Thank you Sarah for writing your letter---and it find it amazing that the paper published it. I am not surprised by some of the comments. Some people are simply delusional---make sports unisex? Obviously these individuals have no idea of the biological difference between the sexes in sports performance. Girls and women deserve sex protected rights. Anyone who thinks otherwise is deeply misogynistic.
Actually girls and women deserve to have a right that pretty much everyone else has, i.e., the right to freedom of association, kind of a mainstay of human rights.
That they are often denied that right -- the case of "Ms. Tess" Tickle vs Giggle for example -- seems a rather egregious and odious case of discrimination.
👍 Good for you. Haven't read it all yet myself, but kind of think it helps to challenge ideological claptrap, particularly in various newspapers. ICYMI, an APNews story that uses "transgender girls" to refer to juvenile male transvestites, i.e. to gender non-conforming boys:

Same old misogynist claptrap based on a zero-sum view of life; any $ spent on female sports is an attack on males. The same misogynists aren't screeching for the weight categories in men's boxing to go away.

Four or five comments there by yours truly objecting to that rather "biased" terminology.
