It's just that easy

A few years ago, when a parent asked me to be aware that her child was transgender, I politely said, ok, thanks and checked with the athlete to see which division they preferred to run in and to make sure I used the right name and pronoun. Beyond that, nothing else changed. That child did the same workouts, chased the same stopwatch times and carried the same expectations to contribute to the team culture like everyone else.

How is Brian Heywood supposed to make little girls undergo traumatizing genital checks when we have coaches with actual experience like this saying to vote no?!
