Yes let’s definitely cater to the far less than 1% of the population suffering from mental illness at the expense of everyone else in the name of totally discrediting morality and destroying America
“Yes let’s definitely cater to the far less than 1% of the population...
This whole thing started with the federal funding of school athletic teams. And it has overstepped it’s intent. I have no problem with the government carrying this intent this way. But (!) The government that makes this decision to allow the mixing of competitors based upon identifying, should be held accountable for the funds shift and will have to transfer the fund adjustment to cover the title IX determination. And as it is their decision to do this without the vote of the people, they shouldn’t charge the people with the expense of the action. If they are going to poach it, the cost will have to come out of the earmarked funds for the gender based programs.
The original title IX did not create separate funds. Title IX of the Education Amendments Act of 1972 is a federal law that states: “No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.”
It displays that gender could not be a basis for denying competition, not to create programs that are gender based. And at that time, if you didn’t receive federal funding, it didn’t even apply.
So if they create funding based upon gender participation of a sport, make the sport receive the residual. And if there is no program for the sport, they don’t get funds for it or they create it. Men can play such sports as women’s softball by identification as there is no men’s softball program. Men’s field hockey is another one. If there are no programs, then they will have to be made or the men will be allowed to participate with the women.
On a bigger note, what happens to scholarships? With the emphasis on winning, how many women will be getting scholarships if men are available with gender related physical skills? Remember, this has nothing to do with gender, just competition. This is going to put women’s sports back 50 years or out of existence with nothing but men playing them. So where is the gain? There isn’t when it starts to decrease the amount of funds to women student athletes which the men will now receive. There goes an education for a vast majority of women that use the programs for that education.
A recent study by the NCAA concluded that less than 2% of college athletes continue on to professional sports. At any given time, there are around 460K student athletes that are holding spots in their respective sports at college level. That will be a lot of scholarship funds that would have been used for women student athletes who haven’t a chance to go pro and are using the funds for an education when those funds will be handed back to men athletes. So what was accomplished with title IX? Now...nothing. It’s just made it full circle.
