The argument needs to be framed as individuals who have been significantly exposed to a known performance enhancing substance (testosterone) should be prohibited from competition with those who have never been so exposed.

This would exclude some XX persons as well as most, but not all, XY persons.

Make it about the performance enhancer NOT biological sex.

Perhaps the legal profession realized the danger of bringing a lawsuit in a case that might -- if the Constitution and applicable Federal statutes are applied correctly -- end up not only with the plaintiffs LOSING the case, but with the end of female sports, period.

I'd like someone in the legal profession to explain to me how the law could possibly treat women and girls competing separately in "public" sports events differently than it treats segregated bathrooms.

Should protect girls and boys sports from each other and definitely the trans-groups.

LOL! I suppose even liberals have their hierarchy of how to rank their causes. The irony is when one group votes against their better self-interest.

“Next the liberals will divide all competition by skin color and religion.”

This is sounding like a Monty Python track meet.

As it turns out I am a lawyer. However I don’t really think this is a legal issue. The bottom line is that if women don’t stand up for their own rights then no one else is going to do so for them. They need to make a stink. If they did that, then this would stop. If women don’t insist that they are entitled to segregated bathrooms without having to share them with men who claim they are women, then non-gender specific bathrooms will become the rule. If they complain, then it will stop. That is why I support what these girls are doing.

Excellent! It’s about time for SOMEBODY to speak up. Now if all the rest of the students and the parents of students all joined in, they might be able to fix the problem.

As a lifelong Phillies fan, I’ll always remember him giving up a game winning grand slam to Mariano Duncan in 1993, when he pitched for St. Louis.

Women’s rights vs. Transgender rights. What are the Liberals going to do now? They have really backed themselves into a corner.

Knowing the liberal mind, I'm going to bet that they double-down on the retardedness, and come up with something even more ridiculous.

I have to say that it is time girls decided to fight. I’m impressed by the girls (one from a small City near the New York state line, One is a large town that is a suburb of Hartford and the third is a small town that is ruralish). Amazing. Hope other girls will join...

Sad for the girls but womankind brought this sh*tstorm of Feminism that now devours women. It may be too late to be “woke” and “walk away” from this new normal of post-Obamaism.
