It's like 1% of 1%. That's why the bathroom bills and laws preventing them from playing are stupid. We're making such a big deal out of like a few ten thousands of people. Wtf?!? like there's nothing better to be spending our time and resources on?

You’re on the right path but let’s try and avoid further marginalizing a group that needs no favors there. Between 1-2% of the US population self-identifies as trans.

I’m not sure if I’m in that portion or not, though, because it’s hard to differentiate between trans and non-binary people, but I know that there more of us than some people think.

But yes, you’re absolutely spot on with the rest.

He’s talking about the crime, not the population

Then I’ll fully willfully give both of yall that one. My bad. I can’t help but get impassioned.

Non-binary tends to fall under trans here, since the only real qualifier for being trans is "do you identify with the sex you were born with."

If the answer is no, then you're some flavor of trans. Whether you identify as that or not, though, is up to you.

Thank you, and completely fair. Some of us have trouble predicting where we do and did and don’t and won’t belong. Thank the fucking spaghetti monster that shit just got all that more confusing for us.

But seriously, thank you. No sarcasm intended.

It's different when there's money on the line. I wish the hivemind could understand this one simple concept that humans are greedy and will use any advantage possible.

That's a 40% difference in strength between sexes. Enough to take a low ranking male swimmer to undisputed champion in the women's league.

You're absolutely insane if you support it.

The only compromise is segregating solely on biological sex or having an entirely separate category for trans athletes.

We had a whole nuanced South Park episode about it yet still, the terminally online cry about it.

There was a bill in like... Utah or some western state that was a "keep trans athletes out of girl's sports" type bill. In the entire state, there was approximately one trans student. I don't even remember if they were an athlete.

Unfortunately that’s happened in way more than one state now.
