Minnesota high schools may soon be affected by a proposed policy that would allow students to participate in sports based on their gender identity rather than their biological sex.

On Dec. 4, the board of directors of the Minnesota State High School League will vote on the policy.

According to the draft of the policy, titled “Gender Identity Participation in MSHSL Activities:”

if a student can provide evidence of a “sincerely held” gender identity that differs from the “gender assigned at birth,” then “the student will be eligible to participate in MSHSL activities consistent with the student’s gender-related identification for the balance of the student’s high school eligibility.”

What could go wrong?

I'm soooooo glad my kids are adults now.

I locked horns with a supervisor of mine years ago who was a leftie. He knew nothing other than sports. I asked him if women should play in the NFL. He didn’t answer. I pressed him and asked him again. He tap danced around and never could answer the question. He walked away which is what most libs do when they can’t win the argument.

Find me a 16 year old boy who doesn’t feel he should be in the girl’s locker room with the girl’s team?

The logical end state of Women’s Title IX Sports in America.

Every woman now has an equal opportunity to participate in any an all sports activities that men have available to play on.

And now any man gets to claim he gender identifies as female so they can win a spot on those Title IX mandated women’s teams.

The circle of gender driven insanity is now finally come full circle.

It may not make sense, but it does kind of make poetic justice.

“...if a student can provide evidence of a “sincerely held” gender identity that differs from the “gender assigned at birth,”

You can’t prove that. This is stupid.

[Boogieman]

Bwahaha. I can foresee some men taking advantage of this to coast to easy victories in the women’s leagues, while few women will try going in the other direction.

HELLOOOOOOOOO, RED TEES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Doesn’t that take all the fun out of it?

I guess in some ways, yes, in other ways , no

Notice, they didn’t say “prove”, just “provide evidence”. Okay, here is a photo of me wearing a dress at the mall. Here’s one of me in a two-piece bikini at the beach. That’s evidence.

Egads man, you too?

Although this is a sick proposal, I remember my 7th grade hormones raging checking out the cheerleaders; I'd lie just for my own selfish desires.

Well, it worked so well in the Olympics for the East Germans.

I thought scientifically the sex of a child is determined By the sperm at conception. At birth the adults simply report what nature has already determined.

HAHAHA How stupid are these people? Now every woman’s sport in MN will have an asterisk next to it. Was there a bearded 6’5” self-identified woman on the basketball squad?

[Politicalkiddo]

Yeah, that’s still stupid.
