You can't always get what you want. Becky can run track against the females as a 12 year old MTF. I'm more concerned with the Lia's of the world to be honest. I'm tripping out how hard core this has taken. So one of my dear friends will only talk to me about the arrest of Trump and this Transgender take over of all things women. I also heard BO is moving to Kenya for one year beginning in June. I will say the truth is hard to see.So this is a big mess now. Firstly, the Supreme Court refused to reinstate the blanket trans ban from West Virginia. Second, the Ed Department proposed rule has now extended gender identity as protected under Title IX. Third, the Biden admin issued new guidance on Title IX and trans athletes. The new ruling uses the federal supremacy power to wipe out all the trans bans the states have enacted. That makes the red states unhappy. But the new rules do recognize that trans athletes can be banned from certain competitive categories. That makes the trans unhappy. The stumbling block is there has to be a place where they can compete so I think we are heading for trans athletes being banned from their preferred genders in individual, but not team events, if they are on treatment and the sport is deemed "competitive".
The bit of that article that I can see doesn't have an author's name on it. Whose opinion is it?The Economist weighs in on the treatment of gender-dysphoric children.
“On different sides of the Atlantic, medical experts have weighed the evidence for the treatment of gender-dysphoric children and teenagers, those who feel intense discomfort with their biological sex. This treatment is life-changing and can lead to infertility. Broadly speaking, the consensus in America is that medical intervention and gender affirmation are beneficial and should be more accessible. Across Europe several countries now believe that the evidence is lacking and such interventions should be used sparingly and need further study. The Europeans are right.”

Where would one find the new title ix refs?Haven’t read the tome that is the new title ix refs but here’s where I think things end up based on the commentary I’ve read on Mtfs competing with the fs, assuming this holds:
-blue states are free to be as liberally inclusive as they want
-red states cannot enact blanket bans all of which have been wiped away
-you cannot ban from prepubescent/elementary school and intramural or coed activities
-post puberty bans can be enacted but they will be constrained by what the ncaa and other orgs (like fina) conclude about the science. If they conclude a balance can be struck by treatment you gotta stick with that. If they conclude it can’t be balanced you can ban
-but you must be able to supply an alternative for them to compete if they are under treatment and do not remain competitive with cis men. I take it that means possibly separate leagues for the individual sports but if insufficient mass for team sports then inclusion in the f leagues
-the regs measure not only participation, competitive advantage but also scholarship availability since gender identity would now be protected under title ix. They seem to acknowledge sports is about participation, competition and the money.
they seem to end up where I thought this might end up, with my main point of disagreement being some of these bans potentially extend into high school sports. No doubt will also be challenged in court.
Ps some thoughts on the discrimination provisions. Since gender identity will be title ix covered, refusing to participate against or engaging in protest against a trans athlete ruled as eligible and not subject to a ban will be considered discrimination. An athlete, coach that backs up or school that backs up the athlete will be subject to the same sanctions that they would if they treated a gay or black athlete that way (eg suspension)Haven’t read the tome that is the new title ix refs but here’s where I think things end up based on the commentary I’ve read on Mtfs competing with the fs, assuming this holds:

Mid Vermont Christian School has already been banned from participating in any tournaments sponsored by the Vermont Principals Association, which effectively means the state playoffs in all recognized sports.Ps some thoughts on the discrimination provisions.

Interesting issue re that Vermont school if it did it again. As a private Christian school it’s outside of title ix. But it competes against public schools in a state sanctioned league. Under the new rules, their conduct is illegal and discriminatory and subject to sanction (eg removal from the sanctioned league). This might indicate Christian schools might try to go their own way and form their own leagues, but they’ll pay a heavy price in athletic recruitment as ncaa schools will be limited in the recruiting they can do out of non title ix compliant schools. They’ll have to pick between their principles and the money and opportunity for their students.

The difference in result is the Utah principals association would have to do the same against a Mormon private school for the same behavior even, assuming the mtf athlete was not trans banned pursuant to the new rules, even if Utah disagrees with Vermont (or substitute Florida if you prefer).Mid Vermont Christian School has already been banned from participating in any tournaments sponsored by the Vermont Principals Association, which effectively means the state playoffs in all recognized sports.

Could you diagram that sentence for me?The difference in result is the Utah principals association would have to do the same against a Mormon private school for the same behavior even, assuming the mtf athlete was not trans banned pursuant to the new rules, even if Utah disagrees with Vermont (or substitute Florida if you prefer).
