The athletic association that governs most of New Jersey's high school sports has updated its policy to allow biological male students to play on girls sports teams and vice versa without having to provide proof or some sort of documentation of their gender dysphoria.
On Wednesday, the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association executive committee approved a policy that allows transgender students to simply notify their school administration if they desire to change genders without required medical consultation.
"A transgender student, defined as a student whose gender identity differs from the student's sex assigned at birth, shall be eligible to participate in accordance with either their birth sex or in accordance with their gender identity, but not both," the policy explains.
Additionally, the policy states that transgender student athletes may also be granted permission to use banned substances deemed required for hormone therapy if they submit for consideration from a NJSIAA medical review officer.

I had a youth “instructional” team once. We did not keep score yet every 4 year old on that team knew who “won”. It was a legit endeavor and all the parents were onboard with the “no-competition” concept. But all 4 year olds are competitors and lawyers.
Well lets see if the NFL gets rid of the scoreboard.
I was born in '69 and feel the best days of this country are far behind. I rarely recognize much of the social aspect and administration of the USA.
One of your daughter's team should "accidentally" miss the ball and deliver the kick to TWO balls. That should slow him down some!
The world has gone insane.
What sort of drugs will these young people be allowed to take? Could it change their performance?
In any case, we are scr*wing with our young people’s psychologies. This PC ridiculousness has gone over the edge.
I coached my son in 5-6 year olds youth soccer. The league told us there were no standings. It was instructional. I knew, secretly, we had the best record in the league. And 1 minute after the end of the last game of the season, the 5 year olds were screaming, “we’re the champions!”. They knew.
Kids aren’t stupid. They keep track, even if adults pretend that there are no winners or losers.
One of the best trips we ever took was to Montreal to participate in the provincial playoffs for my son’s baseball team.
Learning how to win and lose with respect, honor and dignity is a great lesson for children. The two teams always formed lines to shake each other’s hands.

In other words, actual girls "transitioning" to ersatz maleness will be allowed to take testosterone and other anabolic steroids.
Those drugs would give the wannabe trannie girls a huge unfair advantage over undoped competitors. That's why steroids, and other performance-enhancing drugs are banned in competitions.
These rules are likely to result in many female H.S. athletes taking P.E.D.s, just to have a hope of competing against all the males and doped-up girls. That might get them sports scholarships to universities; but, they would not be qualified to compete in the Olympics, etc.
All of this because some kid 20 years ago in the schoolyard got hit in the face with a dodgeball
Why do they sound like a Tumblr LGBTABCDEFG+ activist?
Only a Silly Pussy wimpy whatever male would even want to play sports with girls over the age of 10
Sorry women and girls. Left-wing politics operates on a ranking system of identity politics, and you are outranked by those claiming “transgender” status.
(and all are outranked by Muslims)
If you are a boy and you suck at sports, take heart, you can always join the “girls” team and be a superstar!
Rename it wimpy guy sports.
There was a boy named Yearwood at Cromwell High (CT) that switched to the girls track team this year. He suddenly became unbeatable and won a couple of state titles. His winning times were still slower than the boys he previously ran with. Oh, and the girls and parents had to happily celebrate his bravery and accomplishment. Not all were joyfully fleeced....
“Oh, and the girls and parents had to happily celebrate his bravery and accomplishment. Not all were joyfully fleeced....”
Right.
And that brings up the problem that some girls that would have rightly gone to state, were no longer able.
Just like pretty soon, girls/ladies, that would have made an Olympic team will no longer because they will be beat out by a man.
I can hardly wait to watch female Olympics gymnastics, taken over by men. What an enjoyment that will be - NOT!
More LIEberal INSANITY!
