It is time to play what if…it’s kind of like let’s pretend.

Background: When I was in school the scientific community taught us that there were two scientific kingdoms- The plant kingdom and the animal kingdom. Today the scientific community says we have five kingdoms. What those five are is not important, just know that there are now five kingdoms. Also, we were taught that there are two genders- male and female. Athletic contests were divided between girls and boys because of the differences in strength and speed between the two genders.

Now let’s pretend: We now have boys who think they are boys, we have girls who think they are girls, boys who think they are girls and girls who think they are boys. So, pretend that we now have four genders. Wouldn’t it make sense that all athletic contests be divided between the, now, four genders? Boys would only compete against boys, girls would only compete against girls, and the two transgender groups would only compete against those who identify the same way. The best I can come up with for the binaries, which I understand don’t identify as either a boy or a girl…well I don’t have a clue so your guess is as good as mine. Jeez, this all so confusing.
