Megan Rapinoe: Bills to ban transgender kids from sports try to solve a problem that doesn’t exist

What is the function of youth athletics?

Shouldn't the question be what is the purpose of separating the sports by gender? And I believe the universal answer for this is that this is done to make things equitable and allow both genders to fully participate in sports.

And unfortunately, transgenders do not fit into this separation. Transgendered boys can so it's really about transgendered girls.

And it's not just about having fun in sports. Scholarships, so real money, is involved in this. Transgender girls winning track meets means fewer cisgirls are not getting scholarships.

..."should trans women compete in professional women's soccer" as two different questions that could have two different answers.

So should we just have non-gendered sports then? Allow boys and girls to participate in the same sports?
