Lawmakers should stay out of transgender sports

Another example of the Republican Legislature seeking a solution to a problem that does not exist. The leadership thinks it knows best, when reality they refuse to defer to experts in the field.
Transgender athletes have enough problems without the likes of the GOP stirring the pot that they have no business being anywhere near in the first place. Secondly, I would like to know who granted them their "wisdom" to deal with issues about which they know nothing.
Leave the governing of school sports to those who are trained in the field. They are the folks who can properly make decisions based on their "local" needs.
