Over 4,000 female athletes have called upon the NCAA Board of Governors to protect women’s sports by barring male athletes from competing.
The advocacy group Our Bodies, Our Sports reportedly delivered a “coalition letter signed by its 12 member organizations from across the political aisle demanding the NCAA take immediate action to repeal its discriminatory policy that allows male athletes to compete in women’s sports — taking trophies, roster sports, playing time, resources, and opportunities to compete from women,” according to the Independent Women’s Forum.
The coalition of letters were delivered before the NCAA Board of Governors could meet on Thursday, April 25, where the organization will consider its policy on males participating in women’s sports. The meeting follows a lawsuit filed by activist Riley Gaines (Gaines et al. v NCAA et al.). The current policy allows males to compete in women’s sports, provided their testosterone levels have been lowered to a specific requirement.
Tennis player Martina Navratilova, founding member of the Women’s Sports Policy Working Group, said that men and women should not be competing in sports.
“I practiced and competed against men in mixed doubles during my decades on the professional tennis tour. But it didn’t take those experiences to convince me that our common sense is correct: men and women are built so differently that we require our own sport category, to win, to make money, and to create a legacy. I will fight for every girl to have the right to aspire to great accomplishments through sport, and I hope the NCAA will, too,” she said.
As Breitbart News reported this week, The Biggest Loser star and celebrity trainer Jillian Michaels came out against men competing in women’s sports, saying the evidence “irrefutably” undercuts the transgender cause...

A real trailblazer, he was.
Women’s sports are irrelevant.
If you “protect women’s sports” by carve-out legislation that leaves intact in law the premise that men can become women legally just as long as they don’t compete with other women in sporting events you are giving away the major premise for a frivolity.
In other words, the only correct legal position is that a man is a man and a woman is a woman, whatever damage has been done to their bodies or minds and whatever activity relating to the rest of society they choose to engage in.
Women can vote against this in November. We'll see how many do.

Would accomplish nothing. Only a change in the title IX rules as dictated by the Biden administration will affect this. Otherwise, the trannies will just sue for inclusion.
But...but...muh abortions!
Riley Gaines was one of the top female college swimmers, but she says her husband was also a swimmer in college but mainly in the "also ran" category. Still, she said, if they swam together against one another, he would beat her easily.
I hope they come together on this.
You already are accepting the false major premise - voting can change reality.
If no women vote against it, or if every woman votes against it, men are still men and women are still women.
Localizing this within the sphere of politics is a CATEGORY ERROR.

This is the foundation of our civilization. Give it up for what? Girl's volleyball?
Could this be the beginning of the end of this insanity?
I keep saying women could end this in a microsecond if they just refused to participate.
This is the only way. It has landed on the shoulders of these young women. They will have suspend their dreams and not compete en masse to stop this BS. It sucks and it’s unfair but it is the only thing that will stop it.
You seem to have missed my point. Women can vote against Biden's changes to Title IX by voting against Biden in November.
Will they, and will they be enough to overcome the dem and RINO vote manufacturing machine? We'll find out soon.
they need to take this all the way to the supreme court, it is a clear violation
And you missed my point.
This question does not belong in the realm of politics.

SSSSSSSSSSSS, I think I hear helicopters?
helicopters' comin'
helicopters's comin' (helicopters' a-comin')
Oh, you better hide Commie
Your Commie lovin' heart
helicopters' a-comin', and the cards say
A long fall.....
Sorry girls. Men are better women athletes than women.... Embrace the suck, courtesy of the democrat party.
It’s curious that ‘physical safety’ was not in the list. Women are being INJURED by men in sports.
Then there’s the other one not mentioned, for obvious reasons - SAFETY FROM SEXUAL ASSAULT.
Society has gone insane, that we’re even having this discussion is insane. Who is controlling this narrative?
This is wonderful. Hopefully 400,000 more sign on.
This is just when FJB is ramming the tranny crap down the throat of every school in the country.
I SO long for the normal world before the perverts came out of the closet and began dominating everything. I’m watching the “Death Vally Days” TV show on Amazon right now. It first aired in 1952, ran 17 seasons, and every episode is a true story. It is so wonderful to glimpse a normal pre-pervert America (even though highly romanticized). America was hungry for normalcy back then having endured two world was and the depression. So many of us hunger for normalcy again.
The goons running the NCAA are Truth deniers.
Bravo! also to Morton Blackwell and The Leadership Institute for their 100% backing of Riley Gaines!
This question doesn't belong in a sane nation, but here we are.
