Girls left in the dust as male-born transgender athletes win state track titles in 5 states

Yes, start suing democrats for their political beliefs.

And here he is, the same idiot posting the same post for the 8300 time. Get a life, you fool.

That’s dumb

Or let trans kids participate in the training and race for the sex they "identify as," but report and count the scores of trans girls (MTF) with the male/open category. They'd get the social benefits of participating with the peers they identify as being "one of," but avoid at least some of the negative attention caused by knocking fully physically female girls down one place

Non-trans girls could collectively benefit from the "pacing" effect of the competition, without fear of paying the price with missing out at regionals, State, scholarships, etc. (Of course "trans women are women, trans girls are girls, no difference whatsoever" advocates wouldn't accept any compromise short of full social pretense. And the next intractable debate would be whether and how the pacing effect of gender inclusion skewed some races' results).

finally, an opinion that everyone can agree is something neither side wants.

If she’s woman enough to run in the race, then she is woman enough to count in the results.

That's abuse of girls and women. Enabling this charade is like supporting ra.pe. The political figures and decision makers pushing this agenda need to be imprisoned and actually held a little accountable. They want the agenda to be reactive, not proactive. More harm will be done before substantive changes and logic are widespread. Hold them accountable for the damage!

Imagine anything in today's house of representatives being so mixed across party lines.

When the time came for the US Senate to vote on the legislation now known as Title IX - formally and originally called the Omnibus Education Amendments of 1972 - on March 1 of that year, support in the Senate turned out to be even more markedly overwhelming than in the House.

88 US Senators voted for Title IX. Only six voted against it.

Three Democratic and three Republican Senators voted against Title IX. Three of each of the two main parties abstained.

(In 1972, the party affiliation of the US Senate was 54 Democratic, 44 Republican, and 2 Other. Harry Byrd was an Independent; James Buckley was a member of the Conservative Party of New York).

The Democratic Senators who voted against Title IX were John Sparkman of AL; Abraham Ribicoff of CT; and David Gambrell of GA.

The Republican Senators who voted Nay were Paul Fannin and Barry Goldwater of AZ; and William Brock of TN.

Democrats who abstained were Rupert Hartke of Indiana; Henry "Scoop" Jackson of WA; and Gale McGee of WY.

Republicans who abstained were Norris Cotton of NH; Karl Mundt of SD; and Robert Stafford of VT.

It's important to keep in mind that in 1972 when the US Congress voted in Title IX, and Nixon signed it into law, the matter of how Title IX would impact school sports was unsettled - and a topic of controversy.

In the years leading up to the passage of Title IX in 1972, the main focus wasn’t on the fact that most schools in the US didn’t offer girls and women the chance to do school sports at all, and that the minority of schools which did offer sports programs for female students only provided girls and women with a couple of sport options - and tended to give women's and girls' sports programs paltry funding, inferior or absent facilities and equipment, little or subpar coaching, and hardly any institutional support.

In 1972, the major concern in the US was all the other kinds of sex discrimination against girls and women that long had been widespread in US education - such as higher admissions standards, and strict quotas limiting the number of female students admitted to graduate programs in fields like medicine, law, business, architecture and engineering.

It took more legislation from Congress, regulations from the executive branch, and a bunch of lawsuits and court decision over the course of the 1970s and 80s to clarify exactly what Title IX would mean for school sports.

Or they can just not compete in competitive sports.

Funny that you assume the democrats pushed this, when that's far from the truth.

I wonder why this would be your assumption, almost as if you've been programmed to believe certain things about certain political parties.

Dems have been against women's best interests since at least the 70's. Hmmm.
