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."
of course he is chicken littling this one
hes scared. hes scared that one of his kids might turn out to be transgendered. Maybe he has already seen the signs, and thinks if he is really vocal about, it will go away and his child will stay quiet about it because they dont want to lose the love of a parent
People suck
