It was 10 months after I accepted myself as a (trans) woman that I first realized I had a chance of playing pro bball.

Parts of opposing arguments about the issue of transgender females in female sports make sense to me. I, indeed a trans woman, was in favor of a politically moderate bill in the legislature of Utah, where I lived. It would have taken into account a young woman’s body mass, wingspan, etc.

That said, I indeed wouldn’t be surprised if the number of transgender girls & women “transitioning”* to succeed more in sports is zero. U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order yesterday banning transgender females from participating in female sports.

The first and near-entire reason why is because I don’t doubt nearly all of us don’t have any selfish motivation to play girls & women’s sports, like to succeed more in sports. (Transgender girls & women like the sport(s) they play and know their gender.)

The realization of your gender comes for gender non-conforming folks, including myself, from such a deep/internal and primal place. For me, my body has called for the gaining of breasts and losing of the dick. And it’s been accompanied by many profound experiences, all confirmed physiologically/by chills & goosebumps.

A second reason is because hardly any transgender females are playing female sports. As an example, fewer than 10 transgender athletes as of December are currently competing in college sports, NCAA President Charlie Baker said. Baker also said that the NCAA has 510,000 athletes.
