The ignorance is real....everyone with a differing opinion and/or presentation of FACTS is called names by one person on this thread.
It really doesn't matter what the President declares from a long term perspective though both sides love to point fingers. What matters is what the Supreme Court will conclude on the issue of what discrimination on the basis of sex means in the confines of Title IX....gender identity or biological.
To make the argument that it hasn't been a problem in the past few years with FALSE facts is beyond ridiculous.
It has only been in the recent years that it has been society accepted (of sorts) and even protected. I have noticed the trend of many people identifying as transgender during puberty and the recruiting groups for such on Tik Tok. I also noted in my older daughter friend group that the girls that decided they were boys also ALL came from early childhood trauma and were being raised by their Grandparents. Most are no longer Transgender and now identify with their biological sex at the age of 19. I have a friend with a daughter in eighth grade. All 5 of her friends has determined they are boys since COVID started. One friend of my daughter's identified as a boy and his brother identified as a girl both from trauma backgrounds. The trend of recent years will more than likely result in an increase in biological males entering female sports.
Using the argument regarding what the Olympic's has allowed it is ridiculous. What the Olympics allows is completely different than a person self identifying as a male and "bam", playing women's sports as is allowed here in California.
FACT Check: The International Olympic Committee (IOC) updated its policy for transgender athletes in 2015 to be more inclusive and also remain fair to all athletes. "Surgical anatomical changes" are no longer required as that policy may "be inconsistent with developing legislation and notions of human rights."
Transgender male athletes are eligible to compete in the male category without restriction. In order to compete in the female category, transgender female athletes must declare that their gender is female for a minimum of four years and must monitor their testosterone level below 10nmol/L for at least 12 months prior to their first competition and below 10 nmol/L throughout the period of desired eligibility to compete in the female category.
These guidelines are meant to be "living documents" and are intended to comply with the World Anti-Doping Code and the WADA International Standards.
