I’m not hand waving it away.
I’m specifically saying that you let trans and Cis people compete in the gender they identify with up to the elite level. That isn’t hand waving. That is a specific solution.
People who are concerned that a trans women will take the tier one spot on their kids team and their kid will have to play tier two instead and they will lose out on an athletic scholarship should be ignored. Their kid wasn’t getting a scholarship anyways.
This is what I mean when the right is inventing a problem to get people in line with discriminating against trans people. At the high school and lower level there should be no question that the answer is let kids play where they are comfortable.
