I am concerned about transgender females (born male) competing in sports as a female. It started many years ago when a transgender female (born male) competed in tennis tournaments and more recently when a transgender female (born male) won a collegiate swimming event by several laps and took a medal away from a female (born female) who had trained many years for this event, and then there was the volleyball debacle at San Jose were other teams forfeited rather than play against a team with a transgender female (born male).
Have you ever seen a transgender male (born female) fighting to participate in college athletics? Of course not because he would be at a physical disadvantage having never gone through puberty as a male, just as transgender females (born male) are at a physical advantage having gone through puberty as a male. If little Johnny want to play spots he should do so as a male and go through conversion later in life the way Bruce Jenner did.
