Chicken Littling this one?

Transgenders are around 700,000, about .2% of the U.S. population. Adolescents are around 42 million, 13.2%. Even if EVERY transgender was under 19, you're still talking about a very small sample of students. Realistically, if the percentages are about the same, it's about 91,000 transgender students in that 42 million.

Even if you weight that completely as males identifying as females (which it's not), that's 91,000 to 42 million. That's one in every 462 students. Even if all of them played sports (which they don't) then that's not even good odds of making a team, let alone being numerous enough to make girls sports "go away."

but this doesn't play into the overwhelming fear of those that are different.  in paranoid persons mind all of a sudden every male will claim to be transgendered just to play sports and 'get scholarships' or something.  yet, these paranoid pricks call transgendered people delusional.  incredible.  

most dudes i knew in HS that couldn't make the team just went and smoked weed or did other stuff.  they didnt really care that much about athletics after a while.  i guess there are dumb jocks that spend their entire life thinking about HS athletics, even after HS, but those people are clearly not our leading minds.
