“Should” no longer matters in the Insane State of Connecticut. The girls can complain, but in the end they will be forced to bow down to the will of the abnormal, delusional individuals who think they’re women.

Actually, I love this crap! I want more of it! Every time a male delusionally calling himself a female competes against a woman, everyone is forced to examine two contradictory propositions:

1. Men and women are different enough, on average, to justify having separate teams for men’s and women’s sports.

2. A man can become a woman and therefore must be allowed to play on the women’s team as if he were a woman.

Choose one.

No. Inherently unfair.

In the spirit of new math, and awards for participation,

I chose them both.

No. The Commie Left HATES competition. Men competing against women destroys fair competition.

Well, there’s nothing to prevent the girls doing the same thing to the guys. Is there?

I say let the "transgenders" compete in women's sports.

Better yet, eliminate all forms of separate sports competition in any government-funded organization. If women can serve in combat, then surely they can compete with men in the 100-meter spring, basketball, weightlifting, etc.

No justice, no peace, man.

It isn’t really an important issue.

When women want their own events and facilities they will support men having their own events and facilities.

Women created this mess.

When women work to undo the damage they have done and to make amends then there can be a discussion. But that is going to be a prerequisite for a lot of men, and that is not negotiable.

Robert Heinlein wrote that any idea which is wrong if carried to its logical conclusion is also wrong in its inception.

Karma baby. Its what’s for dinner.

Since the girls have been doing to the guys since the late nineteen seventies it’s pretty obvious that there is not.

This isn’t new.
It merely turned reciprocal.
One hundred percent of men and women who didn’t want this railed against it in the seventies and haven’t stopped in the intervening years.

Those who were silent brought this about by enabling it.

And those who were silent and desire to treat this as some new issue and do not admit fault and work to restore the things which were destroyed in preparation - schools and colleges for men, sports for males only, men’s clubs...well...

Each and every one of those is a filthy, vomit covered diarrhea smelling hypocrite. They really need someone to stand with their face in a public place, call them out on their wrong, explain why it was wrong and then they need to go away and contemplate their part in bringing this about.

If they want to have 150 different “genders” then people who “identify” as one of those genders compete with other crazies of the same “gender.”

It’s not rocket science.

That’s correct. I want them to run the board, and defeat every biological female in every sport, until all the females, not males, demand that the transgenders be thrown out.

Well here we are talking about girls in high school, not adult female Lefty voters. IMO, there is a lot of over the top hostility towards women being expressed on this thread. There are tens of millions of fantastic conservative women out there. Why not just be supportive of this obviously valid lawsuit?

The universal, world-wide ruling for sports competitions should be based on the gender at the moment of birth. Hermaphos will have to undergo a chromosome test for determination.

Hell yes! Just get rid of gender and race completely, people are just human. Want to have a power lifting contest? Great, let humans enter. Have 100 seats open in Harvard Law School? Great, let humans compete for the spots.

“Why not just be supportive of this obviously valid lawsuit?”

I agree. I know some wonderful conservative women. My experience, and my bias is that liberal women outnumber conservative women by a wide margin. A key demographic for Democrats is “soccer moms”. In my own little myopic view, I figure, let them feel the pain of their choices. If that brings them back to reality, great. If not, then they deserve what comes their way.

The defective humans sometimes called transgenders should not be allowed to breathe as they pollute society worse than the most prolific CO2 emitter

Could it be a states’ rights issue and let the states decide? Then the states that were stupid enough to vote for politicians that bought into this crap can pay the price while states that called BS would just go about their business.

Ah, my perfect little world where actions have consequences... /s
