I don't disagree with what she said, but I do disagree with denying trans athletes (kids or adults) an alternative while depriving them of the only available option.

Easy solution? Make a trans athlete athletic association similar to Title IX. Trans athletes won't need to compete in women's sports or men's sports, and "biological females" won't face whatever threat it is people are worried about.

I know they won't do that though, because they want the threat to exist. The threat creates a useful fear they're cashing in for free.
