The answer is: Hell yes, trans kids should be able to participate in sports according to how they identify.
The emotional damage done by rejecting a kid’s identity is the real concern here. Not the bigotry of a busybody parent trying to bully that one kid.

Also defunded: a longstanding grant supporting the training and development of pediatric researchers. As if research and careers focusing on childhood disease weren’t underfunded and disincentivized enough already. . .
The NIH grant that has supported 38 years of training the best pediatrician-scientists in the country (I’m a proud former recipient) was cancelled. It was just approved for a 5 year renewal. The PSDP has supported the careers of many NIH-funded pediatrician-scientists and thought leaders

This is a really disappointing decision by the NIH to cancel the longstanding Pediatric Scientist Development Program (PSDP-K12) grant that has funded the early career development of numerous pediatric physician-scientists who have become the pediatric leaders in the US and the world.
