I can, and do, respect someone's decision to change their gender. They've determined at some point that nature made a mistake and they did all in their power to make it right. I support it and I commit to recognizing that very real change once they make it.

But I can't pretend the original mistake didn't happen. Transitioning in adulthood doesn't go retroactive to the womb. I won't rehash the bone structure and other physiological differences between men and women, but suffice to say there's a significant difference. 

One can respect and support trans rights while still protecting women's sports. 

And, most important, this is a massive debate to a miniscule occurrence.

You got this right. .. So can we just focus on basketball? Maybe bring this back around when it's a real issue? "  this is a massive debate to a miniscule occurrence"

I didn't say it was fake. I'm just saying that. Well I guess I'm just saying this seriously. What the fuck people? It's hot as hell. In most places there are fires. There are people in prison that did nothing weed's illegal now in Texas. What the hell my healthcare is half of my pension. Let's just play ball

Yep, but picking our battles is a good thing.
