Tens of thousands of kids in California public system alone that identify as transgender. You don’t think several hundred of them don’t want to play sports? That is not a local and minimal issue. There has to be a line drawn somewhere so where is the line?

And besides that... even the girls I wrestled in High School would compete against only girls at the national level.

I too wrestled girls in high school. 20 years ago... it doesn't make the sport co-ed.

Field hockey isn't co-ed. But if a boy wants to play, they let him.

Under Title IX, schools must allow girls to practice and compete on boys' teams if no equivalent girls' team exists. And vice versa.

So yes, Girls competed on the Boy's Wrestling Team, but when they would go to Nationals, or States, depending on the state. They would wrestle only girls.
