Okay, while I do not agree with the vast majority of your draconian views Mike, this would be a case for restrictions and ethically unequal. Even Billy Jean King had to have hybrid rules in place to allow her the ability to beat Bobby Riggs in 1973. But #ResistTrump is also correct in that transgender girls do not want to express their masculinity in such an unethical way which is why they usually play golf where skill outweighs strength. But hey, keep fishing Mike, you might catch on to something real eventually. Of course you’ll probably find it is the opposite of what you currently believe.
Mike has the story backwards. It wasn’t a boy trying to wrestle with the girls, it was a girl who identified as a boy. They wouldn’t let “him” wrestle with the boys. Since he had been taking male hormone treatments, he was of course stronger (male muscles are approximately 15% denser than a females) than the girls he was wrestling and won all his matches. I can see them letting him wrestle boys. I can’t see the reverse happening. A male who identifies as female would still have a natural advantage in size and strength of a male. I don’t see a way to “equalize” this. I can see trying to compete above your strengths but not below.
There are a VERY SMALL number of people whose biological gender is less than clear. The currently popular and politically correct belief that we can select our gender based on how we feel about it and what we think we’d like to be, however, is in Alternative Facts territory.
Let’s at least get the facts out: the transgender was born a girl and is undergoing treatment for gender change, including taking testosterone. Testosterone falls in the same category in action as steroids, in that they both promote muscle growth and strength. The transgender boy wanted to wrestle with the boys, but the state law ties eligibility to sex at birth. The state chose to ignore the testosterone treatments as they are not listed as prohibited treatment. With the rise of transgender individuals the rules need to be changed. As for bathroom rules either have a single bathroom or once a person has progressed to the point that they appear to be their chosen sex then that is the bathroom they use. I don’t really think a transgender women is going in there to mess with little girls.
SCRATCHY, how much is it like the child that was born with androgynous body parts who, when the doctor made the wrong decision and made her the wrong sex, chose to return to her real identity ? This happens a lot more than you may think.

So what is your position on this Mr. Lester? The boy wanted to wrestle with boys, but the rules said he was a girl and had to wrestle with girls.

This is a completely imagined cartoon scenario; any similarities to actual news stories is entirely coincidental.
