    sorry I misspoke there. I meant to say she currently identifies as a woman.

    That makes even less sense. You're saying a woman should fight against men rather than women if she currently identifies as a woman? HUH?

    Progressives do not support this outcome.

    The Liberal/leftist/Progressive/SJW position is that the state of Texas fucked up by requiring this boy to wrestle girls and the agrees.

    EVERYONE thinks the girl wrestlers are getting fucked over. it's just that ignorant culture warriors think the boy is fucking them over and liberals understand it's the state who's fucking them over.

    they're not performance enhancing if they only take him to male-normal levels of T. PEDs, for sports purposes, raise one's level ABOVE the natural level for the sex in question.

    for sports purposes using various substances to bring your T level up to "normal" varies from state-to-state and sport-to-sport. Sometimes there are medical exemptions and sometimes there are not. Often there are conflicting standards too - many athletes and their training camps/staff have a hard time getting a handle on it. It's :unuts: really.

    This person is being treated in accordance with the standards held in common by both the NCAA and the IOC (the later of which is known for strictness around doping)

    It is, basically, the industry standard for amateur athletics and several states modeled their own rules on these. Texas is simply being dickheads and pandering to the White Evangelical Pharisees as is common in conservative states.
