Why Politicians Target Trans Kids in Sports

Politicians are using trans kids in sports as a way to get votes. This is wrong. It puts kids at risk. Trans kids already face a lot of problems. They are more likely to feel sad, worried, or turn to drugs. Sports should help them, not hurt them. Only a tiny number of athletes are trans. In all of college sports, just 10 out of 510, 000 athletes are trans. That's less than 0. 002%. This is not a big problem. It's like looking for a needle in a haystack. Some people say trans women might hurt other players. But not all sports involve contact. And in regular games, bigger girls play with smaller ones all the time. No one complains. There's no proof that trans athletes cause more injuries.Science says trans kids should be included in sports. A top doctor said there's no good reason to stop them. The rules against trans athletes are not based on science. They are based on politics. This issue only became big after a trans college athlete was attacked. Now, politicians use it to divide people. If leaders can only win by attacking others, maybe they shouldn't be leaders. The plan says it wants to protect girls' sports. But it's not protecting all girls. Trans girls are girls too. They deserve to play sports safely. Voters should ask for better from their leaders.
