I played football with a girl on the team from 3rd grade till my sophomore year. She was good. Defensive end. Held her own and then some. Then Jr year, no. Just no.

Apparently recognizing differences in sex, race, yada triggers pansies and they start flinging accusations because their position is not dependable with logic.

Funny...I don't think I've ever seen it go the other way. Has there ever been a woman who transitioned into a man who wanted to compete in a men's division?

Chaz Bono do any sports?

First, I want to say that if a person feels they are a certain gender or pronoun then that's their opinion and not mine to judge (as long as it does not directly effect me).

Having said that, any person that identifies as the opposite gender should still realize their DNA's defined sex has not changed. So competing as a woman with a man's testosterone since puberty does not make you a woman. And IMHO is a form of cheating.

You want to cut any litigation BS just let the women (the real women) athletes decide that question. Gonna be rough to find any female athlete in any sport who would think that competing against a transgender is fair. Let's see the transgender community go after an all female decision. Bet you never do.

There are female PLs who would rather virtue signal than compete: some have stood on the platform and let time expire to protest a trans ban.

Dont underestimate the progressives.

Pretty fragile ego/low self esteem if you have to virtue signal to feel good about yourself. Just my opinion.
