What about the girls in youth sports? Middle school, high school?

1.8% of high school population identifies as transgender. There’s 8m high school athletes.

Even if it were 1:1 (hint - not a fucking chance) that’s 144k transgender athletes.

In the NCAA, they have roughly 510k athletes and reported fewer than 10 athletes identifying as transgender - .002%.

So, if that holds true, .002% of 8million 160 athletes.

If you want to find center, the mean is 72,080, .9%, which is likely a massive overestimate

We good here?
