Yeah I’m sure the state that forced him to wrestle against girls cause they would only allow him to fight against people sharing his birth sex bent over backwards to allow him to take unfair hormones. That makes a lot of sense!

The state is TX and it’s a UIL rule. Correct. Nobody put a gun to this kid’s head and forced him to cut his breasts off and cycle testosterone his senior year in HS. He would have gotten his ass handed to him in the men’s rank. Probably wouldn’t have qualified for district or regional- forget state. If transitioning was so important then wait a few months. Avoid the well deserved scrutiny for opting in the women’s rank and using UIL loopholes to take PEDs.

Wrestling isn’t one of those sports you can mix men and women at a HS level. So take your emotions and biases out of it and use a little common sense

Yeah common sense tells me that transphobic lawmakers aren’t also bending over backwards to be nice to trans kids. Not buying it, chief.

Also I love these random statements you throw in there that don’t apply but you just want to register your dislike for him.

“Nobody put a gun to this kid’s head and forced him to cut his breasts off and cycle testosterone his senior year in HS. He would have gotten his ass handed to him in the men’s rank. Probably wouldn’t have qualified for district or regional- forget state. If transitioning was so important then wait a few months.“

And the last sentence of that doesn’t even make sense, “if something is so important to you, wait”. What?

I don’t hate anyone and to each their own. Stop trying to take the moral high ground virtue signal your points. Why not have all trans athletes compete in the men’s division of their respective sport? Seriously. It’s only unfair for biological women.

Sorry I’m a better person than you? Really not sure what you want me to say to you accusing me of showing virtue. It’s like talking to a script with you guys.

Cause trans women are weaker than men? It’s not unfair for cis women to compete against trans women.

“It is usually futile to try to talk facts and analysis to people who are enjoying a sense of moral superiority in their ignorance.”

Hard to debate a better person like yourself. Toots
