How Gender Confusion will Raise the Bar for Title IX
Townhall.com ^ | June 15, 2016 | Lee Culpepper

Posted on 06/15/2016 11:29:06 AM PDT by Kaslin

For high school girls across the country, the competition for college-athletic scholarships is on the verge of ascending to a whole new level.

The 44th anniversary of Title IX is less than two weeks away, but recent events suggest that the face of female athletics is changing forever.

A totally new caliber of athletic prowess is being invented for women’s sports, and ordinary women simply won’t have enough equality to compete.

To the surprise of no mentally stable person ever, women like Bruce Jenner will prove virtually impossible to beat when it comes to antiquated women competing against them for college-athletic scholarships.

Granted, the NCAA and other college affiliations have not yet officially been forced to impose Title IX in a way that allows men to compete as women, but make no mistake about it -- the writing is on the wall.

Thirty states across the country already allow high school boys to compete as girls, and recently a boy in Alaska smoked his competition at the girls’ state track and field championships. Only two girls in the entire state defeated him in his best event, and he became the first boy in Alaska history to win all-state honors as a girl.

Meanwhile, the International Olympic Committee has voted to allow men to compete as women, so long as the men lower their testosterone enough over an approved period of time.

Based on the obvious, even a blind liberal should be able to see where Title IX is headed.

The NCAA already allows females to compete on either the women’s or men’s teams as long as they aren’t taking male hormones. This fairness policy enables gender-confused women who identifying as men to identify as females for scholarship and competition purposes. Of course, if it were not for the quest for fairness, this practice would almost seem like fraud.

Nevertheless, gender-confused women can also compete only as men if they have a medical waiver to take testosterone for their mental disorder. In fact, a current swimmer at Harvard has become the first athlete in NCAA history to meet this description. Of course, she went from being one of the fastest female swimmers in the nation to one of the slowest male swimmers in the pool at Harvard’s practices. But allowing her to take steroids to speed up her slow male times while denying her competition from doing the same naturally seems totally fair to completely delusional people. While the NCAA does not currently permit men to compete as women (unless they actually are women) anyone paying attention can figure out the inevitable solution liberals will come to.

Granted, some college coaches who are traditional-feminist might stick with archaic women to field their teams when the rules do ultimately change, but these outdated idealists will surely end up losing their jobs after they consistently lose to the new brand of women athletes preferred by more progressive coaches and ultimate competition lovers.

Let’s face it, Title IX came to life in 1972 to eliminate gender discrimination in all publicly supported education programs, including athletics. However, because of reality, whenever the government imposes fairness in a naturally unfair world, one group must be punished for cheating during conception.

Over the last 44 years, colleges have decimated non-revenue male teams like wrestling, swimming, diving, and gymnastics in an effort to create more opportunities for female athletes under the requirements of Title IX. In fact, nearly 500 wrestling teams have been dropped since 1972.

Today, only 75 out of 347 NCAA Division I programs have men’s wrestling while nearly 300 of those schools have women’s softball.

Whether more men than women have wanted to play sports has never mattered to rabid Title IX supporters. If a college’s student body is 60 percent female then 60 percent of the athletes are female. Regardless of the various narratives for or against Title IX, proportionality has been the brutal reality of government imposed fairness.

Nevertheless, all of this will soon be history thanks to mental illness.

Without question, the government is going to punish anachronistic women just like it has been punishing traditional men, and the sanctions will all be justified under the guise of not playing favorites. This is simply an uncomfortable consequence of being forced to participate in the insanity of sick politicians.

Meanwhile, differentiating between truly mentally ill men who suffer from a gender delusion, psychosis, or emotional unhappiness from guys who just really want a college scholarship and a chance to play college athletics will probably prove impossible.

People like Professor Ward Churchill, Senator Elizabeth Warren, former NAACP representative Rachael Dolezel, and black activist Shaun King have all recognized the perks of pretending to be something they are not when government fairness is involved.

It’s an immoral no brainer that some males will go to the extreme to take advantage of an athletic scholarship, preferential admissions, and just a chance to play college athletics — all of which wouldn’t exist if they remained men. Whether male athletes become women due to mental illness or pragmatism, their womanhood won’t be fair to the girls they beat out in competition and scholarship offers.

Then again, life isn’t fair. It’s just a lot more unfair when mentally ill people are allowed to impose their twisted ideas of fairness on the rest of us.

