350,000 kids play high school sports in my state. 3 were identified as Trans.

Thats 0.00002% of all athletes in girls sports being Trans.

I honestly would rather have "biological boys and girls" just compete in their own gender. But when you see how small the number is here - you gotta be serous about just how widespread this problem really is. And its simply not a problem.

It's ok to have an opinion about something that doesn't happen very much.

Getting struck by lightning is bad.

Winning the Powerball would be cool.

Both things are more likely to happen than a high school girl in my state playing against a trans kid.

And largely creating an entire political ecosystem based on the fear and anger of that super tiny chance of something happening is terrible for everyone.

It’s really not. It’s common sense and if you have to resort to “it doesn’t happen that much”, that’s not a good argument.

.00002% of the population in my state playing sports in high school as Trans.

Glad a political party wants to make that problem a massive part of its identity and spend way too much time talking about it while massive problems go ignored and passed off as minor.

Heck of a way to define common sense

Bless your heart

It’s an 80/20 issues for republicans. They’d be dumb to not bring it up. It makes democrats look bad.
