“The college said it plans to pursue a “phase-in process” for transgender athletes.”

It’s time the NCAA and other sports bodies change the rules to reflect biology instead of gender. Sports should be XX/XY, not determined how you feel emotionally.

Maybe no pressure, but I’m betting there was one mother of a quid pro quo.

Probably discovered that swimsuits don’t hide erections.

Just make a third category - ‘Men who can’t cut it as men’.

Maybe they weren’t going to let him use the same locker room. Winning first place wouldn’t be nearly as interesting without that incentive for a guy.

Training trannys takes about four years to complete. Go straight to the pros.

Rather than wave the gay flag, these jerks should have a clown horn to honk when they are in the vicinity.

Why can’t they just adopt a separate class for these “undecided” folks?

The college admin look like fools over this. Can we now admit there is no such thing as “transgender”? It has become tiresome. That is half the articles here.

Maybe they should have three competitive groups, such as Female, Male as well as Transgender, whatever that may turn out to be. be

Certainly a sick thing about American culture nowadays is the rush to send virtue signals.

I hope you’re joking. These males should not be accomodated in any way at all. Either they compete against other men or not at all. The “3rd category” is a ridiculous pander that fails to acknowledge biological reality.

The girls on that team have to put up with getting their dreams of excelling in athletic competition shoved aside even thought they’re paying

Roanoke:

Tuition & Fees for 2023-2024
Full Time, Year
Total $36,494

That’s pared down to no living expenses straight what they’re paying.

I tell any kid complaining about anything re college- professors tgat are inadequate, roommates foisting their needy disgusting boyfriends into the dorm room, anything- that kid is a consumer tge college owes them as the recipient of that money, customer service, rules and refs

This is not that.

We don’t need government to get involved. Stay out of it and let it play itself out.

It’s downright stupid allowing this to happen. If the women won’t stand up for themselves it’s on them. Riley Gains has a following. Let it grow at it’s own pace if it does at all. Let the spectators turn away-what’s left of them.

The women and their parents. Parents don’t guide their kids through these things. What are they so busy doing

These women are paying. The school should be held to account. So many wimps.

The moment women refuse to participate, this insanity will stop, but not until then.

Coaches have a responsibility to protect their swimmers, but it appears they value winning more than anything. So much for “building character.” A parent’s first question to a coach on a recruiting will be whether he or she will allow men to compete against women.

Those sickos and the liberals would NEVER agree to that.

Those Buffalo Bill freaks are mentally ill and should be treated like the demented lunatic pariahs that they are and put on the side for people to gawk and laugh at them.
