On the most basic human level, the anti-trans movement is such an affront to the responsibility we owe children in our society to have a safe environment for self-discovery and human connection.

Which is not to say we don't also have fundamental responsibilities to trans adults as well but goddamn, let a trans kid play softball. If it bothers you, get a real fucking hobby and shut up.
it's so clearly meant to cut at avenues of support. I was trans and played sports (mandatory at my high school.) When I came out publicly at a speech at school, my mom sat with my softball coach, for support.
Arguably it also reveals the absolute failure of children's sports in this country. Who gives a flying fuck if a trans kid is on a sports team if we're just playing for fun? but instead, people see their children's athletics as something they need to eliminate "competition"
And while we are at it, we should quit keeping score. I saw some article awhile back that in some European countries, score is not allowed to be kept until age 13 in youth sports. Many, many positives including parents shutting up! Not everything needs to be about winning.
