Two transgender girls can try out for and play on girls school sports teams while the teens challenge a New Hampshire ban, a federal judge ruled Tuesday.
The families of Parker Tirrell, 15, and Iris Turmelle, 14, sued in August seeking to overturn the Fairness in Women’s Sports Act that Republican Gov. Chris Sununu signed into law in July. While Turmelle doesn’t plan to play sports until December, Tirrell successfully sought an emergency order allowing her to start soccer practice last month. That order was expiring Tuesday.
In issuing a preliminary injunction, U.S. District Court Chief Judge Landya McCafferty found Tirrell and Turmelle were likely to succeed in their lawsuit. She found that the students “demonstrated a likelihood of irreparable harm” in the absence of a preliminary order.

There is usually, the “men’s” competition is actually usually an “open” competition.
Then there is a separate women’s only “league” or whatever the actual word is, I don’t sportsball that much.
I did find out there is a game called goalball, and that feels like cheating
How many trans kids in an age bracket in a single sport across the whole country do you think there are? For any team sport, it would be difficult to field a single team, let alone another team, for them to play against.
The media blows this out of proportion for you to even consider this an option. If you think that’s an idea that makes sense then re-evaluate where you got that talking point.
There are laws banning trans people in states that affect like 5 people (I want to say there was a state law that literally affected one trans girl in the entire state.)
The state was Utah, the governor quoted the following in his veto statement:
The veto was overridden.
There should be an anti-trans post category.

As long as all self-identifying women are included, yes.

Gtfo.

There shouldn’t be gendered sports. Just let them all have fun.
But then a woman might beat a man! Think of the horror! The shame!!
Half the women would be males at birth, so technically no one would actually know who beat who ;)
ChEcKmAtE!!!
