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.

That's where there is some grey area. If it's rec sports, then all good.
If it's high school aged academies/travel teams/competitive school teams etc that basically serve as pipelines to NCAA, then they mostly all are running on their own rules.
It would create a fair amount of backlash if legislation forced those programs to allow everyone to choose where they were comfortable. There is also room for creating a framework to make those programs more inclusive.
