This response really threw me for a loop, because my understanding of the objection to trans kids participating in sports is rooted in this elite tier. That's certainly where the vast majority of the discourse seems focused.

I can't fathom caring about whether someone comes in 1500th overall rather than 1490th because there are 10 trans girls playing on team sports in a state. If it's something like running and not a team sport, it makes even less sense to me

When you play a basketball game you are competing against *that team* not the entire state.

Anyways, I refer everyone back to my original post - kids are competitive. Yes, even high school girls who are never going to get a college scholarship. bsky.app/profile/rive...
