Who in their right mind would let their daughters participate in sports if it meant that someone could demand to inspect their genitals? <br/><br/>And so, girls&#39; sports become rarer, and girls&#39; options in society become more limited. <br/><br/>All in the &#34;service&#34; of protecting girls.<br/><br/>Trans-rights are a wedge issue, and women are always next i line for the hit.
