So a few weeks ago I had my mind boggled by a great man that happens to have founded this website, who asked:

Food for thought. [The] transgender movement says that a man can compete in women's sports if he identifies as a female. They argue that gender is how you feel, not what your biology is. By that same logic...wouldn't that mean that women that identify as men shouldn't be able to play women's sports? Shouldn't any women that identify as men be forced to tryout for the men's team? Gender either is, or isn't, determined by how you feel. It can't be sometimes, and not others.

This was not satirical, though I bet something along these lines was pitched over at The Babylon Bee.

And it's a great question. An even greater question when you consider this:

So what's the answer?

Does this "man" have to try out for the MLS now?

Or can she (yeah dude, I'm gonna say she) remain in the NWSL?

Should we just cave and create separate leagues for trans-men and trans-women?

How do we go about this?

Because it's clear to me that this is a giant roadblock for the transgender athlete movement.

Like, it's either we take you at your word—you're a man—or we don't.

Pretty simple.

This is not a shot at Kumi Yokoyama. She just happens to be the first female athlete to make this move. And she must've been thinking pretty deep about it, because get this:

Yokoyama said they had undergone "top surgery" when they were 20 years old to remove breast tissue and that when they officially retire from professional soccer, they will pursue additional gender-affirming surgeries.

So she's gonna wait until her soccer career is over to become fully "male" in order to avoid the conversation we just had above.

This world is weird, man.

Try to keep up.
