Can't wait to see some guy (ahhh I mean "girl-guy") jack some of those softballs over the wall... or better yet when they smash a softball and it crushes into some actual female's face.
That'll be a nice point of debate.

To the poster Xanax who wants to know how "girl" is defined:
Penis and testes = male.
Vagina and ovaries = female.
You're welcome.

Athletic competition is divided into 2 categories - male and female. This is because if there were only one category biological males would completely dominate athletics and exclude most women from any opportunity to participate in athletics.
Not true. Everyone can participate in track and field regardless of their age or sex. If you mean participating at the elite level (Olmypics etc) then more than 99% of track and field athletes cannot do this anyway probably because they do not have the genetic advantages that the truly elite do have. Why not have more heats in something like the Olympics to give more people an opportunity to compete at that level?
Should we have a non East African category in road races because the East Africans are dominating this sport and excluding most other road racers from an opportunity to win decent prize money?
Like him or not, right-wing blogger Matt Walsh tackled this subject recently:
And the award for Best of Use of Brackets in a Op-Ed piece goes to Matt Walsh:
“In terms of the fairness aspect, I don’t think about that as a father. I only think about, is my [son] happy, healthy and able to participate in what [he] wants to do… [He] got to compete as a girl where [he] feels [he] should compete.â€
The original article in from the State Class M (medium-sized schools) meet. In the State Open, the athlete in question got third in the 100 and 8th in the 200.

The solution is to end separate male and female categories and have a single open category at each level (high school, NCAA, pro). Very simple and completely fair - the fastest people will succeed regardless of sex, gender, gender expression, etc.
This will satisfy Title IX because women will have exactly the same opportunities to compete in the same events as men based purely on merit.
Couldn't the dude at least shave his moustache? I mean, you're not even trying.
We should all be happy that he is now a she and running track, because now, we won't have to worry about this racer undergoing an abortion between heats.
Win win!

But isnt a freshman getting 3rd and 8th in the state open meet against seniors juniors etc pretty atypical? Or is that not how the state open meet runs?

Not only for moustache.
She probably isn't really trying. 12.mid for 100m is really slow, even for girls. Is she not doing her best effort on purpose? Otherwise, where's the athletic advantage? Her times are not good Natonally, even for her are group.

No because the heads of these orgs are putting stupid liberals in the positions of authorities, basically poisoning the field from the top.
Same with these activist judges in California. Nearly impossible to win when the people in authority are the problem.
