“There are no set hormone ranges, body parts or chromosomes that all people of a particular sex or gender have,” the group said.
Trans athletes vary in athletic ability, just like cisgender athletes,” the ACLU tweeted. “In many states, the very same cis girls who have claimed that trans athletes have an unfair advantage have consistently performed as well as or better than transgender competitors.”
The ACLU argued that excluding transgender females from girls' sports hurts female athletes by potentially subjecting them to “gender policing” and robbing them of “caring environments where teammates are supported by each other and by coaches.”
others argued that if the ACLU assertions were true, there would be examples of transgender boys excelling in boys' sports.

Welcome to the new reality.
You know what always gets me? Whenever I see people or groups pushing for "trans" men/women/whatever to be included in women's sports, I NEVER see those people advocating for doing away with men's and women's sports altogether. So, why don't they call for this? If they actually believe that men and women are biological and physiologically identical, why don't they want to just do away with men's and women's sports altogether and have everything mixed? Why are they advocating for including "trans women" in women's sports instead of just saying "hey, men and women should just play together in everything!"?
They know.

Paul began by citing a past Department of Education Office of Civil Rights ruling that stated that allowing boys who believe themselves to be girls to compete in girls’ sports violated the rights of actual female students and asked Cardona if he’d enforce that ruling.
“What do you think in general about boys running in girls’ track meets like they’ve been doing in Connecticut?” Paul asked.
“I think that it’s critically important to education systems and educators respect the rights of all students, including students who are transgender. And that they are afforded the opportunities that every other student has to participate in extracurricular activities,” Cardona said, avoiding a direct answer.
“Does it bother you that, like, the top twenty percent of boys running in track meets beat all of the girls in the state … that it would completely destroy girls’ athletics, that girls are being pushed out, they don’t make the finals in the state meet, they don’t get college scholarships, that it’s really detrimental to girls’ sports. Do you worry about having boys run in the girls’ track meet?”
