This is so out of line, with males winning state championships and more, including scholarships. And who loses? The real women of the country.
Woman have sold out their own and thrown away decades of work for equality, but yet sit in silence when it counts. These women should be ashamed for degrading the meaning of womanhood. The worst abusers are the women who have succeeded in sports without males, stepping out to support trans. Of course, this is because they won’t ever have to be degraded by competing with men.
Remember in 2017, when the USWNT played a scrimmage against the FC Dallas Under-15 boys academy team and lost 5–2. I need to say no more, and of course, we never hear about that.
Now for the kicker in all of this. I believe the Olympics or most of the events will no longer allow trans women to compete with females. At least this committee resulted in common-sense rules - a man cannot be a woman. So, if we, the U.S., allow trans people on our Olympic teams, they will be disqualified, and somewhere along the line, a woman will be passed over for a man and won’t be able to meet their dreams. You can’t make this stuff up. All IMO.

“A self-proclaimed transgender West Virginia athlete has won the race to claim a state championship before potentially facing a ban for being a male competing in female sports.
Becky Pepper-Jackson, 15, a sophomore at Bridgeport High School, won the state Class AAA shot put competition, according to the Charleston Gazette-Mail.
His winning throw was more than two feet beyond that of the second-place finisher.
Pepper-Jackson has spent the last five years fighting to compete against females, helped by the ACLU of West Virginia, which filed a lawsuit on his behalf in 2021. The U.S. Supreme Court has allowed him to compete against females, pending a final ruling.
“I know how hurtful a law like this is to all kids like me who just want to play sports with their classmates, and I’m doing this for them,” Pepper-Jackson has said. “Trans kids deserve better.”
When the case to enforce a West Virginia law that bans males from female teams was argued before the U.S. Supreme Court in January, Michael Williams, West Virginia’s solicitor general, said “biological sex matters in athletics in ways both obvious and undeniable.”
“[Pepper-Jackson] says that West Virginia schools can no longer designate teams by looking to biological sex,” Williams said. “Instead, schools must place students on sports teams based on their self-identified gender.”
Criticizing that as “backwards logic,” Williams said it makes Title IX “into a law that actually denies those opportunities for girls.”
“The law is indifferent to gender identity because sports are indifferent to gender identity,” Williams said.
West Virginia Republican Gov. Patrick Morrisey said “it’s just plain wrong to allow a boy to participate and win a girls’ sporting event.”
