Are there any high school sports that you believe should exclude a trans athlete because of an unfair competitive advantage and/or the safety of the cis athlete?
That wasn't really my intent, it was to note that the existence of scouts for scholarships at some grade 11 event or whatever isn't necessarily reason to draw the line there because if those trans kids aren't eligible for college scholarships anyways they aren't displacing people.
I care quite a bit less about exactly where one draws the lines than the extreme. I generally think most school-based highschool sports should be inclusive. So if it is a state or national championship U18 type of thing, particularly in sports that are very dangerous, then I think there can be some carve outs against trans inclusion at the highschool level, but that most people who are playing on most teams should have that inclusion. But as I say, I'm almost by definition the most agnostic about the exact location, so if someone wants to say it is the sort of top 1% of competitive highschool sports and someone else thinks no more like top 10% then sure whatever.
