New threat to 2nd A?

You may very well be right. Wonder if at the high school level that is even an issue that happens? Every example at the high school level I have ever heard of was boy-to-girl.

I have heard of G to B, but not associated with sports.

I don't have a solution. Heck, I'm not sure there is a "fair" solution out there. I will also admit that I have a much harder time with my daughter losing to a dude than she does. There's a lot to be said that old dogs don't learn new tricks, and that some "isms" are best solved through generational attrition.

I'm sure there are G-to-B athletes playing against biological males, and I'm sure there are a lot of B-to-G athletes playing against biological females that don't happen to be top of their sport, and in both cases most people don't care. I'm glad I wasn't playing against any G-to-B athletes in high school because I wasn't (an am not) particularly good at anything and I'm sure they would've kicked my ass. I think if I would have derived my happiness from sports performance, I wouldn't have been very happy regardless of who I was up against.

Follow the Olympics. All the Y chromosomes compete against each other.

Has any State banned a transgender athlete from participating in the division of their actual gender? Seems to me that would be the starting point.

Idaho is restricting transgender girls and women from playing on female sports teams in public schools, colleges, and universities, requiring teams to be based on biological sex at birth.

This one has sure taken a turn.

The economy is great. My investment portfolio is way up

Gas has come way down in my area

Fact check again. Hell, Even Warren Buffet's portfolio is down.

Would any guy here make the decision to live their entire life as a woman, take hormone blockers, potentially have surgery, just to be a women's sports star? Even if it was aspirations of going pro, the earnings potential in women's sports is like a hundredth of men's sports. So if you start with the baseline assumption that they're making these decisions with sports not being the driving factor, there has to be some way to let them participate in doing something they love. I get that it's not fair, but I guess it's a good primer for life after high school where nothing is fair and there's always going to be someone doing better than you because of circumstances outside your control. But I'm with you, I acknowledge it's a complicated subject and not one that I have a really strong stance on.

Ego. It's worse than greed. Otherwise why do competitive sports at all?

Its amazing how many people play along when something this rare does come out of the weeds. I hope they all realize its probably the trolliest of trolls effin with em. Oh well its cheap entertainment.

The next Q'Anon?

I saw something a couple years back that said the fastest woman in the world at like the 100m run could be beat by like 182 different high school level male athletes. The 2 machines just aren’t built the same

My sophomore year of HS I was on the basketball JV team. Boys JV played the girl varsity team in practice. We destroyed them. They had a hard time dribbling past half court. Blocked their shots, stole the ball etc. The coaches kept restricting what the boys could do to try to make it an even game. The restrictions riddled the boys team down to 4 versus 5. Boys still dominated the game. We were an average boys team.

Girls basketball today is far ahead of where it was when most of us were in HS!

How? Anyone in the broader US based stock market should be up since Trump's inauguration. I wouldn't give Trump much credit but the market is still up considerably.

Hell, i remember training at acceleration MN (hockey treadmill deal that helped me a ton) as an 8th or 9th grader next to a notable womens team USA hockey player. My sprints were at least as fast/difficult as hers. I didn't even make varsity a year or 2 later as a sophomore.. Womens hockey has gotten better in the 25ish years since but i still watch team USA and the pace/skill feels like watching MN HS hockey.

Agree. The problem lies in how much better it could be doing if not for tariffs and other market depressing actions.

Look at the performance of US total stock market indexes vs total international market indexes over the last year to see how Trump has hurt us.

$195B tax on the U.S. citizens, approximately $1k per household. However, other changes put money potentially in pockets - fuel price reductions and tax reductions. A lot of changes that wash out parts of both sides. The higher the income, the better your finances have reacted to the positive side of the changes.

Deficit continues to grow.

My wife and I caught a girl's varsity basketball game last night, and the warm ups for a boy's game. Our granddaughter plays the trombone in the pep band, so that was the reason.

There were a couple of girls who had good ball handling skills. One was very good, handled without ever looking down at the ball, behind the back, what ever she wanted to do. The game was played entirely below the rim. The players struggled to get good looks, since the game was very two dimensional.

When the boys came out, multiple players on each team were dunking with as much creativity as their talent allowed. It was pretty obvious that the worst boy on either team would have been the best player on the court, in the girl's game.

Watching the girls play was enjoyable. They should be able to compete with their peers.
