As children across the U.S. head back to classes and practices for fall sports, four more states are expecting their K-12 schools to keep transgender girls off their girls teams.
Kansas, North Dakota and Wyoming had new laws in place restricting transgender athletes before classes resumed, and a Missouri law takes effect at the end of this month, bringing the number of states with restrictions to 23.
No downvotes from me since you make a lot of sense. I feel compelled to type a long response since you spent so much time on yours, but I would essentially just be repeating and agreeing with what you have already said. Idealism is nice, but not when it gets in the way of actual progress. As they say, we can’t let perfect get in the way of good enough.
