There are probably more people with tetanus than there are trans college athletes. There's literally only 10 of them. It is by definition a moral panic. The people crying about it are lying and evil.
I'd be shocked if there's only 10 trans college athletes. My college fencing club had three I could name, 15 years ago. My current college has at least one.
Now, out trans women who competed in NCAA sports, certainly a smaller set of people.
Also, totes agree it's ridiculous to care about (I don't know how to call it) the "integrity" of college women's sports more than something that is actually harming and killing kids.
Is fencing a club sport at your school or an NCAA sanctioned sport?
It was a club sport and counted as a PE class for college credit. I get that the NCAA doesn't cover clubs, but the image and parent comment didn't specify NCAA sanctioned sports.
I'm getting that number from the president of the NCAA
From https://www.kget.com/sports/ncaa-president-says-there-are-less-than-10-transgender-athletes-in-college-sports/ ? That's the number the head of the NCAA is aware of, and almost certainly doesn't cover college athletes playing on non-NCAA teams and sports.
