Huh? Why did you quote me? I think we are on the same side on this one.
What I said was that this is about fairness -- not hatefulness. I think it will be a thread-the-needle, but smart, talented, competitive young women who could have a lot to lose can get this twisting of their rights under control if they decide to do so.
(Title IX did not show up until 1972 to give young women equal opportunities in sports. There would have been quite a few talented women my age who could have gone to college on a sports scholarship but were born a little too early and missed their chances.)
I realize my declared social acceptance of transgender people horrifies some around here who like to gear up to gang up, but my opinion on this is separate from that.
