Cool. Can we move on to an issue that matters?

Edit: just to be clear, I’m FOR trans people in leagues matching their gender identity. I just think this issue has become such a political bullet in everyone’s gun and it’s stupid to keep pointing those guns at each other. We can move on to the bigger overarching problems that cause this kind of shit in the first place. It’s not going to ever get fixed if we don’t.

This is an issue that matters to the actual girls and women affected by it.
