Just wait for transgendered men to join the women’s sports team.

It is the end of woman’s sports...

Don't care.

Ignore the queers. They've had their 15 minutes of fame. Now they're old news.

So what the hell is this thing again? A dude pretending to be a girl or some girl acting like a guy?

My English is firmly set in 20th century mode and can’t process this BS newspeak.

Yes an a wrap male tennis player would win the national title in women’s tennis.
Other sports a given as well.
Finally a large group that might unite against such insanity.

let's hope it happens, soon. Nothing against woman's sports, but I love studying unintended consequences of progressive-left policies.

This isn't going to turn out well for her.

She is trying to compete with a woman's body, as developed over her lifetime, against men with the full male equipment (not the obvious stuff, but the muscle mass, bone density, etc.)

After all this fanfare, she will be quietly dropped from the team.

MMA fighter Rhonda Rousey is beyond tough, and she was challenged by a guy who is now claiming to be a woman. And Rhonda flat out said “No, I’m not going to fight someone who went through puberty as a man.”

So if Harvard gave it a scholarship, are they counting it as male or female for title IX?

All the guys on the team were all in favor of adding this person to the team??,,Really??? In today’s social climate on LGBT issues does anyone feel free to speak freely??? Due to fear the team members said they were all in.

So can men now claim to be women inside and thus qualify for Title IX scholarships?

Initially he planned to stay on that team but had mixed feelings about it - he wanted to swim, but he also wanted to embrace his identity.

If "he" has two X chromosomes, and if "he" has a vagina instead of a penis, then SHE is still a woman. (For that matter, even if she has already undergone the adadyctomy procedure, she is still a woman.)
