Given how often the supposed threat of transgender athletes has been surfacing on your television screen, you might be wondering how massive the onslaught actually is.
I get paid to be curious for all of us, so I called the Michigan High School Athletic Association to ask: How many trans girls are swarming our states sidelines?
The answer:
Two.

Surely the Repukes wouldnt lie to us, would they?

(21,745 posts)Listen, most trans kids have zero desire to play sports as it brings attention and that's the last thing a trans kid wants to ddeal with. The ones who do play trans sports, are doing so without issue, no one is bothered by it.
We can't set policy that effercts the many because of some odd corner cases somewhere that some people don't think is fair. What we are doing in Michigan works. It's a case by case basis, the way it should be. If some 6-7, 225 pound star basketball player transitions to female and wants to play girl's basketball, the system can handle that individual case on its merits, but we aren't seeing anything like that.

That usually doesn't happen, unless Trump is running a teen beauty contest, in which he must visit the changing room.
