maybe the problem with trans kids playing sports isn't that they might have an advantage (they don't), but that we as a society put so much value in being the better than other at something that should be about fun and play at least for children.

on another note, caitlyn jenner is trash. She should not be viewed as a trans model, she is portraying trans people in a bad way, especially when she supports trans bans in school sports.

The "solution" for school sports is to make all sports coed. Even individual sports like running can be made coed by, for example. relay races. Sports like baseball can be done coed by using the old-school method of having team captains take turns picking players for their teams from among all kids in a coed class.

Really, is this the most important trans issue people can come up with?

@Pat @louiscouture seems a little odd to use competitive sports as a popularity contest to solve natural gender differences.

@Pat this would be a great idea, plus we could include disabled people

@louiscouture

On second thought... The idea of team captains picking players kind of sets up a meta-competition among individuals to see who gets picked first. Probably best to have team members picked randomly.
