Boys competing in women's sports can take home the trophy but apparently girls competing in men's sports have to settle for participation ribbons.

If only she'd said she identifies as a boy.

The explanation seems reasonable enough.

It is a non-event, made into something by leftwing media.

Give her the trophy and strictly segregate boys and girls in sports competitions in the future. Same sex classrooms is good too.

No he explained pretty well why she couldn’t get the trophy.

How about the BOYS play on the girls’ team too every year?

Your comment belongs on kos.

Which is shocking for you :)

Well, there is a little more to this.

She played because she was part of a team. That’s kind of normal around here.

She did not win the championship because it was the State Boy’s Tournament. The Girls tournament is in the spring.

If her team had not qualified she would not have been able to play as an individual.

Everyone knows she shot the best in the tournament. I believe the boy’s champion gave her the trophy.

This is not really a big deal. She has her chance to win in the spring.

Her team did not do well.

she knew it was the boys time, therefore she broke the rules, and she should not get the trophy.
I had to look to see who posted what you said as I thought a liberal had come on here, posting crap.

If it’s a boy’s event, why did they even let girls participate?

Now as to her ability to play by exactly the same rules and win, good for her.

It will end up being one of the best things that happened to her golf career. She got noticed. Likely scholarship offers to follow.

There are two logical choices:
  1. have girls’ teams and boys teams, and sex segregation. Or,

  2. have no segregation of the sexes, and untrammeled “survival of the fittest” competition for slots.
If you have no sex segregation, and no boys' teams and girls’ teams, boys will dominate most or all teams, with only the occasional exceptional girl participant.

If you do have sex segregation, why then, have sex segregation. Whether or not it gores you favorite ox in a particular case. Sex segregation enables many girls to participate, but it also - in the exceptional case - prevents a girl from participating in what she would prefer to have the opportunity to do.

Classic case is a girl who is able to star at Little League baseball. Wonderful, for her. But a disappointment for the boy who sits instead of starting if she participates - and a humiliation for every boy who tries to make the team and fails. Not just the one boy otherwise would actually have had that slot.

Whereas back a few months ago a boy identified himself as female, ran in an all girl track meet and won, got trophy.
