The rest of the quote in the article: When Inskeep pressed Buttigieg on whether he believes a parent who has complained about a trans athlete competing in girls’ school sports “has a case,” he agreed. “Sure,” he said. “And that’s why I think these decisions should be in the hands of sports leagues and school boards and not politicians… in Washington, trying to use this as a political pawn.”
Not a great answer. I wonder how he would have answered if the question was rephrased from a trans kids point of view, i.e. if a trans kid was barred from playing high school sports and the parent complains, do they “have a case”?

Isn’t that why there are laws about hormone levels in athletes’ blood?
