It is so hard to watch this situation and understand that there can be equal parts kindness and respect for sports. Big conversations could be had. There are solutions out there, even if imperfect. But the truth is that the amount of transgender athletes is incredibly low. That number also pales in proportion to the amount of conversation around it. I am happy that I have seen some very kind and thoughtful conversations about it here on Egriz, and I would really just want to remind everyone that it is really great to be kind to each other.
There are solutions. I don't know which solutions are the right ones, but societies find them through the awkward process of trying things, discarding what doesn't work, and moving forward with what does. Sports leagues at all levels are finding them. And this is REALLY not something that anyone needs to hate anyone over. It is going to be okay, even if many of us have big feelings on either side. As much as we all care about sports, and they can be important, anyone dealing with these issues is already dealing with more than just sports..
