It isn’t often I agree with Victor Joecks, but his Oct. 4 column on transgender women in sports was on point. Transgender is a choice, and most choices require giving up something to get something. Gender conversion is a wonderful medical procedure, bringing comfort to thousands. But part of electing this procedure is giving up competing in women’s sports.

Males should compete with males. Females (born as female) should compete with females, unless a women’s team is not available. Transgenders should compete with males. This is not unfair. It is part of their choice. It is fair to females who choose to compete.

Any school administration that allows transgenders to compete as women should be rejected. Any female team scheduled to compete against a female team with a transgender should forfeit unless the team members, not the school or the coaches, agree otherwise.
