Neither the Post nor ESPN will “name” the player, despite his being over 18.

Opposing Real Women’s teams should and will boycott playing against a man.

He is physically dangerous to them.

From the article: “San José State University will continue to support its student-athletes and reject discrimination in all forms . . .”

The dictionary definition of the verb “discriminate”

1). make an unjust or prejudicial distinction in the treatment of different categories of people, especially on the grounds of ethnicity, sex, age, or disability

2) recognize a distinction; differentiate

By the second definition, every university (including SJS) that has separate men’s and women’s athletic teams is engaging in discrimination (and that’s discrimination in a good and rational form, if we’re going to talk about “all forms”).

By the first definition, a judgment as to whether a school that excludes an individual from a women’s team because he has XY chromosomes is unjust will vary from person to person depending on their beliefs in the realms of politics, sociology and science, among other things. It seems clear from the actions of the other teams in the conference that the majority of those involved do not find that course of action unjust and thus discriminatory in that sense.

Completely justifiable as long as Billy ‘identifies’ as an 8-year-old (and Adam Sandler can certainly do a good 8-year-old),

I have an answer to the entire men in women's sports issue that I think can work for all sides. HIGH HEELS. Let me explain. To mitigate the inherent biological advantage a male (or we can concede the term "male at birth" to make them happy), we can mandate that all males who wish to participate in female sports must do so in high heels.

Softball - High Heels
Volleyball - High Heels
Track - High Heels
Downhill Skiing - High Heels

This would allow men to participate alongside women AND make women's sports more entertaining for all! I mean...I'd watch it. Thoughts?
