ATS is ahead of the curve. We have had many discussions on this topic. So here it is, and much sooner than I expected. These girls just
woke up and really realized what it means to race against a biologically born male. They will lose every single time.
I'm curious what people think will come next? Will they continue to allow trans-gendered students to beat girls over and over.
Will there be Trans-gendered only races, will they have to race with the group they were biologically born to?
I bet we won't see this topic on The View! Girls vs. Trans-gendered students...

I predict the next sport to go down will be women's beach volleyball. An all transgender squad... although I don't think too many people are going to be wanting to see them in those skimpy outfits.

It's a slippery slope and many more issues that will come to light.
My daughters friend plays college volleyball w/scholarship. When she was little, she was just a frail little girl.
The last time I saw her she was about 6'2 and completely looked like a man. We are talking male facial features.
I seriously wonder if she is taking testosterone in order to compete. Purely gossip and speculation on my part with my daughters friend, but what if female college athletes are doing that? Wouldn't that give them a certain advantage also. Where do we draw the line?

Testosterone would be cheating but it wouldn't be the same as a born Male in terms of bone and muscle density.
Men are just born to be stronger with better endurance.

Yearwood's father, Rashaan, told the Courant, "As a human being — not as Andraya's father — it's disappointing that, in 2019, we're still debating who gets to participate and who doesn't." He added, "You would hope we'd gotten to a place in 300-plus years as a country that we're not debating who should be included, and who should not be. There is no place for exclusion."

Can't do that. Here's how it will play out:
So you're going to ignore the brave trangendered athlete's times in determining college scholarships and admissions???? That's gonna cost ya in court!
