People get confused about the trans sports thing because at a glance it seems like a small issue that impacts a very small number of people and thus makes sense as a "reasonable" concession. But it isn't, because conceding that is accepting that a kid's trans identity is on some level fraudulent

And that, not to be cute about it, is ballgame

Which is exactly why they've turned it into the Most Important Issue Facing America. It's not because they give a shit about youth - especially girls - sports. They obviously do not!

Once you've granted the idea that it's dangerous to allow trans kids to play organized sports, you're already 99% of the way to agreeing to bathroom bans. You've stipulated to the transphobes' central argument.

It's explicitly a stalking horse for education (college and under) and employment (everyone else) discrimination. Which are the main kinds of discrimination. They have at times been very very explicit that they want to use trans participation sports as a wedge to undermine and overturn Title IX!
