Sorry you have one of the few kids in the state that is suffering from having to compete against a transgender child but it just is directly affecting a tiny few. Try to look at it as a challenge to help your kid improve and be grateful you dont have bigger problems to face.

It will indeed become a bigger issue at some time. As soon as biological females start to lose scholarships and opportunities because of it, then action will be taken. I listened to a radio DJ talk about it this morning. He was referring to HS only, but his resolution was simple. One team per sport. Combine men and women. At first I thought it was stupid, but man some of it made sense in the end. We are in an age where woman want to be treated equally. And this doesn’t treat them equally but they don’t speak up about it. Because it doesn’t effect enough of them. So they don’t care. Or don’t want to end up like Martina. No winning works good for individual sports. But it won’t work for team sports. The interviews I’ve seen the person says they just want to compete. Go ahead. Compete. But you and I now that eventually one of those participants is gonna say they should be rewarded or that they aren’t being duly recognized as a female. We are such a nation of cupcakes that we’ll fold.

Males have 15-25% more lung capacity then do women due to larger rib cage that allows for lung expansion.
Males have larger hearts.
Males have broader shoulders and narrower hips.
Males have denser muscles and more fast twitch fibers.
Males have denser bones
Females have a wider Q-angle. That’s the hip to knee ratio (that is also why females are more susceptible to ACL injuries).
Even with the hormonal use of testosterone, human growth hormones and steroids female biology is still inferior to a male’s when it comes to the Q-angle, hip-shoulder ratio, muscle density, bone density heart and lung volume.

It will be an issue if it ever hits a big money women's sport like golf or tennis or the Olympics. If that never happens, it may never get much attention.

CeCe Telfer led Franklin Pierce’s women’s track team into the top 25 rankings for the first time in program’s history ending their season ranked 14th in DII. S/he won three Northeast-10 Conference titles, qualified for three different events at March’s NCAA championships and was given Most Outstanding Track Athlete honors at the NE10 Championships. All titles some woman now misses out on.
Do any of the women who will compete against him/her have a chance when the time differentials are so different? Telfer is one of the fastest runners in NCAA women’s track and field at any division — not just at the DII level. Telfer’s best time in the 55 meter dash is tied with the third-fastest runner at the women’s DI level and at that level you are talking Olympic level female runners. And here's the real kicker, Telfer competed on Franklin Pierce’s men’s team as recently as January 2018.

Soon you will see every scientist explain why women are stronger than men. There will be bills put forward in congress that makes debate about women not being stronger illegal. There will be movies predicting women winning all sports competitions in 20 years and when it doesn't happen they will then call it something else like gender change.
