"Small gov't" means government for a small number of vicious bigots and multi-millionaires.
I was not aware of the suicide statistic -- thanks for sharing that.
A thing I read a while ago (though, of course, I no longer have a link) is that the claim that TG athletes put "normal" female athletes at a disadvantage does not hold up when you look at the actual statistics.
There was a magazine article about a swimmer at Penn who'd experienced some success, and of course this had generated some controversy, including on her own team. But in general (and I don't have the citations, either) I think you're right. And why would anyone put themselves through that in order to be successful in sports? The competition might be a small part of what they might want to do AFTER they transition, but a REASON for it? Not likely.
