In high school sports they're complaining about 'competitive imbalance' but they don't care about the competitive imbalance between schools.

They don’t care if kids from one school don't get training because they can't afford it, whereas kids in the competing school can afford to spend a lot of money on coaches, assistants, equipment, and maintaining the best field.

They don't worry about that competitive imbalance, but they're worried about trans athletes.

Some of these lawmakers say that trans athletes are 'stopping people from getting college scholarships'.

Well, if high school sports were about getting college scholarships, they're doing a horseshit job. The percentage of kids playing high school sports who go on to play college sports, is extremely low.

So there's just not that many opportunities to begin with.

The NCAA really messed up last year when they decided to change the rules so that Lia Thomas can't swim in the Nationals. Really? You're gonna change that a month and a half away from the championships? You can't do that.

And she only won one. It's not a given that she’ll be racing faster than others because she’s trans. I commend her for going through all the bullshit, and I think we're all indebted to her for being a pioneer for that.

Opposite of a Caitlyn Jenner, who is absolutely trying to drive us into the ground and does nothing for our community. When she came out, I was ecstatic because she was an athlete with all that notoriety. It was a little bit of a validation for people like me in sports.

But then for her to say the stuff that she's saying – it's almost like she's not one of us now.

Why aren't we working on a solution instead of just saying, trans athletes should just not compete? Everybody's got their politics, and it's awful and difficult. I'm just thankful for the people that are fighting for us -- people who are trans and cis, and everything else who’s fighting. We just have to keep this work up.
