    I don't see that as a problem if you don't see "men" competing with women in a swimming competition as a problem.

    I'm not sure what you mean. It seems like many schools have criteria that transgender students must follow before participating in sports such as testosterone suppressant therapy or having levels below a certain amount. I'm not aware of any cases where a male wakes up one day, identifies as a female and competes in their gender class.

    Ah, so you two would be ok if a stranger decided that your young, underage daughter, niece or any other loved one was legal age because they felt like it at that moment?

    I know you two really believe you had a zinger, but you both failed miserably.

    Even trying to "equate" them is beyond misguided (and, utterly laughable)...:bored:

    TX has some serious laws on the books for cheating in high school sports, especially football, and mostly in the cases of which school they play for, changing their residence. Working out of Ft. Hood, I would read the local papers and it was big news.

    What is misguided is believing women can somehow compete with "men" physically. What unfair advantage does an older woman present by playing basketball against younger women?

    Really, you don't see a problem with a 22 year old playing in a league sanctioned game with 14-15 year olds?

    Well I see a problem with a male swimmer competing with female swimmers but I was told I was some sort of o phobe for that. Why is it different all the sudden?

    What I've not seen is why did the kids go along?
    Parents?

    Why, then, are most of the posts about it?

    Sure, just like parents have to deal with boys in their girls locker room because the boy feels like a girl that day. It's part of the sacrifice required in a woke American society.

    People (posting in an egregiously misguided manner, and posting WAY OFF-Topic) attempting to "Equate" 2 Completely Different Things...

    again, since a person with a penis can claim to be female, then a 25 year old can claim to be 13

    who are we to question how they identify?

    umm, you can't say from one side of your mouth that a boy can identify as a girl and then from the other side of your mouth say someone can't identify as being younger, or older.

    The partisanship is the lefties who started this nonsense. Rational folks warned of the slippery slope and here it is

    What a profoundly ugly, baseless and bigoted comment.

    WOW!! You REALLY went off the deep end this time!!!

    The case is about a female coach entering a high school girls basketball contest.

    You need to check your thought process!

    Sorry you feel that way. Africa just happens to have a higher percentage of 7' tall men with poor birth documentation due to constant wars. #Factsnotfeelings

    The federal government teaches them to cheat through affirmative action. The MSM teach them to do it when they applaud cross dressing men winning girls swimming tournaments. State/federal government teach them to do it when they force HUD housing for criminals/welfare rats into flourishing conservative suburban communities. Cheating is the defining characteristic of the modern progressive movement.

    The bottom line is that it is fueled by envy. Evil entities with power use the envy of people who are disinterested in bettering themselves or society and simply want handouts. It is effective and it is cheating.
