There are already examples of transwoman absolutely dominating at the high school level in several different sports. I think allowing this to happen goes completely against the original intent of Title 9.Well I thought it was far fetched but will concede I am ignorant on to this subject so will assume you are right. Thanks.
I'll admit, I haven't seen any evidence the people have transitioned just to win at sports. I have just seen how people are about sports, and I really don't think it is that far fetched that a very tiny faction of a percentage of men would transition just to be winners. Especially, since IIRC under Obama's rules they didn't even have to be on hormone therapy.
As an easy example of the extremes people will go through, look at elite female gymnastics. Thousands of girls drop out of school and practice 6-8 hours a day every day starting at age 10, for the shot of getting on the national team that has 12 spots. Of those 12, once every 4 years 4 of them will get to go to the Olympics. Then in addition to dropping out of school, having no life beyond the sport, literally hundreds upon hundreds were molested by the national team doctor over 20 years. Yet, they kept with it, didn't speak out, and kept going to that docter because that's what they thought it took. Many of their parents were in the room when it happened too.
People are fucking crazy about winning, and when you are talking about elite levels, you are talking about extremes. The national gymnastics team of 12 girls, represents approximately 0.00022% of the total number of 5.8M girls in the sport.
