Good on Janet Mills. We need a lot more like her.
Twenty years ago the IOC completed a study of transgendered persons in sports and concluded that transgender women should compete as women.

For better fairness, athletes should be grouped by age, weight, height, and percentage of body fat. Forget about gender, even within the same gender, there will be vast biological differences between one age X and the other age 2X; ditto height, weight, and percentage of body fat.
Group athletes whose ages, heights, weights, and percentages of body fat are all within a small percentage of each other and that will ensure fairness in the face of biological variances. The smaller the percentage, the fairer the competition!
To prevent the smarter athletes from outsmarting the dumber athletes, maybe also separate them by IQ, like only allow those whose IQs are within a small percentage of each other to compete as a group (in addition to having their ages, heights, weights, and body fat percentages all within a small percentage of each others', of course). That should ensure maximum fairness.

ahahahaaaaa!
Yeah, and the maximum height allowed on a basketball team should be 6'0" ...

The mistake too many people make is thinking that a male to female transgendered person was born male to begin with (and vice versa for female to male). This is the fallacy that causes much confusion. A person who transitions does not do so to take on a new gender. They are the same gender after transitioning as they've always been, only now their outward appearance matches their inner existence.

This:
“But do not be misled: this is not just about who can compete on the athletic field, this is about whether a President can force compliance with his will, without regard for the rule of law that governs our nation. I believe he cannot.”
That caught my eye, too.
