Yeesh, this literally hits close to home, I know the exact area that picture is from like the back of my hand.
Why is it so hard to just have co-ed teams? That would solve just about all of this nonsense.
Especially for young kids, there is next to no difference until like mid puberty. All of this is just an excuse to target queer kids and young girls that dont fit the mold.
Even as adults, the differences are not nearly as extreme as they are made out to be. Thats why olypmic comittees have historically allowed trans people to compete with their gender after only 2 years of hrt.
The actual unironic reason behind split teams is that fragile men don't want to be shown up by women. It's why even in stuff that has literally no physical component they split up men and women. This entire farce is just a way to keep women down. With the boys teams not being intrusively checked girls should genuinely just join the boys teams. Itd be a good way to learn about political action if nothing else.
Edit: also, it should go without saying but these are not good times; trans women are women.
if I was a principal or coach I would abolish the girls team and make a co-ed girl-themed team with the same sport rules and team members. can abolish the boys team in the same move. Of course, just like wrestling has weight classes, these slightly gendered co-ed teams are not randomly assigned.
