YES. A biological male playing women’s sports can be dangerous to the biological women. This is a fact. It’s not subjective. If you can’t acknowledge a plain Jane fact nobody should take you seriously.

Retirement is a misnomer. It just means I get to direct my attention exclusively to the things I LOVE: family, teaching #MLB, reading & writing (for FUN), languages, SLA, travel, the great outdoors… (Notice social media didn’t make my list.)
