Just to be sure, you're not suggesting that TMEA was
saying that a countertenor singing in the soprano
range would damage his voice, are you? We're all on
the same page that this wasn't their rationale, right?

I think we all understand that the damaging the voices aspect was about
the women singing tenor.
The ban on the countertenor is from the Texans' desire to be fair in
their ban -- ERA and all that, don't you know -- if we bar the women
from singing cross-gender parts, we have to bar the men also. Fair is
fair.
