Inside The Trans Youth Sports Debate: Data, Fairness, And Real Solutions

We cut through the noise on trans youth in sport by examining real participation numbers, performance gaps after puberty, and the mental health stakes of belonging. We challenge glossy campaigns, map the current legal landscape, and offer a concrete idea to expand opportunity without sacrificing fairness.
