Female Athletes Sue NCAA Over Transgender Competitors in Sports
The Free Press ^ | 3/14/24 | Francesca Block

Posted on 03/14/2024 10:34:26 AM PDT by CFW

Over a dozen female athletes are suing the National Collegiate Athletics Association for letting transgender athletes compete against them and use female locker rooms in college sports.

At the center of the class-action lawsuit is Lia Thomas, the trans athlete who dominated the 2022 NCAA Swimming Championships while a student at the University of Pennsylvania. The suit states that both the NCAA and Georgia Tech, which hosted the event, knowingly violated Title IX, the federal statute that guarantees equal opportunity for men and women in college education and sports.

The lawsuit, the first federal action of its kind, seeks to change the rules, rendering any biological males ineligible to compete against female athletes. It demands the NCAA revoke all awards given to trans athletes in women’s competitions and “reassign” them to their female contenders. It also asks for “damages for pain and suffering, mental and emotional distress, suffering and anxiety, expense costs and other damages due to defendants’ wrongful conduct.”

Cheating is not acceptable in any NCAA sport except when it involves mentally ill, delusional “men”, sick b@stards that they are.

I think Title IX is in general a bad law but if these women can use it to beat off these trannies, I’m all for it.

Good. This all could have been so simple. They could have said, “yes, sex is different from gender, but men’s and women’s sports are predicated on sex, not gender, for obvious reasons of physical construction of the male vs female bodies.”

Done and done.

I wish them well. Or maybe I just don't GAF. LOL.

I don't see how women's sports survive this whole "transgender" charade.

1. If the fake women win, real women will inevitably stop competing.

2. If the real women win, then the applications of Title IX to scholastic sports will be consigned to the dustbin of history when gender-segregated sports are determined to be as illegal as race-segregated bathrooms and buses.

My prediction is that NIL will make Title IX unnecessary for the good looking women.

“In the meantime they should all refuse to compete when a dude is involved.“

That is really the only way. Its a big ask given what is at stake for them but it is what must be done. The cannot rely on the courts to help them. There are too many woke scumbags in the Judiciary.

Great, it was time to do things seriously; Now if these people are confused about their gender, someone should organize sports competitions just for them (it would be comical if they competed in drag queen outfits)

"men’s and women’s sports are predicated on sex, not gender, for obvious reasons of physical construction"

That makes such a good point. I can't believe I had not thought of such an obvious point.

I think the team's coach, and not the individual women, should be the one to announce that the team will not compete against other teams that have a biological male on their roster. Here's why: The women on the team are most likely attending college on an athletic scholarship. If they refuse to compete, they could risk losing that scholarship. If the coach is the one to take this stand, the women on the roster should not be penalized for this decision.

“For most Plaintiffs, the realization that the NCAA was not dedicated to equal opportunity for women came during the 2021-22 women’s swimming season.”

The hurdle they are going to have to get over is the determention that males who decide themselves females, which has never been settled how, that are being recognized based upon the proclaiming by the male and determined by the federal government as a part of the first amendment, is all the NCAA has to work with.

According to the IOC, They will not discriminate against an athlete who has qualified through their IF, on the basis of their gender identity and/or sex characteristics. And they stopped doing lab testing on anything in 1999. So they and the NCAA will have to go on the basis of what they are told to do from the feds. The IOC is not a US company.

So you’ve got the higher level of competition not separating them, or the US government either. And the NCAA is stuck in the middle. This lawsuit is not aimed at the proper people as the US government has set a precedence for rule within the country by adding to the first amendment. The competitors should have sued them.

You might want to rephrase that.

Same here. I was talking to my wife about this. Why did it take me years to realize just how simple it is. I don’t get it.
