If he was really like a woman, he would have been frantically plucking all signs of a mustache away. But he is just a liar and a cheat.

Not a girl.

The TERFs could win this argument before 2020, if they would nationalize their movement to draw in all women, in order to defeat identity politic politicians.

Et sequentia, the sun sets on Bizzaro World the day a 7-2 Court assembles...

I see where this is inevitably going to go.

Under competing political and legal pressure between "transgender" men who want to compete with women, and feminists who realize that women will disappear from every competitive sport entirely, school boards and universities are simply going to shut down their sports programs completely.

How can a school meet its Title IX obligations under Federal law if its men's teams are filled with men and its women's teams are filled with men claiming to be women?

My husband and I were just talking. Perhaps “Caitlyn” Jenner should start competing again, and this time, he can win as a “woman”.

Sounds about right. It can go to the Olympics again.

One feminist has already recognized the implications of this on Title IX and begun to rally the troops. In response to Obama's transgender bathroom mandate last year, Kara Dansky of the Women’s Liberation Front or (WoLF), appeared on Tucker Carlson’s show.

“We think that ‘women and girls’ are a meaningful category worthy of civil rights protection,” she said. “If we define sex, under Title IX, to mean gender identity, what we’re essentially saying is that ‘women and girl’ can mean anyone who self-identifies as ‘women and girl,’ which makes the category ‘women and girls’ meaningless as a category.”

Old article...Cromwell will have their local elections in November like all CT towns (some small towns in CT had elections in May), but I’m going to watch the school board election to see if there’s a switch...

Wait until girls/women want to play on men’s teams, many can out shoot some of these male jocks, and have the height to do it. Many are much better free throw shooters too.

TN Vol girls under Pat Summit won big games against big time schools, with 6ft or taller young women.

That will never happen. Even the best women's teams would be hard-pressed to beat a mediocre men's team in any major sport.

The U.S. women's national hockey team -- comprised of current collegiate players and former collegiate players in their 20s -- included some games against men's teams in their Olympic preparations in 2014. They lost about half the games they played against high school boys teams.

Just think about that for a second. The U.S. women's national hockey team -- comprised of the best female adult hockey players in the country -- plays at a level comparable to a high school boys team comprised of local players. The women's national team would have been destroyed by the boys Under-18 national team.

To me the really funny thing about all this 'trans' stuff is that it is going to absolutely destroy Title 9.

Personally, I have no real problem with this. Unfortunately, nothing is going to be allowed to destroy college football. There is actually money involved there.

Geno has his women’s practice against guys. I guess they (UConn’s women’s) could beat small college men’s team, but Duke men’s would beat them in a close game...
