while watching a little league baseball game with 12-13 yr olds, there was a girl on the opposing team,

My 13yo grandson’s opposing team had a girl on it...she wasn’t bad and what with the league etc she probably earned her spot on the team.
She was playing 2nd base and did a full body ‘block’ on it (a very foolish move) and the kid that slid in came up short on his slide.
My grandson, very matter of factly stated “If she or anyone tries to block me out like that, I am going through her”.
His grandmother (my x) chastised him - you just can’t go go after her like that...My daughter, to her credit “Mom, leave him alone...she is on the field, obviously doesn’t know how to play the position and I would also take her out”.
Nothing malicious, just playing the game to win.
Naturally I had absolutely NO problem with his assessment of the situation.
Except that his grandmother was right; the situation should not have arisen. Girls should not play boys (men) in varsity athletics. It's just not right, for reasons civilized people have understood for 3000 years and more. The people who are pushing this are Gramscian long-marchers and they're doing it to screw up society.
Ixnay to the original question.
