Honestly, it's really sad there are so few. I find it horrifyingly depressing to imagine being the single transfem high school athlete in an entire state, and being aware that her state politicians are spending their time debating and passing a law in which the only material outcome is preventing her, personally, from competing in sports.
I would think your friend wouldn't even be sure about any 'gains' or 'wins' because how would you know any kind of protection, benefit, or treatment like an equal human being could stay? Like anything could be overturned and any reliance on some positive might be setting one's self up for disappointment and further harm down the line! I feel so bad for her :'-(
