You’re in a conversation and someone says, “Transgender athletes should be able to participate on whatever sports teams they choose. Girls’ sports should be open to anyone who says they are female.”

What would you say?

Some people think that gender is determined by how you feel and identify, not by your biology.

So, if someone feels and identifies as female, then they are female and should be allowed the same opportunities as every other female, including the right to compete on female sports teams.

But this sort of thinking ignore some pretty basic facts about biology, what makes us who we are, and the impact this will have on women.
