Unless I’m reading it wrong, what Little Dying Leaves is saying doesn’t even make sense. It’s beyond stupid.
Kids’ band, art, and theatre programs aren’t segregated by sex, so of course there are no problems in terms of where to put trans-identifying kids in those programs — it’s not an issue. (I’ve never even heard of kids’ yoga and the very idea sounds like a Portlandia comedy skit to me, but as far as I know yoga isn’t generally sex-segregated, and in cases where it is I’m sure there are legitimate reasons.) The reason sports is different is precisely because biological sex matters in sports and the whole problem with trans-identifying people is that for whatever reason they have developed a messed up relationship with their biological sex (and the trans lobby is romanticizing that messed-up relationship and encouraging it to fester in the name of “queering” the planet… or something.). It’s not because evil mustachioed villains find it “easier” to “bash” poor, poor helpless transkids in sports. Come the fuck on.
I don’t think you’re reading it wrong. It’s inane. “you can’t bash trans kids in those as easily”=there is no injustice there. Therefore, no one objects to it, because we don’t object to the issue in sport because we’re just scratching around for something to object to, we object because it is unjust.
So if you’re ever in Chicago and rushed to the ER, the woman with the poise to successfully perform the procedure that saves your life is there because she pushed a trans child out of the way to feed her families narcissism.
At least, I *think* that’s what LDL is trying to say.

Just goes to show you can be “woke” and really stupid at the same time.
