Transgendered athletes -- maybe the worm is turning?

https://www.wfsb.com/news/ct-high-school-girls-track-athletes-file-suit-after-transgender/article_9f73e28e-4dc9-11ea-9449-af76cf05bbe7.html

Quote
HARTFORD, CT (WFSB) - Three high school track athletes and their mothers have filed a lawsuit in federal court to challenge Connecticut's policy of allowing transgender girls to compete in girls' sports.

The suit, filed Wednesday in Hartford, said the state's policy robs female athletes of opportunities because of the physical advantages of transgender girls.

Well, sure.  That's why we have separate boys' and girls' sports in the first place.

Quote
"CIAC’s policy and its results directly violate the requirements of Title IX, a federal regulation designed to protect equal athletic opportunities for women and girls," the suit said.

Hmm ... interesting legal strategy.  Can't wait to hear what the court decides.

Quote
“Girls deserve to compete on a level playing field. Forcing them to compete against boys isn’t fair, shatters their dreams, and destroys their athletic opportunities,” said Christiana Holcomb, Alliance Defending Freedon (ADF) legal counsel. “Having separate boys’ and girls’ sports has always been based on biological differences, not what people believe about their gender, because those differences matter for fair competition.

"Forcing them to compete against boys ..."

Someone's going to get triggered over that.

I feel really sorry for judges. I mean, what are you supposed to do with something this dissonant? Can law exist in an environment where statements like this compute?

Considering that there probably hasn't been a conservative judge in Connectucut (in either state or federal court) in two or three generations, this one's going to be interesting to watch. Mostly for how the court will spin it to make it look like allowing boys to play as girls for athletic purposes isn't really unfair because ... reasons.

It is about time lawsuits like this are started to put the brakes on this crap.  I figure this will take years to get resolved.

So is this:

https://dailycaller.com/2020/02/13/megan-youngren-transgender-runner-olympic-trials/

Quote
Former U.S. Olympic athlete Rebecca Dussault told the Daily Caller News Foundation in September 2019 that allowing biological males into female sports will have disastrous effects on female athletes.

“Once a male body has gone through puberty, they have received the benefits. So the skeletal form, lung capacity, muscle density, the greater length of levers in their body, their muscle-to-weight ratio, their capacity to deal with dehydration much better, narrower hips, I mean you name it — they are physiologically designed differently than women,” she said.

“We invest so much money into keeping sports fair, and this blows the cap off of it,” she added. “Every woman’s record in sports will fall.”

I've been saying this for awhile. 'Victim' classes of people all have to fight eachother for the same political territory.
Transgenderism and feminism are especially exclusionary of eachother and cannot occupy the same space, and they are two of the biggest, loudest 'victim classes.'

Just like the nightclub shooting where the progressives overtly demonstrated that muslims rank higher than gays in the liberal pecking order.

I wonder who ranks higher this time, women or trannys?  My bet is women.  There are just more women than trannys, just like there are more muslims than gays.

As I recall, the scandal wasn't about men disguised as women so much as women taking massive amounts of testosterone to build muscle mass, with the usual side effects.

I remember both were being raised with some accusations that some of the women were actually altered men. With the Cold war craziness going on at the time it wouldn't have surprised me one bit. There was some weird stuff going on that's now considered, by some, "normal"

Man, is this ever an example of what is wrong with the whole "guy pretending to be a girl" athletics thing:

https://twitchy.com/brettt-3136/2020/02/27/piers-morgan-says-transgender-weightlifters-push-for-place-in-2020-tokyo-olympics-is-insane/

That guy looks bigger than a lot of regular guys. How can women not be infuriated over it?

Yet sadly, this insanity is even taking place in Idaho, where a bill to make it illegal for parents to medically alter their prepubescent kids was halted.

A female wrestler has made history by winning a state high school wrestling championship in North Carolina.......She won the 106lb (48 kg) weight class on Saturday.


The radio said she was the top female in her weight class and was allowed to compete against the top boys.  Some of you might know more about this than me.

Try being all for transgender folks having the right to do their thing, but exercising a little common sense like that maybe there are some actual differences and you shouldn't get to play girls sports. It's a fun time.

I'd really like to see them start a transgender sports league.  Then I'd like to observe how the females who became "men" feel about competing against the males who became "women".

106 is a very, very tiny weight.  For males, imagine them not carrying much muscle.  Not to piss on her accomplishment, but the lower weight classes could definitely be more competitive for women.  It's unsurprising to me for wrestling.  Women are often more flexible than men, too.  Imagine those tiny little gymnists or cheerleaders could probably easily train to wrestle in those weight classes.  They're strong AF.
Now, think about a lot of other sports. There's no restriction on weight or size in football, track, etc etc.  Those are going to be super hard for women to be competitive in.  Period.

My take is that Title IX will be revamped to include scope of more than one gender.

The easiest out, when considering whom to destroy, is the taxpayer.  Just create an entire new tier of high school and collegiate sports for neither male nor female participants.  Track already trains and competes in a co-ed methodology, so adding more events to meets for the transexuals to run alone makes a meet take longer but otherwise gives everyone what they "want."  You have to create new locker rooms, and you have meets that run longer, resulting in longer away trips for bus transportation and so on, but it's the least disruptive solution.

The transexuals don't want to race against men.  The women don't want to race against men or transexuals.  The men don't give a *expletive deleted*it who they race against, they just want to see who is the fastest.

Of course, this doesn't resolve the issue with transexual males that actually think it's fair to race against women when they grew up and went though puberty as male.  The only solution there is to slam them over the head with a tempered steel clue bat with the kinesiology studies proving how *expletive deleted*ing stupid and uninformed they are.