Why only gender identity rights?

What about white people who identify as black? Shouldn’t they also get scholarships that have been set aside for blacks?

Men pranksters will soon dominate women’s basketball and volley ball and softball and track and tennis. It will be hilarious to watch. It is all ready happening. If you self identify as a cat ( another physically impossible self identification driven by mental illness) do you get to have a litter box?

no....there was a choice to be made and the big schools choose expanding their football and basketball programs to multi million dollar status...

instead of perhaps reigning in the obscenity that is big college "sports" and keeping the traditional mens sports like wrestling, volleyball, etc, they instead double downed.

I HATE the fact that we won't have really female teams to watch...we are season ticket holders for a local womens college BB and were faithful, but just let them try to get the so called "transgenders" playing with them, and that will be it for us....

Thank you for referencing that article Kaslin. As usual, please note that the following critique is directed at the article and not at you.

Patriots, you need to wake up and get a grip on the idea that everything about Title IX is unconstitutional imo.

Regarding Title IX’s prohibition on discrimination for example, the only race and sex-related rights that the states have amended the Constitution to expressly protect is voting rights as evidenced by the 15th and 19th Amendments. And since INTRAstate school issues have nothing to do with voting rights, the corrupt, post-17th Amendment ratification Congress had no constitutional justification to pass Title IX.

And speaking of intrastate schooling, neither have the states constitutionally delegated to the feds the specific power to regulate, tax and spend for intrastate schooling.

In fact, previous generatons of state sovereignty-respecting justices had clarified that Congress is prohibited from approriating taxes in the name of state power issues, essentially any issue that Congress cannot justify under its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers, deciding policy for intrastate schooling not among those powers.

“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.

State sovereignty-respecting justices had also clarififed that powers that the states haven’t delegated to the feds, expressly via the Constitution, the powers to tax and spend for intrastate schools, and also the power to deal with race and sex discrimination outside the scope of voting rights as examples, are prohibited to the feds.

”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.

So the money that the corrupt feds are threatening to withhold from the schools are arguably state revenues that the feds stole from the states by means of unconstitutional federal taxes.

The states need to get the corrupt, unconstitutional federal middleman out of their schools.

Remember in November !

Patriots need to support Trump by also electing a new, state sovereignty respecing Congress that will work within its Section 8-limited powers to support Trump’s vision for making America great again for everyone, including putting a stop to unconstitutonal federal interference in state affairs like schooling.

Note that such a Congress will also probably be willing to fire state sovereignty-ignoring activist justices.

and does that make you proud?...that men can beat women at sports?..

..are you proud that these men WHO ARE TOO WEAK TO COMPETE AGAINST REAL MEN are taking the spots for real women..

..women that perhaps you might admire like Mary Lou Retton or Mia Lamm or Sharpavova or Peggy Flemming....

sometimes I forget that FR has a whole section of bitter, old men who hate and are jealous of women....that, or they're homosexuals.....

look....half the tax paying citizens of this country are women, perhaps even more.....

they deserve to have half the resources available in college.....

and they deserve to have half the scholarships awarded, and it doesn't make one bit of difference if its a profit making sport or not...because college sports is NOT supposed to be about running a jock mill.....

btw, in college BB this past year, the attendance went down, while the women's attendance went up....

We need to work these things through the Constitution. Unless we’re talking about one of the military academies, the feds shouldn’t be giving scholarships to anybody attending an INTRAstate school. Only the states have the constitutional authority to tax and spend for such a purpose unless they amend the Constitution to give the feds that power.

And the states would have more revenues to pay for scholarships if the states were to put a stop to unconstitutional federal taxes.

Why don't you be honest and post the actual numbers. Playing percentages is only intended to mislead. Kinda like Globull Warming math.

Title IX is Communism In Action. It is Communist Redistribution:

Title IX is about equality of outcome, which is tyranny, since the government must forcibly fabricate artificial fairness and categorically impose it upon all.

The Bill of Rights is about equality of opportunity, which is liberty, since all the natural factors in an individual’s life, both favorable and unfavorable, are allowed to play their part.

A local radio announcer (former female college athlete) admitted it was possible for a guy to compete as a girl in the NCAA. She said the only tests she took were for performance-enhancing drugs.

This was back when Brittany Griner unexpectedly left the Olympic team. There were rumors that she was really a guy.
At the time, the IOC had more stringent rules than the NCAA.
