So I work on a military base in a building with less than 5,000 people, of which three have confided to me that they are trans and wanted someone to talk to and I have a niece that is trans. I have a hard time believing only 1 trans person per state has a desire to play sports with my completely anecdotal evidence. I don’t know what the real numbers are and I get that it isn’t the point but I don’t think it’s effective to diminish the number of trans folks that there are. I’m very confident anyone not living under a rock knows and is likely at minimum a friendly acquaintance with at least one trans person, whether they are aware of that fact or not.
