They should, I hope they win
I’ll bet these girls supported the feminist position that women are equal to men before all this started.
A sad state of affairs we are even talking about this.
All thanks to Ovomit.
Start a transgender category and don’t let it be arbitrary which category they can chose to compete in. No category shopping.
Is this an “unintended consequence” of the desire of many elements in society, wanting to prove that they are liberal towards these “transsexual” people?
In this case, to prove that they are liberal, they allowed biological males to compete against biological females in sports, because otherwise, they would have been said to be bigoted against the “transgender” people, and bigoted against “LGBT” overall as well.
I’ve heard that many states, not just Connecticut, allow so called “trans” students, to compete according to their so called gender identity, as opposed to their biological sex.
I hope any young woman who is tempted to go “woke” takes a lesson from this nonsense. In the liberal hierarchy of grievances, women are at the bottom just above straight white men. They don’t want to compete against trangenders? Too bad. Take one for the cause.
and hopefully these girls will see liberalism for what it really is.
Popcorn time.
Why is it you never hear about “transgender” males competing against the males?

Yeah, someone should tell the girls to say “Thanks, Obama.”
High School Girls Sue After Being Forced To Compete Against Transgender Athletes MEN
This crap is going to be on display at this years Olympics. The media will be falling over themselves to tell us what a great thing this is. Seeing democratic polices on display will only help Trumps re-election hopes.
Sort of ironic that the feminists who wanted to be treated like men, are now being shut down by a group of men who wanted to be treated like women.
You could potentially cost a young lady her opportunity to attend college.
Remember when we knew better?

I bet they did not think men and women possess equal strength. That being said, women are equal to men in the eyes of God and under the law. While young men tend to do better in the “objective” skills young women tend to do better on the “subjective” skills in academic performance, there women who are outstanding mathematics, the sciences, etc., just as smart and learned as the most talented men, and there are men whose intuitive and verbal abilities match those of the most able women. Personally, I have noted, now that I am in my senior years, as women age their “objective” skills improve, and men’s “subjective” skills improve, and intelligence seems to becomes more global. I actually think there are some studies which bear this impression out.
In general, men are better at some things, women at others, which is the way God intended things to be and is good for the human race. HOWEVER, intelligence and talents are all relative.
In my youth, when taking the ACT and SAT for college entrance, I scored extremely well in the hard sciences and math, as well or better than the “smartest” boys in my class, who incidentally did not have to answer as many questions correctly as I did to get the same score. The reason being, my smug male friend, back in the day, females had to answer a higher percentage of questions correctly to get the same score as males so get over yourself that you are superior in brain power.
You just possess more physical strength/
I found it ironic that they insist on a “level playing field” when by definition any competition segregated by sex is not “level.”
That said, I’m a firm believer that girls should compete against girls and men against men.
It’s little credit to a man to defeat a woman.
