Thank you for talking about a transgender girl who is not that good at the sport. It takes away from the argument of unfair advantage.
The parents of the players are truly scary. Parents delay their kids' entry into school, so that their kids would be larger than their peers as they compete throughout the school years.
They spend thousands of dollars on club teams, so that their kids could get a scholarship. That's counterintuitive and makes no economic sense.
Personally, I haven't seen trucks with confederate stickers but that is truly scary.
Yup, sometimes it's just about a kid who wants to fit in. But somehow the hostile conservatives always deflect away from that part of the argument. There aren't too many confederate flags around in my area, I see maybe 3-4 a year... still too many.
Walter, thank you for the trans basketball and daughter essay. It is important and timely. I’m also more concerned about the white male and (Karens) who sit in the stands and drive around in pickups with flags wearing red maga hats. You did a lot today. I have to share it if that is ok! Thank you Walter.
Not having a local newspaper is so depressing. We had The Great Falls Tribune, Largest in the state. A Pulitzer Prize newspaper and reporter. Now gone?Thank God I have you and a few others writers to help us exist. I’m not giving up and sure hope you don’t! Thanks Walter.
Good for you speaking up for supporting a girl just wanting to have fun like her team mates. Authoritarians always find others to pick on, try to make themselves feel superior. Nazis picked out Jews, LGBTQ, poets, liberals. Magas have to otherize to rile up their ignorant base. The NCAA has 10 trans people playing in the entire country. Magas and Transphobic folks would be helped by doing some impartial research and doing some introspection.
As the grandmother of a transgender child I thank you
Thank you too!
2 legged animals sure do like to judge others...such a sad lot to "ASSUME" they can take care of non-human ones...OH WHAT FOOLS THESE MORTALS BE

Yes, it's one of those non-issues that hateful Republicans have used to steal power.
