@Zardoz,
Re sports - the kicker is that,
per Charlie Baker (NCAA President), there are
fewer than 10 transgender athletes in the NCAA, out of 500,000 total college student athletes. Ten would be .002%.
Even if high school athletics was 1,000 times that, it would still be a measly 2%.
Spending more than an hour (on the absolute outside) of a four-year presidential term on this is overkill. And, of course, a smokescreen to cover up the clear and blatant power grab for now and the future, and giving aid and comfort to Putin.
