funding for a whole league. Women's leagues already struggle with funding and women are the majority in the country.
Plus does trans people having their own league mean trans men and women play against each other because that doesn't seem fair since they both have similar level of athletic ability as their cis counterparts. So then do we the separate it further into trans men and trans women leagues? Because that definitely won't get enough funding for two brand new leagues across all education linked and professional sports.
Either, trans people can participate against their cis counterparts because there's plenty of evidence to show they fall in line with them when it comes to athletic ability, or you say no trans people can ever ever play sports. That's it.
Sadly, the people who support this don't want trans people to be able to play sports, because they don't want them to participate in society at all. They have no empathy, nor do they respect the science.
I've tried to find evidence to show friends and family but I've only found bits and pieces, does anyone have any links they'd like to share that would help in this argument?
