well said. and i think having coed sports could definitely help ease and bridge the gender and sex divides that exist. and i mean, some sports already do that. and i think, a lot of sports, they can be coed with no issue. like baseball, basketball, golf, tennis, soccer. not so sure about american football or hockey.

While I don’t agree 100% with everything (but honestly what two people can really agree completely like that?) I think it’s an extremely reasonable and measured response. Which is such a rarity these days.

I think you're a bit more conservative on this than me, but I can absolutely respect the nuance here

Not a bad nuance take I also want to add that another issue I think will probably be solved in the future but to go off of it in it's current state based on something a friend told me That being the technology we have right now ain't that advanced yet to where they can make someone into a different gender simultaneously to where it looks 100 percent full on transition not say it ain't a thing currently but to still make my poiny so what we have on the table right now is still limited in certain aspects to which I say hope it gets to that point were transition to the opposite gender is 100 percent simultaneous for those who are born trans

When it comes to the topic of trans people, this is how I personally feel about this topic.
Trans people should be allowed to live the lives they want and wear what they want. That being said, clothing is not the same as medically transitioning and I think people should go to therapy and address their history before they make the decision to transition. Do I think it should be mandatory to do therapy first? No. Societally encouraged? Absolutely. It's not a decision to be taken lightly, ESPECIALLY with kids.
On bathrooms, I really don't care about trans people using their preferred bathrooms and I don't support policing what bathrooms people go into. With locker rooms, I can understand the concern with that. Honestly, I think having more gender neutral bathrooms would be good for this issue.
With sports, this one's a more complicated issue. There are different studies on the advantages and disadvantages trans people have over cis people. Some show that in strength sports, trans women maintain physical advantages even after HRT. It's more balanced with endurance sports. I don't think the answer is to simply let them all compete and I don't think the answer is to categorize by birth sex. Idk exactly what the answer to this is, but having more coed sports (alongside the men's and women's categories) could help with this issue.
There are some trans people who are toxic and will look for an opportunity to jump on anyone who slightly disagrees with them. On the sports issue, locker rooms, gender affirming care for minors, the "trans genocide" topic, and also the death threats that some trans people send. I think a lot of this stems from trauma they've faced in their lives and the fact that they've had death threats sent to them a lot, so they develop that reactive response because of the threats they've received. Death threats are horrible regardless of who's sending them and it's not healthy to respond like this. They need to get therapy and potentially even good medication in order to build distress tolerance.
Those are my current thoughts I have surrounding trans issues.
