Transgender kids and sports: what's fair for everyone?

http://www.tranifesto.com/2010/02/transgender-kids-and-sports-whats-fair.htmlWhen I was in sixth grade, both my nemesis and my idol were the same person--Mary Louise.
Mary Louise was small, compact, and cute--a blonde Sally Field. I was hulking and chubby, with hair like a Brillo pad.
Mary Louise could run faster and throw a ball farther than anyone in the class, including the boys. I was always the last one to straggle in, panting and puffing, at the end of a forced lap around the playground at gym.
