It’s funny, but we can’t figure out why she chose it.
My daughter is in eighth grade and on the girls’ track and field team. There is a new student, “Lily,” who has become the star athlete on the team. Lily is a trans girl and has the build of a boy, which gives her some advantages over biological females like my daughter. I am very pro-LGBTQ and am 100 percent supportive of Lily’s transition. She and my daughter have started to become friends, and I’m delighted to see that.
There are trans athletes who suck, just like those of us who are cis and suck on the field, and there are cis kids who have “advantages” that can seem mighty unfair as well—especially when it’s your kid who may seem less gifted by comparison. I have a close friend who is expecting her first child in a few months. She is also my first friend who has become a parent. Most others are still in school or just starting their careers. I think spending some time with her baby will help my partner and me greatly in deciding this issue.
