+The new [Connecticut Class M high school girls' 100-meter and 200-meter sprint champion is trans](http://www.courant.com/sports/hc-jacobs-column-yearwood-transgender-0531-20170530-column.html), which would be awkward enough on its own—and then you get to the fifteenth graf of the story, which mentions that she's _not on HRT yet_ (!!).

+The poor local sports columnist looks constrained in what he's allowed to say, and the headline writer went with "We Must Acknowledge Many Questions Remain", but I hope the first draft read, "This is _fucking crazy_. The _entire fucking point_ of having sex-segregated sports leagues is because the athletic performance distributions of females and males are sufficiently different such that our fairness intuitions are better satisfied by only comparing athletes of the same sex! The existence of people who, for whatever poorly-understood psychological reasons, wish they could change their sex, and our humane desire to accomodate them when feasible, clearly do not impinge upon this rationale in the absence of physiologically-substantive interventions like hormone replacement therapy! How is this is even a question?! What's wrong with you people?! _Uaaaaaaaaaauuuugh_"
