Okay listen... i am not at all angry when i say this because a lot of people who say this and mean well but are really clueless because the media narrative on this is so disconnected with reality. A trans only category would not work in any sport, anywhere. There are not enough trans athletes.

Chicago City budget season is coming up and I'd love our city to spend more on the effective nonprofit violence interrupters who are going to be out a lot of federal dollars and less on our police departments tactical police units who keep shooting our citizens and each other.
