No, it may not have spread to your circles but it had certainly become a full-on "thing" by then - Andraya Yearwood started winning races in April of that year which means that person was identifying and accepted as not just a girl but a legitimate member of a girl's track league for enough time longer for that to be unquestioned in CT. It has only recently been openly challenged.

Yearwood has competed without hormones or puberty blockers, which, Vice Media writes, "could have contributed to an advantage". But Vice Media also states that schools requiring medical treatment for trans athletes would create a barrier to entry because of the costs of treatment.

Lol, that is just straight up idiocy. Without hormones, puberty blockers and surgery - it is just regular boy. So advantage is insane, boy's school normatives are higher than olympic women's records. That is just unfair.

"a barrier to entry"

This one is the most ridiculous.
