They already did change the rules.
Men are winning state titles in women's wrestling and track.
next up, Olympic Gold.

Again, High School to Olympic gold is a long ways away. Remember those East German girls of our youth? I don't think there is a big push from the LBGQT community for full uniformity here. I think we are seeing a blip. Like I already posted, I doubt there are lines of young men who are ready to get their sex reassigned for athletic glory or to say they identify as female for the same fleeting glory. Obviously there will be a few. But they will be a small miniscule group that may find the social pressures not worth the effort.

Exactly.
This is why there are male and female categories.

Sports where we make up the rules as we go along are not sports anymore.

Regardless of how many categories you want there to be, there are people born who don't fit into the neat little boxes. As it seems we all agree that they should be allowed to participate in sports, the only real question is where do these transgendered youths get to play...

My guess is some of them would be a better fit playing with the "boys" and others with the "girls." And rather then have the government dictate that down to us from-up-on-above, my personal feeling is these decision should be left to the local communities to workout on a case by case basis. Sometimes you just have to put your trust in people to make the right decision.

Exactly.
Boys should play with boys and girls with girls.
Where's the confusion here?

Hint : The gender on your birth certificate is a good guideline

You know what the word transgendered means? That's the problem I think you're looking for.
Or are you saying these kids shouldn't be allowed to play, because technically they aren't "boys" or "girls"...

They all have a gender on their birth certificate.
If they dont want that one anymore, then find other people with the same issue to compete against.
