What happens when it’s only men playing women’s sports? And, why, if men and women are the same, are there so few women trying to play in men’s sports?

The fact that sheeple need/want the President and Fed.gov to expound like some kind of Ancient King or Dalai Lama on something as stupid if biological boys can play on girls soccer or swimming teams in East Moosepatch Distric Schools - shows to me the Republic is already dead.

It’s “fake gender”, not trans gender.

Perhaps the question should be phrased this way: “Do you think it’s fair to deprive a woman of an athletic scholarship because a man is occupying a spot on a team that otherwise would have gone to that woman?”
