I think you need to go back and reread my first post on the thread. You seem to be hung up on arguing a point that I wasn't making. You also seem to think I don't understand the current situation or the implications of the path we're on with public school youth sports; both of which are incorrect assumptions. It's not a big deal, that's unfortunately just how TexAgs (and the internet at large) works most of the time.
The current structure of youth sports in public schools is not prepared to use gender to determine who can and can't compete. It's a binary sex-based system that depends solely on self-reporting of that binary classification. There have been some attempts to adjust that system by districts and states, but those have largely proved toothless against federal regulations against discrimination. The recent executive order has reiterated that this is a fight the federal government is committed to, so if states or school districts want to make adjustments to the systems that currently exist, they'll have to be a bit more creative and careful than they have been in the past. And again, public schools (and athletics) exist to serve ALL STUDENTS, so the complete exclusion of a group of students isn't a legal option and I think it falls contrary the mission or societal endeavor of public education (which is practical but also compassionate, IMO).
