From<\/a> WaPo<\/strong><\/em> on public opinions on transgenderism<\/em>:<\/p>\n

Cherisse Villanueva, 34, a pharmacy technician in Honolulu, said she knows more than 10 transgender people and believes society should be accepting of them. \u201cEverybody\u2019s human regardless of how they feel or what they were born with,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

But Villanueva said she does not believe that transgender girls and women should compete against cisgender ones. \u201cNot to be mean, but biologically they\u2019re built like a male, even though they identify as female … so of course they would have the advantage of winning.\u201d Villanueva, a tennis player, added that she is \u201calready intimidated when we play co-ed tennis and there\u2019s a male on the other side.\u201d<\/p>\n
